TheMusic of the Spheres World Tour is the ongoing eighthconcert tour undertaken by Britishrock bandColdplay. It is being staged to promote their ninth and tenth studio albums,Music of the Spheres (2021) andMoon Music (2024), respectively. The tour began atSan José'sEstadio Nacional de Costa Rica on 18 March 2022, paused atLondon'sWembley Stadium on 12 September 2025 and the band expect to restart in 2027.[2] It marked their return to live performances after theCOVID-19 pandemic, spanning 225 dates in 80 cities across 43 countries. They had not touredEveryday Life (2019) because ofenvironmental concerns. A team of experts measured theirCO2 emissions and devised strategies to reduce them over the following two years.
Coldplay announced the first shows on 14 October 2021, a day beforeMusic of the Spheres was released. Similar to theMylo Xyloto Tour (2011–2012), production elements involvedpyrotechnics,confetti andlasers. However, adaptations were done to cut theircarbon footprint. Other ideas included crafting the first rechargeable mobile show battery in the world withBMW and planting a tree for every ticket sold. Emissions fell by 59% in comparison tothe group's previous tour, leadingTime to rank Coldplay among the most influential climate action leaders.Pollstar stated that they have ushered in "a new era of sustainable touring".
Following the release of Coldplay's eighth studio album,Everyday Life (2019), lead singer and pianistChris Martin toldBBC News that the band would not tour until they could make showsmore sustainable.[3] The record was promoted through intimate charity events and a performance broadcast from theAmman Citadel viaYouTube.[4] A team of sustainability experts was commissioned to investigate theircarbon footprint and reduce it over the next two years.[5] On 14 October 2021, a day beforeMusic of the Spheres came out, the group announced the first leg of the tour, officially marking their return to live performances after theCOVID-19 pandemic.[6] The statement was accompanied by a website that explained how Coldplay would tackle environmental issues across 12 fields, cutting emissions by half relative to theHead Full of Dreams Tour (2016–2017).[5] Performances carried out before the trek included the inauguration ofClimate Pledge Arena,[5] as well as theirExpo 2020 debut.[7]San José was the first stop due torenewable energy in Costa Rica.[8]
Coldplay adapted their stage and equipment to reduce the amount of resources needed to function
The stage was developed in a collaboration between production designer Misty Buckley and lighting designer Sooner Routhier, with Coldplay giving their own input in every aspect of the project.[9] They were inspired by themusica universalis philosophy ofancient Greece, unfolding spherical patterns out from the stage in numerous directions.[10] Other running concepts included "alien music festivals in space, love, people and togetherness".[9] After turning her sketches intoCAD drawings, Buckley made their layouts functional and decorated them with symbols from the tour'snamesake album.[9] The final design showed two 14-metre circular screens, four inflatableLED spheres and the Moonrise, an arched video wall spanning 44 metres wide and 6 metres high.[11] ROE Visual and PRG Projects supplied the products.[11]
For the ground structure, TAIT Towers built three round stages linked by runways.[12] They were made of lightweight, reusable materials such as recycled steel,[13] while the modular framework allowed Coldplay to make seamless transitions between areas and provide extra vantage points to watch them perform.[12] Along withBMW, the band set up the first rechargeable mobile show battery in the world.[14] It was powered bywind turbines installed on delay towers,[15]solar blankets laid on empty seats andhydrotreated vegetable oil.[16] Two kinetic floors and at least 15stationary bicycles were arranged to interact with the public as well.[17]
Maintaining their sustainability plans, Coldplay upgraded equipment to incorporate low-energy displays,lasers and lighting sets.[18] Routhier acquired about 600 colour fixtures for the show through Upstaging, favouringIP65-rated products due to their weather resistance.[9] Except for the spotlight system, all the gear was LED-based.[9] Its pieces were suspended from pylons across the venue and fixed in circular configurations, reinforcing patterns with flowing movements.[10] The band wanted to induce the feeling of moving through the sevenchakras, leading Routhier to vaguely abide by their colours.[10] In terms of video production, the stage hardware featured 26 cameras.[11] Five were operated automatically and eight were placed near musical instruments.[11] The digital media team created real-time visuals and effects using Notch.[11] To broadcast footage, the camera crew obtained eight Disguise GX 2C servers and aGrass Valley Karrera 4 M/E switcher, while their Ereca Stage Racer 2 units granted control over audio and video signals on a single fiber.[11]
