Coldplay has officially announced their 2026 Farewell World Tour, titled “One Last Ride.” After nearly three decades of unforgettable music, the band is preparing to give fans across the globe one final journey together.
The tour will begin on March 14, 2026, at Wembley Stadium in London, a fitting opening in the city where Coldplay’s story first began. From there, the band will move through Europe, with shows at the Stade de France in Paris on March 20, the Olympiastadion in Berlin on April 2, and the San Siro Stadium in Milan on April 10.
By late April, the tour will reach Spain, with a highly anticipated stop at the Santiago Bernabéu in Madrid on April 25. Coldplay will then cross the Atlantic for a North American leg, starting at MetLife Stadium in New York on May 8, followed by Soldier Field in Chicago on May 15, and the Rose Bowl in Los Angeles on May 22.
Fans in Canada won’t be left out, as the band is set to perform at the Rogers Centre in Toronto on June 5. Afterward, Coldplay will head south to South America, with shows at Rio de Janeiro’s Maracanã Stadium on June 20 and São Paulo’s Allianz Parque on June 27.
The tour continues into the Southern Hemisphere in July, when Coldplay arrives in Australia and New Zealand. They will perform at ANZ Stadium in Sydney on July 10 and then at Eden Park in Auckland on July 17.
Asia will also host part of the farewell journey, with a stop at the Tokyo Dome in Japan on August 2 and a performance at the Olympic Stadium in Seoul, South Korea, on August 9. Finally, Coldplay will close out their world tour in Africa, with a powerful finale at the FNB Stadium in Johannesburg, South Africa, on August 23.
Tickets are expected to sell out within hours of release, as Coldplay’s concerts have long been famous for their immersive light shows, confetti bursts, and intimate moments shared with audiences of all ages. Fans know this may be their last chance to be part of such a spectacular experience.
Frontman Chris Martin reflected on the announcement, saying: “This tour is our way of saying thank you. We never imagined the world would embrace our music the way it has, and we want to make this farewell as special as possible.” His words struck a chord with longtime listeners who have grown up with the band’s music.
Across social media, fans have been sharing memories of how songs like Fix You, Clocks, and Paradise became the soundtrack to their lives. The announcement of “One Last Ride” has sparked a wave of nostalgia and excitement, as people prepare for what promises to be a once-in-a-lifetime event.
Coldplay has not ruled out creating new music after the tour, but this marks the end of their global touring era. For many, that makes each announced stop more than just another concert—it’s a chance to witness the closing of a remarkable story.
As the countdown begins, the world prepares to celebrate a band that has transcended genres, borders, and generations. Coldplay’s “One Last Ride” will not only be a farewell but also a celebration of the unity, joy, and hope their music has given to millions.
