COLDPLAY AUSTRALIAN TOUR TICKETS 2024

Australian Tour Announcement!

After bringing their Music Of The Spheres show to Perth, Coldplay will return to Australia and New Zealand in October and November 2024, with shows in Melbourne, Sydney and Auckland.

Now, for the first time since 2016, Coldplay are coming back to Melbourne, Sydney and Auckland with two dates in Melbourne and Sydney – Wednesday, 30 and Thursday, 31 October at Melbourne’s Marvel Stadium, and Wednesday, 6 and Thursday, 7 November at Sydney’s Accor Stadium. On Wednesday, 13 November, they’ll headline Auckland’s Eden Park.

Coldplay Perth 2023

Truly an unforgettable experience Perth was so lucky to get, not once, but twice as the final concert concluded on Sunday, 19 November 2023.

Classic hits from the band’s spectacular 26-year run from The Scientist through to fan fave Viva La Vida soundtrack the evening with enough cadence from frontman Chris Martin to carry the entire venue into the futuristic soundscapes of the spheres.

It’s a testament to the brilliance of what makes Coldplay, Coldplay. Over two decades in, this is the band at their best - hard-hitting, punchy grooves. It’s a pure spectacle of a live performance exemplified by the ebbs and flows of the evening as Hymn For Fhe Weekend fades into the piano ballad of Everglow. Chris flies solo here, almost, as a lucky fan Jasmine accompanies him on stage to get the full Chris Martin experience. “We wanna say thank you because we didn’t expect you to look and sound and feel as good as you did. We think we made the right decision starting in Perth,” Chris chimes.

The journey through The Spheres is a lengthy outing, but there are enough tender moments like the acoustic Sparks, balanced out with the heavy belters and stadium anthems to really keep you on the edge of your seat, and you lose track of time. The lads feel right at home playing venues this size.

Everything is big, bold and colourful. The visuals are truly out of this world. At one point, Chris shuffles through a Tron-like grid as the band shuffles through Midnight. Another highlight is every song is better than the one before. Guitarist Johnny Buckland shines here as the all too familiar build of kaleidoscopic riffs echo, bounce and reverberate.

The crowd joins in to finish off the song, not a dry eye in sight. There’s something so unique and radiant about the Music Of The Spheres tour. From the eco-friendly schemes that power the stadium to the band suddenly wearing giant alien heads singing Something Just Like This.

Seeing a whole stadium filled to the brim with illuminated lights, sharing this special tender moment with what must be the whole of Perth, if not Australia and then some. Truly an unforgettable experience Perth was so lucky to get, not once, but twice as the final concert commences this evening.

Music of The Spheres World Tour

Coldplay announced details of their 2022-2024 world tour back in October of 2021, off the back of the band’s 2021 album titled ‘Music of the Spheres’. The exciting tour will see the band supported by iconic performers, including London Grammar and H.E.R, and begins in March in Costa Rica.

North American dates will then occur across May and June before the band heads to Europe in July. A UK run of shows was supposed to close the tour, including three dates at London’s Wembley Stadium. That was before the tour turned truly global, with Australian and Asian dates announced and a final show scheduled for Kuala Lumpur.

Coldplay’s Asia tour will start off in Tokyo before they visit Taiwan and Jakarta. The band will then come down under for their Australian tour, exclusive to Perth. We’re hoping they announce additional dates for the rest of Australia in the lead up to their concert, but there’s been no word yet. If anything is announced, you can rest assured that we’ll be among the first to let you know!

Who are Coldplay?

Coldplay is a British rock band established in 1996 by lead singer and pianist Chris Martin, as well as lead guitarist Jonny Buckland, at University College London (UCL). After they formed under the name Pectoralz, Guy Berryman joined the group as bassist, and they changed their name to Starfish.

Will Champion later joined as drummer and backing vocalist, completing the line-up. Creative director and former manager Phil Harvey is often referred to as the fifth member by the band.

The band renamed themselves Coldplay in 1998 before recording and releasing three EPs: Safety in 1998, Brothers & Sisters and The Blue Room in 1999. After signing to Parlophone, the Blue Room was their first release with a major record label.

Since then, the band has seen worldwide success both in the studio and on the stage, with many fans calling their live experience breathtaking. Their captivating performances aren’t to be missed – so you won’t want to sleep on getting Coldplay concert tickets when the opportunity arises!

Touring History

Coldplay has completed seven tours over the years. 'A Head Full of Dreams' was their last tour and biggest to date, starting in 2015 and finishing in 2017. This tour marked the band's return to large-scale venues after their brief and intimate “Ghost Stories” tour in 2014.

Similar to the “Mylo Xyloto” Tour, the “A Head Full of Dreams” tour included elaborate laser light and pyrotechnic pyrotechnics, as well as the return of the Xylobands as a prominent aspect of the show's visual design.

The tour had eight legs, totalling 122 shows throughout Latin America, Europe, North America, Oceania, and Asia. The worldwide tour began at the Estadio Ciudad de La Plata in La Plata, Argentina, and ended on November 15, 2017, at the same venue.

The tour is presently the seventh highest-grossing concert tour in history, generating a whopping $523,033,675 in revenue. In November 2018, a live CD, “Live in Buenos Aires”, was released that covered the tour and was recorded during the final event in La Plata. There was also a concert video, ‘Live in Sao Paulo’, that was filmed all over the world.

The Band's Eco-Friendly Measures

Back in 2019, Coldplay announced that they were taking time to consider how they would tour in the future to make it as environmentally friendly as possible.

Coldplay is taking extra measures to ensure they keep their concerts eco-friendly. The band have said they will avoid fossil fuels and use clean energy where possible, will adapt all tour operations to minimise emissions and will select building materials and show effects based on their environmental credentials.

This is a really important step towards making the music industry more planet conscious, which is often overlooked. Whenever we talk about the climate crisis, the music industry is never the focus, because no one takes all the processes and costs that impact the planet into account. Coldplay is changing the way that concerts and world tours are carried out – and we couldn’t be happier!

The band have outlined a full pledge and plan of action on their website.
