Super League side Hull KR have confirmed that they will welcome one of the world’s biggest bands to play at Craven Park.
Craven Park will play host to Coldplay in August next year on back-to-back nights with the British band only announcing two European venues, one of which is the Robins’ stadium.
Wembley will be the other venue where the band will play six nights but it’s a huge boost for a club like Hull KR to be on the same pedestal as such a stadium as Wembley.
It’s a major nod to the club’s off-field work, of which CEO Paul Lakin has overseen plenty, including the recent confirmation that they will add a further 1,000 seats to the ground for the 2025 and 2026 stadium.
As well as being a huge draw in status at hosting a band such as Coldplay, there will also be IMG boosts for Hull KR who will likely see spikes in their social media traffic, as evident by the fact that their announcement post on X has been shared almost 50 times already.
