Coldplay have added extra Dublin dates due to high demand, with many fans sharing their frustration at struggling to access tickets online due to technical issues.

This comes after pre sale tickets for next August's shows went up for sale this morning, with thousands of music lovers hopeful of securing tickets.

Coldplay who had already confirmed dates for Dublin's Croke Park on August 29 and 30, will now perform at the venue on September 1 and 2 with tickets for all three dates going on general sale from 10am Friday.
