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, paused at London's Wembley Stadium on 12 September 2025 and the band expect to resume in 2027. It marked their return to live performances following the COVID-19 pandemic, with 225 dates in 80 cities across 43 countries. They had not toured Everyday Life (2019) because of environmental concerns. A team of experts measured their CO₂ emissions and devised strategies to reduce them over the following 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 (2011–2012), production elements involved pyrotechnics, confetti and lasers. However, adaptations were done to cut their carbon footprint. Other ideas included crafting the first rechargeable mobile 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 $1.52 billion in revenue from 13.1 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.

Following the release of Coldplay's eighth studio album, Everyday Life (2019), lead singer and pianist Chris Martin told BBC News that the band would not tour until they could make shows more sustainable. The record was promoted through intimate charity events and a performance broadcast from the Amman Citadel via YouTube. A team of sustainability experts was commissioned to investigate their carbon footprint and reduce it over the next two years. On 14 October 2021, a day before Music of the Spheres came out, the group announced the first leg of the tour, officially marking their return to live performances after the COVID-19 pandemic. The statement was accompanied by a website that explained how Coldplay would tackle environmental issues across 12 fields, cutting emissions by half relative to the Head Full of Dreams Tour (2016–2017). Performances carried out before the trek included the inauguration of Climate Pledge Arena, as well as their Expo 2020 debut. San José was the first stop due to renewable energy in Costa Rica.

The stage was developed in a collaboration between production designer Misty Buckley and lighting designer Sooner Routhier, with Coldplay giving their own input in every aspect of the project. They were inspired by the musica universalis philosophy of ancient Greece, unfolding spherical patterns out from the stage in numerous directions. Other running concepts included "alien music festivals in space, love, people and togetherness". After turning her sketches into CAD drawings, Buckley made their layouts functional and decorated them with symbols from the tour's namesake album. The final design showed two 14-metre circular screens, four inflatable LED spheres and the Moonrise, an arched video wall spanning 44 metres wide and 6 metres high. ROE Visual and PRG Projects supplied the products.

For the ground structure, TAIT Towers built three round stages linked by runways. They were made of lightweight, reusable materials such as recycled steel, while the modular framework allowed Coldplay to make seamless transitions between areas and provide extra vantage points to watch them perform. Along with BMW, the band set up the first rechargeable mobile show battery in the world. It was powered by wind turbines installed on delay towers, solar blankets laid on empty seats and hydrotreated vegetable oil. Two kinetic floors and at least 15 stationary bicycles were arranged to interact with the public as well.

Maintaining their sustainability plans, Coldplay upgraded equipment to incorporate low-energy displays, lasers and lighting sets. Routhier acquired about 600 colour fixtures for the show through Upstaging, favouring IP65-rated products due to their weather resistance. Except for the spotlight system, all the gear was LED-based. Its pieces were suspended from pylons across the venue and fixed in circular configurations, reinforcing patterns with flowing movements. The band wanted to induce the feeling of moving through the seven chakras, leading Routhier to vaguely abide by their colours. In terms of video production, the stage hardware featured 26 cameras. Five were operated automatically and eight were placed near musical instruments. The digital media team created real-time visuals and effects using Notch. To broadcast footage, the camera crew obtained eight Disguise GX 2C servers and a Grass Valley Karrera 4 M/E switcher, while their Ereca Stage Racer 2 units granted control over audio and video signals on a single fiber.

Front of house duties were overseen by Dan Green and Tony Smith, who worked with Coldplay on their previous tour. They renewed the sound system and split the central control into unique racks for each band member, improving their flexibility and integration across departments. Green scaled down his outboard gear as well, extensively relying on effect plugins. The hangs, ground subs, front fills and delays were all supplied by d&b audiotechnik, totaling more than 200 speakers and 110 amplifiers. Products from both the J and SL series were used on tour, reducing power consumption and noise pollution. For control, the sound team had a DiGiCo SD7 console and a Quantum engine. In-ear monitors were primarily Wisycom MTK952 units, as their wide frequency range alleviated the need to carry multiple sets. Lithium batteries on radio communication devices such as wireless microphones and walkie-talkies were replaced by NiMH packages. On special effects, pyrotechnics adopted new formulas to curtail harmful chemicals; balloons were sourced from recyclable material; and confetti cannons adjusted to require less compressed gas for ignition, releasing biodegradable paper. Coldplay also moved from Xylobands to PixMob wristbands made of sugarcane, minimising production by collecting, sterilising and refurbishing them. Lastly, the show had an oversized disco ball with lasers inside.
