Coldplay concert chronology

The Music of the Spheres World Tour is the ongoing eighth concert tour currently being undertaken by British rock band Coldplay. It was announced on 14 October 2021 in support of their ninth studio album Music of the Spheres and marked a return to live performing after the COVID-19 pandemic. The band had not toured for their previous record, Everyday Life (2019), putting shows on hold until they could work out how to ensure it would be environmentally friendly. According to a plan they developed for over two years, emissions are meant to be reduced by 50% compared to A Head Full of Dreams Tour (2016–17).

Similar to the Mylo Xyloto Tour (2011–12), the concert run features extensive use of pyrotechnic and confetti visuals. However, they were adapted to reduce emissions: the former has less explosive charge and uses new formulas to reduce harmful chemicals, while the latter is 100% biodegradable and require less compressed gas for ignition. Meanwhile, Xylobands were replaced by PixMob wristbands made from plant-based materials.[2] Other efforts include the first ever mobile rechargeable show battery (developed with BMW) and a mobile application to interact with fans and help them to take environmentally conscious travel options.

Coldplay also partnered with One Tree Planted, ClientEarth, the Grantham Institute and numerous other organizations to ensure their endeavour's success. Additionally, the band pledged to plant a tree for every ticket sold through a reforestation agreement. They broke many records in Latin America and Europe as sales began, moving over one million tickets in both continents. The tour started in Costa Rica's Estadio Nacional on 18 March 2022 and was met with widespread acclaim from music critics, who praised their stage presence and joyful performance, concluding the shows were "triumphant", "immersive" and "intimate".

Development

Background

After releasing their eighth album Everyday Life (2019), Coldplay stated they would not be touring until they could ensure their concert runs are environmentally friendly,[3] which led the record to be promoted with small shows for charity and a special performance at the Amman Citadel in Jordan, broadcast by YouTube.[4] On 14 October 2021, a day before the release of Music of the Spheres, the band posted on social media they would be returning to live shows after the COVID-19 pandemic.[5] The announcement was accompanied by a detailed 12 steps plan, which was developed for two years with leading environmental experts and set out how Coldplay would reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 50% compared to A Head Full of Dreams Tour.[6] To celebrate the album's release, they performed a one-off concert to inaugurate Climate Pledge Arena on 22 October 2021.[7] The show was followed by an appearance at Expo 2020's Programme for People and Planet.[8] Similarly, the tour started in Costa Rica due to the country's renewable-energy-sourced power grid.[9]

Sustainability

Coldplay's stage was adapted to require less energy to function.

A team of sustainability experts was commissioned to investigate Coldplay's carbon footprint and study how to reduce it.[10] Along with BMW, the band also developed the first ever mobile rechargeable show battery,[11] which was made from recyclable BMW i3 batteries and powered concerts by using renewable resources such as hydrotreated vegetable oil, solar power and kinetic energy.[12] Unavoidable emissions were offset according to Oxford's principles.[13] They claimed a tree would be planted for every ticket sold through a global reforestation agreement with One Tree Planted as well.[14] For transportation, the tour was routed to reduce air travel, band members mostly used commercial flights, a surcharge to utilize Sustainable Aviation Fuel from Neste was paid whenever possible and ground freight was done with electric vehicles or biofuel.[15] The stage was built using lightweight, re-usable materials (such as recycled steel) and upgraded to incorporate low-energy LED displays, lasers and lighting set-ups, along with a PA system that consumed 50% less power, thus reducing environmental noise outside the venues.[16] Additionally, they used wind-turbine technology on delay towers and solar blankets on unused seats.[17]

For special effects, Coldplay used biodegradable confetti adapted to require less compressed gas for ignition, while pyrotechnics had new formulas to reduce or eliminate harmful chemicals and mitigate the explosive charge.[16] The PixMob wristbands worn by the audience were made from 100% plant-based materials and the band pledged to decrease their production by collecting, sterilising and recharging them after every show.[16] To minimize food waste, they had crew catering menus that offered plant-based and meat-free options as the standard, sourced products from suppliers adept to regenerative agriculture techniques, supported the development of synthetic, lab-grown cultured meals, donated surplus to local food banks and composted organic waste such as vegetable peelings and scraps.[16] The band also worked with venues to establish recycling programs, replace single-use water bottles with alternatives such as the Ball aluminium cups, include refill stations, introduce aerated taps, lower flushing toilets and reduce water pressure.[16]

