The Music of the Spheres World Tour is the ongoing eighth concert tour undertaken by British rock band Coldplay. It is being staged to promote their ninth and tenth studio albums, Music of the Spheres (2021) and Moon Music (2024), respectively. The tour began at San José's Estadio Nacional de Costa Rica on 18 March 2022 and is scheduled to end at London's Wembley Stadium on 8 September 2025. It marked the band's return to live performances following the COVID-19 pandemic, spanning 225 nights in 80 cities across 43 countries. They had not toured their previous record, Everyday Life (2019), because of environmental concerns. A team of experts was hired to develop new strategies and reduce CO2 emissions over the next two years.
Coldplay announced the first shows on 14 October 2021, a day before Music of the Spheres was released. Similar to the Mylo Xyloto Tour (2011–12), they made extensive use of pyrotechnics, confetti and lasers. However, these elements were adapted to lower carbon footprint. Other ideas included crafting the first mobile rechargeable show battery in the world with BMW and planting a tree for every ticket sold. Emissions fell by 59% in comparison to the group's previous tour, leading Time to rank Coldplay among the most influential climate action leaders. Pollstar stated that they have ushered in "a new era of sustainable touring".
With a global cultural impact, the Music of the Spheres World Tour grossed $1.26 billion in revenue from 11.4 million tickets, becoming the most-attended tour of all time and the first by a band to collect $1 billion. Coldplay also broke numerous venue records during the tour. The shows received widespread acclaim from music critics, who praised the group's stage presence, musicianship, versatility and joyfulness, as well as the show's production value. A concert film, Music of the Spheres: Live at River Plate, was released in cinemas around the world in 2023, featuring their performances in Buenos Aires.
