EL PASO, Texas (CBS4/KFOX14) — British rock band Coldplay is taking over the Sun Bowl next summer, UTEP Special Events Office and Live Nation announced Tuesday morning.
The band will bring its Music of The Spheres World Tour to North America in May, June, and July 2025.
The show in El Paso will be on June 13.
El Paso is the only Texas location where the band will hold a concert.
UTEP Executive Director of Special Events Jorge Vasquez explained how UTEP is preparing for the concert in terms of tickets, wifi, and concession stands.
“We expect visitors from all over Texas and the region. The economic impact will be great.
Vasquez said that despite the bond proposed by the university which won’t be on the ballot, he said the university is still trying to improve the facility to have more top-notch artists come to the Sun Bowl.
“We’re trying to improve the infrastructure that we need. We’ll continue to upgrade the facility. That’s my goal to have those changes that this facility needs to be implemented as soon as possible,” Vasquez said.
“We have purchased some scanners from Ticketmaster that allow us to scan people faster. We are working on a few additions when it comes to technology to have a faster ingress,” Vasquez said.
Vasquez recommends people download their ticket prior to arriving at the gate to have a faster entrance and plan ahead of time.
Vasquez said UTEP is working on many new initiatives for this concert specifically when it comes to concessions.