Fans and accessibility

Coldplay partnered with SAP to develop a free mobile application for the tour, which calculated the total carbon footprint generated by concert goers and encouraged them to take environmentally friendly travel options.[18] Fans who committed to the effort were given a discount code on their merchandise store.[18] Partners and vendors were carefully selected to provide high quality products made from natural fibres and re-usable elements, which were then packaged in recycled paper, card or compostable bags.[16] Additionally, the band incorporated kinetic floors and stationary bicycles in venues to power the C-stage and further interact with attendees.[19] They provided bass-delivering vests from SubPac and two sign language interpreters for concert goers with hearing loss as well,[20] while guests who are blind or have low vision were offered a designated platform and touch tours before each show.[21] In May 2022, the band announced Infinity Tickets, a limited set of $20 admissions for fans who could not afford standard prices.[b]

Partnerships

In May 2022, The Times revealed Coldplay donated over £2.1 million to environmental causes through J Van Mars Foundation during the previous year.[23] Aside from teaming up with One Tree Planted, the band continued their partnership with ClientEarth, to which they have been patrons since 2011.[24] Support to The Ocean Cleanup was declared as well, as they sponsored two watercrafts to collect plastic from polluted rivers before it reaches the sea in Malaysia.[25] Other organizations endorsed by Coldplay include Global Citizen,[26] The Food Forest Project,[27] Sea Shepherd UK,[28] Project Seagrass,[29] Seafields,[30] My Trees Trust,[31] Farm Under The Radar,[32] Project Quercus,[33] Sustainable Food Trust,[33] Global Tech Advocates,[34] Knowledge Pele,[35] Climeworks,[36] Cleaner Seas Group,[37] Conservation Collective and the Devon Environment Foundation,[38] which have all assisted them to reach the tour's goal. Additionally, Imperial College London's Grantham Institute helped the band to study and publish their progress.[39] In July 2022, DHL announced they would become Coldplay's freight partner due to the company's extensive "expertise and investment in sustainable logistics" and transport solutions.[40]

Commercial performance

Pitchfork named the Music of the Spheres World Tour one of the most anticipated concert runs of 2022.[41] Sales for the European leg were opened on 22 October 2021, with Coldplay selling over one million tickets throughout the day in the region according to Billboard.[42] Due to high demand, they added a fifth and a sixth date at Wembley Stadium.[43] Four days later, extra shows were announced for King Baudouin Stadium and Stade de France, with Fnac reporting the band sold over 200,000 tickets in record time in the latter venue.[44] General sales for Argentina opened on 9 December 2021, they further added three performances at Estadio River Plate in the following hours to support the demand, which included selling over 200,000 tickets in less than 17 hours.[45] On the next day, media outlets across the country reported all shows were officially sold out.[46] Coldplay later scheduled six more dates at the venue, which also went sold out.[47] On 22 August 2022, it was reported the tour already had sold over four million tickets around the world.[48]

According to Manchester Evening News, over 400,000 people attempted to purchase tickets for their shows at Etihad Stadium.[49] Similarly, more than 312,000 buyers were waiting in line for Principality Stadium admissions.[50] The extremely high demand from both venues caused the British Ticketmaster website to crash.[50] Coldplay later announced additional performances for both places.[49] Sales at Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys were the fastest in Spain's history.[51] A presale held during the previous day saw 80,000 customers trying to enter Spanish Ticketmaster's website at the same time, leading to another crash.[51] Over 700,000 people attempted to buy admissions for the Johan Cruyff Arena shows, prompting a fourth date to be added.[52] Parlophone later reported the band sold 1.4 million tickets in a single day for their second European leg, while total numbers surpassed 5.4 million.[53] In December 2022, Billboard's year-end boxscore charts attested that despite reporting data from only 40 out of 64 concerts performed, Coldplay achieved the most successful tour of the year by a group, ranking at fifth place overall.[54]

