Coldplay concert chronology |
The Music of the Spheres World Tour is the ongoing eighth concert tour undertaken by British rock band Coldplay. It is being staged to promote their ninth and tenth studio albums, Music of the Spheres (2021) and Moon Music (2024), respectively. 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. It is the band's first live performances since the COVID-19 pandemic, as they had not toured their previous record, Everyday Life (2019), because of environmental concerns. Prior to the tour, the band spent two years developing strategies that aimed to reduce their CO2 emissions by 50% compared to the Head Full of Dreams Tour (2016–17).
Coldplay announced the tour on 14 October 2021, the day before the release of Music of the Spheres. 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 received widespread acclaim from music critics, who praised Coldplay's 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 most attended tour of all time and the second-highest-grossing. The band also set a variety of records at the venues they visited. A concert film, Music of the Spheres: Live at River Plate, was released to cinemas worldwide in 2023. Emissions from the concert run were cut by 59% based on the first two years of activity, leading Time to include Coldplay among the world's most influential climate action leaders. Pollstar declared that they ushered in "a new era of sustainable touring".