Front of house duties were overseen by Dan Green and Tony Smith, who worked with Coldplay ontheir previous tour.[19] They renewed the sound system and split the central control into unique racks for each band member, improving their flexibility and integration across departments.[19] Green scaled down his outboard gear as well, extensively relying on effect plugins.[19] The hangs, ground subs, front fills and delays were all supplied byd&b audiotechnik, totaling more than 200 speakers and 110 amplifiers.[20] Products from both the J and SL series were used on tour, reducing power consumption and noise pollution.[20] For control, the sound team had aDiGiCo SD7 console and a Quantum engine.[19]In-ear monitors were primarily Wisycom MTK952 units, as their wide frequency range alleviated the need to carry multiple sets.[19] Lithium batteries on radio communication devices such aswireless microphones andwalkie-talkies were replaced byNiMH packages.[19] On special effects,pyrotechnics adopted new formulas to curtail harmful chemicals;[13] balloons were sourced from recyclable material; and confetti cannons adjusted to require less compressed gas for ignition, releasing biodegradable paper.[9] Coldplay also moved fromXylobands toPixMob wristbands made of sugarcane,[21] minimising production by collecting, sterilising and refurbishing them.[22] Lastly, the show had an oversized disco ball with lasers inside.[9]
DHL was the main logistics and transport partner for the tour
Coldplay used around 30 trucks and 10 buses to carry their stage and equipment.[9] The fleet consisted ofelectric vehicles or was fueled withbiofuel whenever possible.[23] A sustainability agreement was sent to all venues in advance to verify which environmental policies they could follow,[24] helping the band incorporate local resources into the concerts.[24] Routes were planned to limit air travel, favouring cities accessible to audiences from surrounding regions.[23] The crew relied on bothcommercial andcharter flights, but prioritised the former.[25] Extra fees to harnesssustainable aviation fuel were paid at all times, whether for themselves or others.[25]
The product was originally supplied byNeste, but Coldplay severed ties with the company afterpublic accusations of greenwashing.[26] They announced a partnership withDHL for logistics and transport months later.[27]SAP was enlisted to develop amobile app featuring exclusive photos, videos, news updates and a travel calculator.[28] Fans could also redeem a discount code at the group's merchandise store by opting for cleaner journeys.[28] All of their vendors were selected to provide environmentally conscious pieces, packaged in recycled paper, card or compostable bags whenever possible.[18] The band requested evidence of ethical working conditions as well.[18]
To reduce food waste on the road, catering menus adopted plant-based and meat-free options.[29] Coldplay sourced them locally, donated surplus to food banks andcomposted their organic scraps.[29] Regarding water use, they asked venues to implement aerated taps, low-flushing toilets and minimise hydraulic pressure.[29] Attendees were encouraged to bring reusable bottles and fill them at designated stations.[18] The group endorsed numerous organisations, includingClimeworks,the Ocean Cleanup andSea Shepherd UK.[30] One Tree Planted nurtured a sapling for every ticket sold in forest reserves.[30] A team led by professor John E. Fernández at theMassachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) was responsible for observing Coldplay's progress on tour,[31] with unavoidable emissions neutralised according to theOxford principles.[24] The band donated £2.1 million to environmental causes in 2021 as well.[32] For inclusivity, resources entailedSubPac vests, sign language interpreters, touch experiences and aKultureCity sensory refuge station.[33] They also launched the Infinity Ticket program, which offered $20 admissions for fans who could not afford the standard prices.[34] Such entries were non-transferable, available only in pairs and assigned to random seats at the box office on concert day.[34] In 2025, the residency atWembley Stadium became the first completely operated on solar, wind and kinetic power.[35]
American singerH.E.R. was among the most frequent opening acts