North America

The tour was met with widespread acclaim from music critics. Andrew Chamings from the San Francisco Chronicle affirmed despite his "cynicism, Coldplay's show was a joyous, bright, cathartic post-pandemic triumph".[65] Writing for Houston Press, Marco Torres said the concert "felt like a beautiful dream, with balloons flying around, confetti bursting from air cannons and lasers shooting from the stage through the smoke" as the band played their hits, concluding it was one of the best live music performances he had ever experienced.[66] Similarly, Mac Engel from Fort Worth Star-Telegram commented "Martin showed all of the skills that make him one of the top pop performers of his generation" by making Cotton Bowl "feel intimate with a powerful set".[67]

NJ.com's Katie Kausch stated the MetLife Stadium shows were "pure fun" and the special effects were not really necessary, given how the songs "are good enough to stand on their own", but "confetti and fireworks are fun, so why not use them?".[68] In a review for Chicago Sun-Times, Selena Fragassi wrote the band's "powerful mix of art and science set the bar for what arena tours of the future could – and should – look like".[69] Christopher A. Daniel from The Atlanta Journal-Constitution affirmed their melodic songs and ability to please a crowd will sustain them as a "must-see legendary act".[70] Writing for Tampa Bay Times, Carly Thompson praised Coldplay's stage presence and said the band "delivered what many seem to be looking for these days: an experience".[71]

Europe

Regioactive's Torsten Reitz said they were "full of energy and much more powerful than on record" in Frankfurt, mastering both "driving, pulsating beats" and "quiet moments" while proving "why they rightly belong to the biggest live bands of today".[72] Writing for Virgin Radio about their Stade de France performances, Marine Pineau praised the band's sense of showmanship and stated they "lived up to [their] reputation" as a live act by "offering one of the most beautiful concerts of the year" while also "changing the rules of the game" with their sustainability efforts.[73] In his five-star review for The Guardian, Alexis Petridis commented the tour's Wembley Stadium run was "a genuinely immersive experience", adding its namesake album gained depth with Coldplay's inventive approach.[58] Kate Solomon from The Times called it a "triumphant homecoming", as the band are "tight and lithe all at once" with "guitars slaloming around Martin's thundering piano and keening falsetto", rating the performances with 4/5 stars.[64] The Telegraph's Neil McCormick affirmed they are "modern masters of stadium entertainment", with their ability "to transmit joy through the power of song" being "the most special effect of all".[63] Similarly, Hannah Mylrea wrote in her five-star review for NME that Coldplay managed to offer a "masterclass in how a massive pop show can be done" while maintaining things "intimate and political".[60]

Rock in Rio

Felipe Branco Cruz from Veja stated the band "reinvented the concept of arena rock" with their performance at Rock in Rio festival, turning fans into the show's protagonists instead of mere spectators and consequently carrying on the legacy of spectacles "which transcend music" that was established by groups such as Pink Floyd, Queen and U2.[74] Writing for UOL, Yolanda Reis commented it is undeniable they are "true showmen", adding the night was "unique and unforgettable".[75] Folha de São Paulo's Carlos Albuquerque affirmed Coldplay exhibited "nearly two hours of delicious escapism" and effortlessly took advantage of everything at their disposal on stage.[76] Ana Raquel Lelles praised them for keeping the audience excited with a "masterful" repertory despite the heavy rain in her review for Estado de Minas.[77] Meanwhile, Julio Maria from Estadão said the band are in a "higher level of spectacle" and delivered the festival's greatest performance, highlighting "Paradise" as "the first great catharsis" in a curve which "continued to climb" throughout the show.[78]

Latin America

Writing for El Comercio, Juan Carlos Fangacio Arakaki mentioned Coldplay were "impeccable" and succeeded in delivering a complete and diverse set list in a show which "never let down".[79] CNN Chile's Pablo Figueroa stated the band showcased "confidence, strength and respect for their audience" and were "protagonists in one of the most emotional musical moments" of the country since the transition to democracy.[80] Marcelo Fernández Bitar from Clarín said the secret behind their demand is Martin's charisma, his bandmates' solidity and how they established a connection with the public, concluding the performance reaffirmed the passion evoked by the band's songs.[81] Similarly, an editorial published by Infobae praised Coldplay for being "versatile" and "synchronized" in a concert that ranged from "the most subtle" to "the most grand".[82] In his review for La Nación, Mauro Apicella affirmed they are "in the vanguard of stadium technology" and despite criticism, are a band with songs that "became classics".[83]

