Music of the Spheres World Tour

Sign in to edit

The Music of the Spheres World Tour is the eighth concert tour by Coldplay, in support of their ninth studio album, Music of the Spheres, which was released on 15 October 2021. The tour began on 18 March 2022, in San José, Costa Rica, and will conclude on 19 July 2023 in Amsterdam, Netherlands. The tour marks the band's return after the COVID-19 pandemic.[1]

Sustainability plan[]

Alongside the announcement, the band released a detailed plan outlining how they could have the least possible impact on the environment, resulting in 50% less carbon dioxide generated than during the A Head Full of Dreams Tour. Coldplay and a number of leading environmental experts worked on the plan for over two years, and it includes a number of innovative sustainability strategies. For example, the band has collaborated with BMW to develop the first "mobile, rechargeable show battery" to power each concert on the tour, and the stage will be constructed from "a combination of lightweight, low-carbon, and re-usable materials (including bamboo and recycled steel) that can be properly reused or recycled at the end of the tour." In addition, they have pledged to plant one tree for every ticket sold.[2]

The tour, like the Mylo Xyloto Tour and the A Head Full of Dreams Tour, will include extensive pyrotechnic and confetti visuals, as well as a third generation of Xylobands for audience members to wear. However, according to Coldplay's sustainability plan, these features will be adapted in such a way that their inclusion in each show on the tour will be more considerate towards the environment: the band have stated that they are investing in "a new generation of sustainable pyrotechnics that have less explosive charge and new formulas that greatly reduce or eliminate harmful chemicals", that "confetti used during the show will be 100% biodegradable and will require significantly less compressed gas for ignition than on previous tours", and that the LED wristbands will be made from 100% compostable, plant-based materials".[3]
