COLDPLAY Announce Rising Artist Competiton

With their two exclusive Perth concert events both totally sold out, one of the world’s biggest bands, Coldplay, in association with the Western Australian Government, will give a local WA artist a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to open for them on the Australian leg of their Music of The Spheres World Tour.

These history-making events will take place on Saturday, November 18 and Sunday, November 19, 2023 at Perth’s Optus Stadium.

The winner will also secure a $15,000 grant provided through the WA Government Contemporary Music Fund for further development, before taking the stage for their Coldplay support live set on November 18 and 19 at Optus Stadium.

Entries open August 21 and close September 4, with the winner due to be announced on October 2.

To be eligible, entrants must be residents of WA aged 16 years and over and upload a recording of one of their own original songs, as well as a video of them performing live. Submissions can be made at perth.coldplay.com and all entries will be assessed by team Coldplay and a panel of music industry professionals. The final winner will then be selected by Coldplay.
