Coldplay Live Broadcast from Buenos Aires (often referred to as simply Live Broadcast from Buenos Aires) was a worldwide live cinema event developed by Coldplay in partnership with Trafalgar Releasing — who also executive produce alongside CJ 4DPlex — for their eighth concert tour, Music of the Spheres World Tour. With the band performing at the River Plate Stadium in Buenos Aires on 28 October 2022, the concert was broadcast live to over 3.500 cinemas around the world across 81 countries and regions. It was broadcast live to North and Latin America on 28 October, whilst the rest of the world joined the broadcast on 29 October due to local time zones. Repeat screenings of the concert's recording occurred the following day worldwide.[1]
The event was announced on 8 September 2022, with tickets and the full list of local screenings being available on 15 September through an official website. It was directed by BAFTA and DGA Award-winning and Grammy-nominated director Paul Dugdale, a long-time collaborator of the band.[1]
On 20 October, South Korean singer and songwriter Jin, from the South Korean boy band BTS, was announced as a special guest for the broadcast to perform live his collaboration with Coldplay and debut single "The Astronaut" (also released on 28 October) for the first time on stage with the band.[2] It was his last public performance before being assigned to his two-year conscription in South Korea.[3] Additional guest appearances such as American R&B singer-songwriter H.E.R. and Iranian actress Golshifteh Farahani also performed on the songs "Let Somebody Go" and "Baraye", respectively.
The cinema event was the sixth most popular film around the world on its only opening weekend, grossing $8,421,265.[4]
