Ticketmaster said overwhelming demand for the British band's tour led to an extra show in Cardiff in summer 2023.
Tens of thousands of fans were placed in an online queue when tickets went on sale for the first show at 10:00 BST on Thursday.

More than four million people have been to gigs in North America, with a series of recently-announced European dates for 2023, including four nights in Manchester, followed by shows on 6 and 7 June in Cardiff.
