The Ghost Stories Tour was the sixth concert tour undertaken by British rock band Coldplay. It was announced on 17 April 2014 in support of their sixth studio album, Ghost Stories, and marked a return to live performing at more intimate venues following the stadium, arena and festival shows from Mylo Xyloto Tour (2011–12). The band performed all songs from the album's standard version and some of their previous material. Concerts began on 25 April 2014 at Germany's E-Werk and ended at the BMW Welt (in the same country) on 6 December 2014, being noted for combining live and pre-recorded content for small settings.[3]
Only three dates had an opening act, with SZA, London Grammar and AlunaGeorge supporting the Beacon Theatre, Royce Hall and Royal Albert Hall concerts, respectively. The tour was met with generally positive reviews from music critics, who praised the production and how Coldplay connected with the audience. Following its ending, the band released Ghost Stories Live 2014, which included music videos for "Always in My Head", "All Your Friends" and "Ghost Story" in its physical editions and was nominated for Best Music Film at the 57th Annual Grammy Awards. Overall, the concert run grossed $3.09 million from 29,129 tickets sold in 10 reported shows.[b]