Live broadcast

In September 2022, the band announced they would be launching a global broadcast of their 28 October show at Estadio River Plate in partnership with Trafalgar Releasing, which was responsible for premiering Coldplay: A Head Full of Dreams in 2018.[107] The event was directed by Paul Dugdale and repeat screenings were made available on the following day, becoming the first ever worldwide screening to be broadcast from Latin America.[107] Boxoffice Pro later reported the concert was held in cinemas from 81 countries, the most in history for a live theatrical release.[108] It also grossed $8.4 million worldwide,[109] ranking at number-one in the box office charts of Argentina, Chile, Mexico and the Netherlands;[108] number two in Brazil;[110] number three in the United Kingdom;[111] number six in Italy;[112] and number 10 in Australia.[113] If non-movies were included, the broadcast would have reached at number nine in the United States.[114] During an interview for IQ, Trafalgar Releasing CEO Marc Allenby said the company "look forward to continuing [their] partnership with the Coldplay team in 2023", prompting rumours that more screenings would be held during the tour.[109]

Impact

According to Le Soir, the band proposed an "ecological plan that is unprecedented" in stadium tour levels.[115] Similarly, Impact credited Coldplay with "redefining the rulebook" for eco-friendly touring, as their concert run "put environmental issues and climate change at the helm of international music news".[116] Live Nation's sustainability director Lucy August-Perna commented their ideas helped to further build on the framework the company had been developing during the previous five years,[117] adding she is "working with Coldplay to adopt their plans" and "standardize what they learn and best practices to provide sustainable touring options" for more people.[117] Vogue Scandinavia affirmed the concert run "sets the bar for how every artist, and fans, can contribute to reducing their CO2 emissions", given its "transparency on the reality that no tour will be carbon negative in 2022", while also putting "efforts into creating the most sustainable show on the market", which "speaks louder than words".[118] Uproxx and Billboard have noticed the band's impact on Billie Eilish's Happier Than Ever, The World Tour and Shawn Mendes' Wonder: The World Tour, respectively.[119]

Their work with John Wiseman (from Worldwide Sales) and Frederic Opsomer (from PRG Projects) for the LED elements used in the stage resulted in the creation of products "that never existed before", such as inflatable three-dimensional orbs which "dramatically reduced the necessary space to store and transport" regular models.[120] Opsomer also stated the custom technology developed for the tour will become "commonplace in a few years" in the live entertainment industry and that Coldplay were "valuable partners in the process", as they "took the chance and had the vision, spent the money and did it right".[120] The band's unusually long stay in Mexico led multiple internet memes to go viral on social media, they consisted of Coldplay members taking part in the country's everyday life practices.[121] All three shows held in Berlin caused microearthquakes during the performance of "A Sky Full of Stars", with the highest magnitude (1.5) being registered on 12 July 2022.[122] Songs from their discography experienced a chart resurgence on streaming platforms as well, consequently debuting and reaching new peaks on Billboard Global 200.[123] The government of Argentina created a separate US dollar exchange rate for live events which became known as the "Coldplay dollar", due to the band's 10 shows at Estadio River Plate.[124]

On the other hand, a spokesperson for the European Federation for Transport and Environment criticized their collaboration with Neste, claiming the company was "cynically using Coldplay to greenwash its reputation" and the partnership should be discontinued.[125] Eoin Dubsky from SumOfUs additionally condemned the association with BMW.[125] The band published a statement on their official website on the same day, reiterating that "When we announced this tour, we said that we would try our best to make it as sustainable and low carbon-impact as possible, but that it would be a work in progress. That remains true. We don't claim to have got it all right yet".[126] Coldplay also mentioned BMW were the ones to offer help after contacting various electric car manufacturers to supply rechargeable batteries, adding they have "no connection to or influence on their corporate policies".[126] Neste separately reported extensive investigations were conducted regarding their palm oil suppliers allegedly being linked to deforestation, but no evidence to support said violations were found, concluding "conventional palm oil or other virgin vegetable oils were not used as raw materials" for the aviation biofuels supplied to the band.[127]
