The Minister of Tourism, Celso Sabino, confirmed on Saturday (September 28, 2024) that Belém (PA) will have a Coldplay show before COP30 in 2025. As shown in the Power360the state government was negotiating an edition of the Global Citizen festival before the climate event.

The government of the State of Pará negotiated to host an edition of the NGO Global Citizen to Belém just before COP30, a UN (United Nations) climate event, to be held in 2025 in the capital of Pará.
Chris Martin, lead singer of Coldplay, is one of the NGO’s global leaders. The idea would be to hold the festival in the capital of Pará 15 to 20 days before COP30 effectively. The other artists who will participate in the festival are expected to be announced on November 17, 2024.
The festival should not be the only preparatory event in Belém for COP30. There will be agendas for debates on the topics covered by the conference and artistic presentations.

There are doubts about the city’s hosting and infrastructure capacity for this, as there is a race against time to complete the works in time for the COP.
