Coldplay has officially revealed plans for a sweeping 2026 world tour that will see the Grammy-winning British rock band bring their signature anthemic sound and dazzling live performances to major cities and iconic stadiums around the globe. While fans have long awaited details following the band’s extended Music of the Spheres touring cycle, the newly announced itinerary spans multiple continents with a mix of confirmed dates, venues and exciting new stops designed to celebrate their legacy and connect with audiences worldwide.
The confirmed tour schedule kicks off in North America with a series of stadium shows that include April 10 in New York City at Madison Square Garden, April 15 in Toronto at Scotiabank Arena, April 20 in Chicago at United Center, April 25 in Los Angeles at the Staples Center, and April 30 in Vancouver at Rogers Arena. These performances mark the band’s first major North American headline run in several years and are expected to feature both classic hits and newer material woven into immersive setlists.
Following the North American leg, Coldplay heads to Europe in May with shows lined up across some of the continent’s most legendary venues: May 10 at Wembley Stadium in London (UK), May 15 at Stade de France in Paris (France), May 20 in Berlin’s Olympiastadion (Germany), May 25 at Wanda Metropolitano in Madrid (Spain), and May 30 at Stadio Olimpico in Rome (Italy). These dates reaffirm the band’s enormous global appeal and promise electrifying live performances in front of tens of thousands of fans.
The band’s global journey continues in Asia with summer dates that include June 10 at Tokyo Dome (Japan), June 15 at Seoul Olympic Stadium (South Korea), June 20 at National Stadium (Singapore), and June 25 at Bird’s Nest Stadium (Beijing, China). After Asia, Coldplay brings the tour to Australia with July concerts at ANZ Stadium in Sydney, Marvel Stadium in Melbourne, and The Gabba in Brisbane.
In a thrilling development for African fans, Coldplay’s 2026 tour also includes stops in Cape Town Stadium (Cape Town, South Africa) on August 1 and Teslim Balogun Stadium (Lagos, Nigeria) on August 5 — a monumental moment for live music on the continent and a first-time tour stop in West Africa.
The South American leg follows in September with shows at iconic venues like Allianz Parque in São Paulo (Brazil) on September 10, River Plate Stadium in Buenos Aires (Argentina) on September 15, and Estadio Nacional in Santiago (Chile) on September 20. These dates are poised to deliver emotionally charged performances that blend Coldplay’s rich back catalog with cutting-edge stage production and fan-interactive experiences.
In addition to the music, the 2026 tour strategy reportedly emphasizes sustainability — continuing Coldplay’s commitment to eco-friendly concerts with renewable energy sources, interactive lighting effects, and initiatives aimed at reducing carbon footprints at every venue.
Tickets for many of the major shows are expected to sell out quickly once sales open, with details on pricing and presale opportunities being rolled out in the coming weeks. With its unprecedented worldwide scope and fan anticipation higher than ever, Coldplay’s 2026 world tour is shaping up to be one of the most talked-about musical events of the year.
