Coldplay have hinted at the next leg of their record-breaking ‘Music Of The Spheres’ tour, set to continue in 2027.
The global trek, which began in March 2022, became the highest-grossing rock tour ever, earning over USD 1 billion and marking only the second tour in history to reach that milestone.
During the penultimate show of their 10-night Wembley residency on September 6, Chris Martin told fans, “This tour has 138 more shows to go.” He added that Coldplay will take a break before announcing the 2027 dates and teased a “really special” project, potentially linked to their final two studio albums.
Martin reaffirmed the band’s plan to release 12 albums, with 2024’s ‘Moon Music’ marking their 10th. Album 11, he said, will be a musical, while the final album, simply titled ‘Coldplay’, is expected slightly later than planned. Despite this, Martin insisted that the band is not retiring from touring or releasing other material.
Bassist Guy Berryman urged fans to take Martin’s comments with “a pinch of salt,” emphasizing that the group is still years from any kind of retirement.
The London residency has been a spectacle, featuring tributes to Oasis, a fan proposal onstage, reunions with Simon Pegg and a performance of Clocks with Tim Wheeler from Ash. Some shows were rescheduled due to industrial action.
In a nod to emerging talent, Coldplay are donating 10 per cent of proceeds from their UK dates to the Music Venue Trust, supporting grassroots venues. Martin stressed the importance of giving younger artists opportunities, especially post-Brexit.
