Coldplay’s 6-day concert boosts demand for accommodation in Singapore

Data from Agoda showed that searches for accommodation in the Lion City surged 8.7x.

The sky is full of stars for Singapore’s hoteliers as searches for accommodations in the city state rose by 8.7x in anticipation of Coldplay’s six-day concert in January 2024.

According to Agoda, the surge is driven mainly by Malaysia and Indonesia. Searches also increased from travellers from the Philippines, Brunei, the United States, and Thailand.

Meanwhile, the booking platform also believes that the Lion City will also get more travellers from Hong Kong, Australia, Vietnam, India, and many other markets.

“The significant upswing aligns with ticket releases for the highly anticipated six-day Coldplay concert series, demonstrating the undeniable power of music as a major travel motivator. With six shows, Singapore will be the main stop in Asia during Coldplay’s ‘Music of the Spheres World Tour,” Agoda said.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
