Coldplay have announced a huge stadium tour for 2022, with a whole heap of environmental pledges too

Coldplay have announced a huge stadium tour for 2022.

The run, announced on the eve of the release of their new album 'Music Of The Spheres, will be as sustainable and low-carbon as possible. The band have pledged to cut direct emissions by 50% compared to their most recent tour, use solar installations and kinetic energy at every venue to power a mobile rechargable show battery, and to plant a tree for every tickets sold.

“Playing live and finding connection with people is ultimately why we exist as a band. We’ve been planning this tour for years, and we’re super excited to play songs from across our whole time together," the band explain.

"At the same time, we’re very conscious that the planet is facing a climate crisis. So we’ve spent the last two years consulting with environmental experts to make this tour as sustainable as possible, and, just as importantly, to harness the tour’s potential to push things forward. We won’t get everything right, but we’re committed to doing everything we can and sharing what we learn. It’s a work in progress and we’re really grateful for the help we’ve had so far. If you'd like to come to a show and sing with us, we’re so excited to see you.”

The world tour will hit the UK next August, with three dates at London's Wembley Stadium and one at Glasgow's Hampden Park. Support on the run will come from H.E.R. and London Grammar.
