Coldplay has just unleashed the most ambitious tour announcement of their career: the “Music of the Spheres: Infinity Edition” world tour, a groundbreaking 50-date run set to launch in April 2026 and stretch into 2027, taking the band to unprecedented corners of the globe with a revolutionary city lineup never seen in rock history.
After months of feverish speculation following cryptic social-media teasers and a surprise “infinity symbol” projection across major landmarks, the band confirmed the full schedule today. Chris Martin described the tour as “our boldest step yet—playing places we’ve dreamed of for years, in ways we’ve never done before.”
What sets this tour apart is its truly global reach and focus on underrepresented markets. Beyond the usual stadium giants, Coldplay will headline shows in cities that have rarely—if ever—hosted a production of this scale:
– Africa: Johannesburg (FNB Stadium), Cape Town (DHL Stadium), Lagos (Teslim Balogun Stadium), Nairobi (Nyayo National Stadium), Accra (Accra Sports Stadium)
– South Asia: Mumbai (DY Patil Stadium), Dhaka (Bangabandhu National Stadium), Colombo (R. Premadasa Stadium), Karachi (National Stadium)
– Southeast Asia: Jakarta (Gelora Bung Karno), Manila (Philippine Arena), Hanoi (My Dinh National Stadium), Ho Chi Minh City (Thong Nhat Stadium)
– Latin America: Bogotá (El Campín), Lima (Estadio Monumental), Santiago (Estadio Nacional), Asunción (Defensores del Chaco)
– Middle East: Dubai (Dubai Autodrome), Riyadh (Kingdom Arena), Abu Dhabi (Etihad Arena)
– Traditional strongholds: Multiple nights in London (Wembley), Paris (Stade de France), São Paulo (Morumbi), Mexico City (Estadio GNP Seguros), Sydney (Accor Stadium), Tokyo (Ajinomoto Stadium)
The tour builds on the eco-conscious blueprint of the original Music of the Spheres World Tour, with even greater sustainability commitments: 100% renewable energy at every venue where possible, expanded kinetic dance floors, tree-planting tied to every ticket sold, and a pledge to make the entire run carbon-positive.
Setlists promise to evolve night to night, blending classics (“Viva La Vida,” “Fix You,” “Yellow”) with deep cuts, fan-voted rarities, and brand-new songs from an upcoming album teased for early 2026. Expect larger-scale immersive elements: expanded LED wristbands creating continent-sized light shows, augmented-reality integrations via the Coldplay app, and surprise guest appearances from artists across genres.
Jonny Buckland summed it up: “We’ve spent years learning how to make stadiums feel intimate. Now we want to make the whole planet feel connected—one show, one city, one heartbeat at a time.”
Ticket presales for Infinity Members and verified partners begin next week, with general onsale following. VIP packages include carbon-offset travel credits, exclusive merch drops, pre-show soundchecks, and opportunities to join Coldplay’s global sustainability workshops.
The announcement has already shattered records for online engagement, with fans from Lagos to Lima sharing emotional stories of how Coldplay’s music reached them in places the band had never played before. This isn’t just a tour—it’s a declaration that live music can be borderless, sustainable, and transformative on a scale never attempted.
Full dates, venues, and ticket details drop at coldplay.com tomorrow. History isn’t just being made—it’s being rewritten, one revolutionary city at a time.