Most of the tour included twosupporting acts at each concert, with priority given to up-and-coming female singers.[36] In 2022,H.E.R. opened for Coldplay in Argentina,[37] Costa Rica,[38] Santo Domingo,[39] the United States,[40] and Europe along with a regional musician.[41]London Grammar replaced the singer on select dates from the latter territory,[41] whileCamila Cabello assumed the role completely in Peru, Colombia and Chile.[42] Mexico had exclusively national guests, withCarla Morrison andDannyLux performing.[43]Zoe Wees was invited forBerlin but substituted by Alli Neumann due to illness.[44] Clara Cava backed upZoe Gotusso inBuenos Aires for the same reason.[45]
In 2023,Chvrches supported Coldplay in Brazil and Europe.[46] They followed the established template and collaborated with a new local act at every stop, occasionally being swapped forGriff.[47] On 31 May and 1 June,Manchester featured a surprise set from the Oasis Academy Temple Steel Band before the openers.[48]Jada cancelled her guest appearance inCopenhagen after pregnancy complications, which led toOh Land claiming the spot.[49] H.E.R. returned when the tour visited North America for the second time,[50] accompanied by070 Shake and Bobby Gonz in all performances rather than a different artist in each city.[51]
Divided into four acts, the concert lasted over two hours and represented "a journey traveling outwards into the unknown to then come home having learned something new".[61] Two guest speakers welcomed attendees and introduced a video showing Coldplay's sustainability efforts.[62] It ran for about two minutes, using "Light Through the Veins" (2009) byJon Hopkins as the soundtrack.[63] The first act,Planets, explored the belief in a greater magic and the decision to search for it.[61] A live feed exhibited the band members walking to the stage, greeting fans and heading to their respective places while "Flying" (1982) byJohn Williams transitioned into "Music of the Spheres" and "Higher Power", setting off numerous fireworks and confetti cannons.[64] Once the song ended, Martin removed his jacket and guitaristJonny Buckland started playing "Adventure of a Lifetime" as giant balls were thrown to the crowd.[65] This was followed by "Paradise", which included extended parts based on call-and-repeat exchanges.[64] A short excerpt of "Oceans" marked the beginning of "The Scientist" and Martin sat at the piano for the first time during the night.[66] He thanked the audience while singing, occasionally incorporating covers as well.[66]
Footage of the performance was then sped-up, reversed and played back when Coldplay made their way to the B-stage forMoons,[64] an act that symbolised life's difficult phases and experiences.[61] The interlude flowed into "Viva la Vida", with drummerWill Champion directing the chants throughout the song.[67] White, red and blue visuals were used as a reference to theFrench Revolution.[68] Buckland kicked off "Hymn for the Weekend" by playing the keyboard next.[64] During the last chorus, Martin pretended to be drunk and stumbled on stage,[69] dropping his facade right before another blast of confetti was released into the public.[64]
The show continued with a piano version of "Let Somebody Go",[70] featuring one of the opening acts or a fan who was chosen in advance on select dates.[71] Buckland, Champion and bassistGuy Berryman moved to the main stage for a break in the meantime, returning only for the rotational slot, when the band performed songs such as "In My Place", "Politik",[72] "Orphans" and "Coloratura".[73] Golden lights were emitted from the wristbands right after to begin "Yellow", which was played under a giant disco ball.[64] For the last chorus, Martin asked people near the stage to turn around, face those at the back of the visited stadium and dedicate the lyrics to them.[64]
Large red hearts appeared across the stands to launch the third act,Stars.[74] It was based on meeting extraterrestrial beings and embracing others of all backgrounds, starting with "Human Heart".[61] Puppet character Angel Moon mimicked the vocals originally recorded byWe Are King.[74] The segment was eventually followed by "People of the Pride", which used various flashing lights andflamethrowers.[74] Martin often waved apride flag taken from the audience during the song.[74] Next in the set, Coldplay performed "Clocks" amid greenlasers in reference to the visual backdrop they had on theRush of Blood to the Head Tour (2002–2003).[75]
