The Music of the Spheres World Tour is the ongoing eighth concert tour undertaken by British rock band Coldplay. Announced on 14 October 2021, it is being staged to promote their ninth and tenth studio albums, Music of the Spheres (2021) and Moon Music (2024), respectively. The performances mark the band's return to live entertainment after the COVID-19 pandemic, as they had not toured their previous record, Everyday Life (2019), because of environmental concerns. According to the strategies created over the previous two years, CO2 emissions would be cut by 50% compared to the Head Full of Dreams Tour (2016–17).
Similar to the Mylo Xyloto Tour (2011–12), the concerts make extensive use of pyrotechnics and confetti. However, they were adapted to minimise the group's carbon footprint. Other ideas included crafting the first mobile rechargeable show battery in the world with BMW and planting a tree for every ticket sold. The tour began at Estadio Nacional de Costa Rica on 18 March 2022 and is scheduled to end at London's Wembley Stadium on 8 September 2025. Coldplay received widespread acclaim from music critics, who praised their stage presence, musicianship, versatility, joyfulness and production value.
With a global cultural impact, the Music of the Spheres World Tour has grossed $1.059 billion in revenue from 9.6 million tickets across 164 dates, making it the highest-grossing and most attended tour of all time. The band also established or broke many records at the venues they visited. To celebrate the performances, Music of the Spheres: Live at River Plate (2023) was broadcast in cinemas around the world. Emissions from the concert run were reduced by 59%, leading Time to feature Coldplay among the most influential climate action leaders on the planet. Similarly, Pollstar declared that they ushered into "a new era of sustainable touring".
