The Music of the Spheres World Tour is the ongoing eighth concert tour by British rock band Coldplay, marking a significant chapter in their career as they promote their ninth and tenth studio albums, Music of the Spheres (2021) and Moon Music (2024), respectively.
The tour began on March 18, 2022, at the Estadio Nacional de Costa Rica in San José, and it is slated to conclude on September 8, 2025, at London’s iconic Wembley Stadium.
This tour also represents the band’s highly anticipated return to live performances following the COVID-19 pandemic, as they had not toured their previous album, Everyday Life (2019), due to environmental concerns.
Coldplay initially announced the tour on October 14, 2021, just a day before the release of Music of the Spheres. The band had spent two years devising innovative strategies to mitigate the environmental impact of their live performances, aiming to reduce CO2 emissions by 50% compared to their previous Head Full of Dreams Tour (2016–17). This commitment to sustainability set the tone for the entire tour, making it not only a musical journey but also an environmental milestone. Coldplay’s efforts included collaborating with BMW to develop the world’s first mobile rechargeable show battery, and for each ticket sold, the band planted a tree. These initiatives resulted in a 59% reduction in emissions during the first two years of the tour, earning the band recognition from Time magazine as one of the world’s most influential climate action leaders. Pollstar also hailed them for ushering in “a new era of sustainable touring.”
Musically and visually, the Music of the Spheres World Tour combines elements from past Coldplay tours while embracing the unique themes and aesthetics of their latest albums. Like the Mylo Xyloto Tour (2011–12), the concerts feature an abundance of pyrotechnics and confetti. However, these displays have been specifically adapted to minimize environmental impact. The tour’s production also utilizes the latest technology to ensure sustainability without compromising the spectacular experience that Coldplay is known for. Fans can expect a dazzling display of light, color, and sound that brings their music to life in unforgettable ways.
The Music of the Spheres World Tour has already made a significant impact both culturally and financially. It has grossed $1.14 billion in revenue, making it the second-highest-grossing tour of all time, and has sold over 10.3 million tickets across 175 dates. The tour is now the most attended in history. Coldplay also broke numerous records at the venues they visited, further cementing their place in music history. Critics have praised the band for their stage presence, musicianship, versatility, and the sheer joy they bring to their performances. The production value, described as visually stunning, also earned significant praise, with many pointing to Coldplay’s ability to balance large-scale spectacle with personal connection to their audience.
In 2023, the band released Music of the Spheres: Live at River Plate, a concert film that showcased their performances in Buenos Aires, offering fans a cinematic experience of the tour.
The film captures the energy, excitement, and emotional depth of the live shows, bringing Coldplay’s global success to the big screen.
With a message of both musical excellence and environmental consciousness, the Music of the Spheres World Tour is not only a defining moment in Coldplay’s career but also a pioneering effort in sustainable touring.