A secondary section called The Lightclub started with "Infinity Sign" being played while the band donned custom helmets.[64] "Something Just Like This" was then interpreted inAmerican Sign Language, before switching to a remix of "Midnight".[64] Once the intermission ended, they removed their extra gear to present "My Universe", featuring the members ofBTS on the screens and vocal cues directed at the public during the outro.[64] Proceeding with the concert, "A Sky Full of Stars" unfolded normally until Martin interrupted the song for a brief discussion with Berryman, Buckland and Champion.[76] He then encouraged attendees to put their phones away before kicking off again.[76]
Home, the fourth and final act, outlined a newfound sense of self-love and appreciation for the diversity of all beings.[61] "Sunrise" played overLouis Armstrong's spoken introduction to "What a Wonderful World" (1967) while the band moved to the C-stage for an acoustic set.[77] They generally performed tracks fromParachutes (2000),[78] followed by a cover, improvisation or guest appearance.[64] The section was also used for acknowledgments, with Martin thanking the tour crew, naming his bandmates for the audience and inviting everyone to raise their arms to send love out into the universe.[64] A fireworks display concluded the latter dynamic.[64]
Coldplay then returned to the main stage for "Humankind" and "Fix You", which included golden lights similar to "Yellow".[79] The last song of the night was "Biutyful", featuring Angel Moon and her group The Weirdos.[80] Butterfly-shaped confetti rained down on the crowd during its outro, while fireworks lit up the sky again.[69] Finally, the central screen exhibited the phrase "Believe in Love" after a blast of party streamers closed the show.[69] Berryman, Buckland, Champion and Martin interacted with fans before leaving, sometimes handing over drumsticks or guitar picks as souvenirs.[81] The production credits rolled to the sound of "A Wave" in the background.[64]
Prior toBogotá, "Paradise" lacked extended parts, "Charlie Brown" maintained a permanent position on the set list and "Sunrise" introduced the Stars act.[82] Starting fromSão Paulo, "Let Somebody Go" gave way to the Songbook, where Martin performed a track chosen by the public.[83] Coldplay updated the Lightclub as well, taking turns between "Hymn for the Weekend" (Seeb remix) and "Something Just Like This".[84] "Aeterna" replaced "Midnight" depending on the pick.[84]Singapore fixed "The Jumbotron Song" at the C-stage, with lyrics improvised about the person on the screens.[85] InBudapest, the band cut "Biutyful" to make "Feelslikeimfallinginlove" the finale.[86]Martin Garrix's "Breakaway" (2024) became part of the Lightclub following theirGlastonbury Festival appearance.[87] It featured a pre-designated security guard dancing with them on stage.[76] "Humankind" was removed inRome to bring "Good Feelings".[88] Coldplay performed it after "Fix You" and invited attendees to wear thediffraction glasses handed out before the show to magnify its visuals.[69]Dublin andMelbourne added "We Pray" and "All My Love" to the set list permanently.[89] The former succeeded "Clocks", while the latter wrapped up the Moons act.[90]
Coldplay broke numerous touring records worldwide.Billboard ranked them as the top group of the year in 2022 ($342.1 million from 3.8 million tickets),[91] 2023 ($342.5 million from 3.2 million tickets),[92] 2024 ($400.9 million from 3 million tickets),[93] and 2025 ($464.4 million from 3.5 million tickets).[94] Their first European leg sold 1 million admissions in a single day.[95] Extra dates were scheduled at venues includingStade de France andKing Baudouin Stadium, where the band performed a record-breaking four times.[96] The achievement was later reproduced atEstadio Nacional de Chile,[97] while theirEstadio River Plate visit reached the 10-show milestone.[98] By making $49.7 million from 626,841 entries inBuenos Aires, they earned the highest gross and attendance for a boxscore report in South American history.[99] Over the course of March 2023, Coldplay became the act with most concerts in a row at theCouto Pereira (2),[100]Nilton Santos (3) andMorumbi (6) stadiums.[101] Revenue at the latter surpassed $40.1 million, an unprecedented figure in Brazil.[102]
Coldplay have the biggest tour of all time in Europe and Latin America
The second run across Europe shifted 1.4 million tickets in a day, marking thefastest sales for a band at the time.[103] It was also the quickest in general sinceRobbie Williams'Close Encounters Tour, which set the record at 1.6 million back in 2005.[104] More than 812,000 users vied for admissions in the United Kingdom, overloading the BritishTicketmaster server multiple times.[105] News outlets registered extensive online queues in Portugal (450,000),[106] Spain (350,000),[107] Italy (700,000),[108] and the Netherlands (700,000) as well.[109] Coldplay established new records at theCidade de Coimbra,[110]Lluís Companys,[111] andSan Siro stadiums.[108]
