The Mylo Xyloto Tour was the fifth concert tour undertaken by British rock band Coldplay. It was announced in support of their fifth album, Mylo Xyloto (2011), continuing their expansion from arenas to stadiums following the Viva la Vida Tour (2008–10). The concert run consisted of 76 shows across four continents, starting at Glasgow's SEC Centre on 3 December 2011 and finishing at New York City's Barclays Center on 31 December 2012. A visit to Latin America was originally set for 2013, later being cancelled.
Before the tour, the group embarked on a series of promotional and festival performances, including Austin City Limits, Glastonbury, Lollapalooza, and Rock in Rio. Coldplay held concerts in Cape Town and Johannesburg as well. They became the first musicians to make use of LED wristbands at shows, popularising them in the live music industry. According to Pollstar, the tour grossed over $181.3 million from 2.1 million tickets sold across 75 reported dates.
