The Music of the Spheres World Tour is the ongoing eighth concert tour undertaken by British rock band Coldplay. Announced on 14 October 2021, it is being staged in support of their ninth studio album, Music of the Spheres, marking their return to live performances after the COVID-19 pandemic. The band had not toured for their previous record, Everyday Life (2019), because they wanted to launch an environmentally friendly strategy to travel. According to the plans they developed over the previous two years with specialists, CO2 emissions will be reduced by 50% in comparison to the Head Full of Dreams Tour (2016–17).
Similar to the Mylo Xyloto Tour (2011–12), the concerts make extensive use of pyrotechnics and confetti. However, they were adapted to minimise the group's carbon footprint. Other ideas involved creating the first mobile rechargeable show battery in the world with BMW and planting a tree for every ticket sold. The tour began at Estadio Nacional de Costa Rica on 18 March 2022 and is scheduled to end at New Zealand's Eden Park on 16 November 2024. Coldplay received widespread acclaim from music critics, who praised the band for their musicianship, stage presence, joyfulness, and production value.
With a global cultural impact, the Music of the Spheres World Tour surpassed $810.9 million in revenue from 7.66 million tickets across 132 dates, making it the third-highest-grossing and second-most attended tour of all time. The band also broke several records at the venues they visited. To celebrate the performances, Music of the Spheres: Live at River Plate (2023) was broadcast in cinemas around the world. Emissions were cut by 47% in the concert run's first year, leading Time to rank Coldplay among the most influential climate action leaders on the planet. Similarly, Pollstar declared that they ushered into "a new era of sustainable touring".
