DIGITAL travel platform Agoda revealed an 8.7x increase in searches for accommodations in Singapore on the dates of Coldplay’s January 2024 concert series.
In a press statement received in Jakarta, Friday (6/23), 2023 Agoda stated that the surge in searches was dominated by people from Indonesia and Malaysia as well as other neighboring countries.
“This surge in accommodation bookings is testament to the immense appeal of the live music concert experience, demonstrating the huge impact it has on the decision to travel,” said Enric Casals, Agoda’s Regional Associate Vice President for Southeast Asia.
Apart from tourists from Indonesia and Malaysia, Agoda said that Singapore is also likely to experience an increase in tourist arrivals from the Philippines, Brunei, the United States, Thailand and other countries.
Agoda’s search data for accommodation in Singapore is based on search trends between 18-20 June 2023 for check-in on 23-31 January 2024 compared to the same business day a week earlier.
Coldplay’s “Music Of The Spheres World Tour” concert in Singapore will be held at the National Stadium. Promoter Live Nation Singapore has designated this concert a total of six shows for 23-31 January 2024.
Previously, the promoter announced that the concert would take place in four shows on January 23-27 2024. Seeing the high interest from fans, the promoter also added two more scheduled shows for a total of six days.
Coldplay will also stop in several other cities in Asia, including Jakarta which will be held on November 15 2023 at the Gelora Bung Karno Jakarta Main Stadium. [antaranews/photo special]
