While performing their penultimate show at London’s Wembley Stadium in 2025, Coldplay made the stunning announcement that their “Music of the Spheres” tour would be extended through 2027, adding 138 additional performances to reach a symbolic 360 shows worldwide. The extension pushes the tour well beyond previous records set by Ed Sheeran’s Divide Tour and Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour, establishing a new benchmark in live music history.
The tour, which began on March 18, 2022, in San Jose, Costa Rica, was originally scheduled to conclude in September 2025 in London. The announcement during the September 6 concert created a wave of euphoria among fans present at the iconic venue. With this unprecedented extension, Coldplay cements their place in touring history, with the 360-show total creating a perfect numerical alignment with the celestial theme of their “Music of the Spheres” concept—referencing a complete circle’s 360 degrees.
From global inception in Costa Rica to a celestial finale, Coldplay’s 360 shows perfectly mirror the orbital theme of their landmark tour.
While specific cities for the 2027 leg remain unconfirmed, speculation points to performances in major global hubs including New York, London, Paris, Tokyo, and Sydney. Industry observers note that the current tour schedule has featured numerous European dates, suggesting the new shows might focus more on North American and global markets to achieve geographic balance. The tour has already covered five continents and continues to expand its global footprint.
Lead vocalist Chris Martin teased audiences about a “special thing” being developed specifically for the 2027 performances, maintaining creative secrecy while generating anticipation. The band’s productions are renowned for combining eco-conscious staging with immersive visual experiences that transform stadiums with LED lighting and interstellar imagery. The band plans to leverage social media advertising to build anticipation through consistent, eye-catching content leading up to the new dates. The group’s management revealed that extensive sound check procedures have been refined throughout the tour to ensure optimal acoustic experiences in diverse venues.
Ticket sales for the extended tour dates are projected to begin around March 2027, with fans already discussing strategies to secure seats for what will likely be highly competitive ticket releases. The unprecedented scale of the tour has sparked extensive discussion in fan communities and on social media platforms.
The “Music of the Spheres” tour extension represents not only a milestone for Coldplay but also a significant moment in live music history, demonstrating the evolving scale and ambition of global concert tours in the post-pandemic era.
