The announcement, shared across Coldplay’s social channels and official website, has ignited excitement among millions of fans worldwide. This tour comes on the heels of their triumphant 2025 run, which closed with spectacular sold-out shows across Europe, North America, and Asia. Now, 2026 will see Coldplay elevate their artistry to new heights, lighting up stadiums and arenas across the globe.
The band revealed that the 2026 Tour will kick off in March in Buenos Aires, Argentina, setting the tone for an electrifying year.

These early dates promise to bring the signature Coldplay atmosphere—complete with glowing wristbands, immersive visuals, and fan-favorite singalongs.
Europe will welcome Coldplay back in late spring 2026, with massive shows scheduled in Paris, London, Berlin, Rome, and Madrid. Each performance is expected to blend new material with timeless classics, creating an emotional journey that spans the band’s two-decade career. Fans across the continent have already begun preparing, with many dates projected to sell out within hours of ticket release.
Summer 2026 will see Coldplay return to North America, with stops in Los Angeles, New York, Toronto, Chicago, and Miami. These shows will mark some of the band’s biggest productions to date, combining stadium-scale energy with intimate fan connections that Coldplay has mastered over the years.
In a special highlight, Coldplay announced a series of shows in Asia during the fall. Tokyo, Seoul, Singapore, and Bangkok are already confirmed, with more cities expected to be added soon. The band has emphasized their commitment to reaching as many fans as possible, making this one of their most expansive tours to date.
Africa will not be left out, as Coldplay has scheduled performances in Cape Town and Johannesburg, bringing their spectacular tour to the continent once again. For many fans in Africa, this marks a rare and exciting opportunity to experience the band’s live magic without having to travel overseas.
One of the standout elements of this upcoming tour is Coldplay’s continued dedication to sustainable touring practices. Building on previous efforts, the band is expected to introduce even more eco-friendly innovations, from energy-efficient stage setups to fan-driven initiatives that reduce the environmental footprint of each concert.
As expected, tickets are already in high demand. Presales for fan club members begin next week, followed by general ticket releases. Industry experts predict record-breaking sales numbers, as Coldplay concerts consistently rank among the most sought-after live experiences in the world.