Following dates continued to attract overwhelming demand, surpassing 1.7 million people in Indonesia;[112] 400,000 in Malaysia;[113] 365,000 in Australia;[114] and 1 million inSingapore, where the group arranged a six-night residency.[115]SM Tickets had to suspend internet sales in the Philippines due to a server crash.[116] In Taiwan, entries sold out in three minutes for the first concert and six for the second, both of which were unprecedented among Western musicians.[117] Held on 15 November 2023, the show atGelora Bung Karno Stadium generated $13.9 million, the most for an individual engagement in Southeast Asia.[118]
The tour received widespread acclaim from music critics worldwide.[b] Andrew Chamings fromSan Francisco Chronicle said that despite his "cynicism, Coldplay's show was a joyous, bright, cathartic post-pandemic triumph".[137] Writing forHouston Press, Marco Torres called it "a beautiful dream, with balloons flying around, confetti bursting from air cannons and lasers shooting from the stage through the smoke" as the group performed.[138]Fort Worth Star-Telegram's Mac Engel claimed that Martin showed all of the skills that make him one of the top performers of his generation and madeCotton Bowl feel intimate with a powerful set.[139] In her review forChicago Sun-Times, Selena Fragassi credited the concerts with setting the bar for what tours could be like in the future.[140] Similarly, Christopher A. Daniel fromThe Atlanta Journal-Constitution praised the production values as "reminiscent of the art rock foundation paved by bands likeGenesis,Kraftwerk andPink Floyd", adding that Coldplay are set to become a "must-see legendary act".[141] Furthermore, Philip Cosores ofUproxx opined that "there is no wasted energy, with every bit of the set time used to create memories and impact the audience".[142] He also concluded that if environmental concerns become the norm for touring, the band's status as an essential contemporary artist "will take on greater meaning than just the legacy of their music".[142] In a more mixed review, Ed Masley toldThe Arizona Republic that their use of the Weirdos during segments of the performance felt awkward, while "Biutyful" did not work well as a closer.[143]
Regioactive's Torsten Reitz declared that they were "full of energy and much more powerful than on record", mastering both upbeat and quiet moments.[144] Marine Pineau wrote that Coldplay lived up to their reputation as a live act and lauded the band for their showmanship in her review forVirgin Radio.[145]Alexis Petridis fromThe Guardian praised the tour for being a "genuinely immersive" experience which gave depth to itsnamesake album through an inventive approach, rating the residency atWembley Stadium with five stars.[146] Kate Solomon ofThe Times considered it a "triumphant homecoming", awarded Coldplay four stars and commended their musicianship.[147]The Telegraph'sNeil McCormick hailed them as "modern masters" of stadium entertainment and granted the same score.[148] Writing a five-star piece forNME, Hannah Mylrea stated that the band offered a masterclass in how a massive pop show can be done.[149] Wilson Ledo fromCNN Portugal noted the concert had a lasting euphoria and praised how Martin interacted with the public.[150] In hisMuzikalia review, Pau Clot mentioned that Coldplay "cannot be matched by anyone on this planet today".[151]Göteborgs-Posten's Johan Lindqvista highlighted the stage presence of the group and concluded they are "more than special effects".[152]Mark Beaumont ofThe Independent called theirGlastonbury Festival set "the spectacle of a lifetime".[153] On the other hand,Rolling Stone UK's Will Richards insisted that the midsection was drawn-out and had more potential.[154] Vicky Jessop fromThe Standard defined it as "wildly uneven".[155]
Felipe Branco Cruz fromVeja affirmed that Coldplay "reinvented the concept of arena rock" with theirRock in Rio performance, turning fans into protagonists of the show rather than just spectators and carrying on the legacy of spectacles that transcend music, first established by groups likePink Floyd,Queen andU2.[156] Writing forUOL, Yolanda Reis argued it is "undeniable" they are "true showmen" and defined the concert as unforgettable.[157] Roberto Medina, the founder and president of the festival, said "there has only been one moment like tonight,Freddie Mercury in 1985. It was incredible, it was memorable".[156]
