The band kicked off the 2025 leg of its massive Music of the Spheres Tour over the weekend
This past weekend, Coldplay launched the 2025 North American leg of their record-breaking Music Of The Spheres World Tour with two sold-out performances at Stanford Stadium. Held on Saturday May 31st and Sunday June 1st, the shows marked a landmark moment for both the band and the region, as the stadium – long renowned for its sporting legacy – opened its doors to live music for the very first time.
The band performed to an elated audience, delivering a set full of songs from their latest global No. 1 album Moon Music, alongside beloved classics including “Yellow”, “Viva La Vida”, “Paradise”, “Fix You”, “The Scientist”, “A Sky Full Of Stars” and many more. The show, renowned for its dazzling production and immersive experience, once again featured Coldplay’s hallmark visuals – LED wristbands, confetti bursts, lasers, and fireworks lighting up the venue in spectacular fashion.
Support for the North American dates came courtesy of Willow and Elyanna, both of whom were met with rapturous reception from the early evening crowds.
Coldplay’s Music Of The Spheres World Tour has now sold over 12 million tickets globally – the most ever for a single tour – firmly establishing it as a cultural and touring phenomenon. Beyond the record-breaking numbers, the band’s commitment to creating a joyful, inclusive, and environmentally responsible live experience for fans continues to set a new touring benchmark across the world.
Last summer, the band issued an update on their sustainability initiatives, revealing that, on a show-by-show comparison, the current tour has so far produced 59% less CO2e emissions than their previous stadium tour in 2016/17, exceeding their original target of a 50% reduction. More than 9 million trees have already been planted around the world (with a further million currently being planted).