El Comercio's Juan Carlos Fangacio Arakaki praised theirLima set lists for being complete, diverse and well distributed.[158] Pablo Figueroa stated onCNN Chile that Coldplay managed to deliver one of the best music events in the country sinceits transition to democracy.[159] An editorial fromInfobae lauded the group's versatility while performing inBuenos Aires.[160] Mauro Apicella ofLa Nación declared that they are leading the way in stadium technology and innovation.[161]Omelete writer Caio Coletti described Berryman's bass as "irresistibly pulsating" and upheld that Champion proved to be a good backing vocalist by guiding the "Viva la Vida" chants.[67]
Saori Yoshiba described the show as "a mixture of openness and intimate intensity" onBarks, adding that she experienced a "night where the power of music and the energy of a live performance left a lasting, euphoric feeling".[162] Writing forCNN Indonesia, Muhammad Feraldi Hifzurahman opined that Coldplay "are truly [something] you should try at least once in your life", praising the chemistry the band had with their fans.[163] However, the review included only four stars out of five because the organisers of the venue did not managed the public well.[163] Sam Mead ofThe Music stated that "over two decades in, this is [the group] at their best—hard-hitting, punchy grooves".[74]The West Australian's Caleb Runciman defended that Coldplay were responsible for the greatest event inOptus Stadium history, delivering "a concert, theatre production and light show all in one".[164] He underscored their musical prowess as well, giving them five stars.[164] Poppy Reid fromRolling Stone Australia said that the band solidified their status among the most visionary live acts, consistently blending hits with visual wonders.[165] Conversely,The Guardian Australia's Rosamund Brennan questioned the audience engagement while recent material was played.[68] Gregorio Larrazabal applauded the inclusion of national guests on his piece for theManila Bulletin, illustrating it as a spectacle of global and local melodies intertwining.[166]
On 17 July 2022, Coldplay launched an audio transmission fromStade de France on their tour app, titledLive in Paris.[207] The third show atEstadio River Plate, held on 28 October, was part ofLive Broadcast from Buenos Aires, a theatrical event directed by Paul Dugdale.[208] Screenings were held in a record 81 countries and grossed $8.4 million.[209] The band released adirector's cut on 19 April 2023, under the nameMusic of the Spheres: Live at River Plate.[210] Inspired by their shows atStadio Diego Armando Maradona and arranged by Stillz, the short filmTutto Passa – A Tribute to Napoli premiered on 23 May 2024.[211] The group's tenth studio album,Moon Music, launched on 4 October with songs recorded on the road.[212] Coldplay also joinedDisney+ Hotstar forLive in Ahmedabad, drawing more than 8.3 million views on 26 January 2025.[213] Footage from the concerts atWembley Stadium became available on 30 December, underMusic of the Spheres World Tour: An Immersive Experience, for a limited run viaMeta Horizon.[214]
According toPollstar's Eric Renner Brown, Coldplay have ushered into "a new era of sustainable touring" with the Music of the Spheres World Tour.[215] Their efforts were considered unprecedented for a stadium concert run,[216] since the band reducedCO2 emissions by 59% in their first two years of activity,[217] planted 9 million trees in forest reserves,[218] and had their methods adopted byLive Nation to provide green options to more artists.[219] Furthermore, they were listed among the most influential climate action leaders in the world byTime.[220] As the tour became a leading topic of news coverage in visited regions, it was also considered a media phenomenon.[221]Mark Beaumont fromThe Times stated that the band regained public respect and credibility, which prompted a shift in attitude towards them.[222]
Countries such as Portugal,[223] Italy,[224] and Malaysia experienced significant rises inticket speculation due to high demand for their shows.[225] Investigation of such cases inspired new legislation.[225] Thegovernment of Indonesia decided to simplify their event permit process after Coldplay were not able to schedule more dates in the region.[226] Media outlets informed that ticketless fans came together outside their respective venues in multiple cities to hear the band perform, including 34,000 inMunich.[g] They boosted local economies as well,[235] drawing comparisons to football tournaments like theChampions League.[236] Onmusic charts, theirdiscography enjoyed a resurgence in sales andstreams.[237] To assistnon-profit organisations, Coldplay teamed up withGlobal Citizen and the Love Button Global Movement, recruiting new volunteers at every tour stop.[238]
The band performed covers, received guests, invited fans and improvised songs specifically for the occasion on numerous dates, skipping to the rest of the show otherwise.
