Coldplay is coming to Seattle on Wednesday, September 20th, 2023, and they are performing at Lumen Field. The last time the band had a tour date in Washington was Friday, October 22nd, 2021, at 6:00 pm, where they performed at Climate Pledge Arena. The “Music of the Spheres” world tour began March 18th when the band performed in Costa Rica for the first time, and following this they will also make stops in Mexico, the Dominican Republic, Germany, USA, Poland, Belgium, France, and the UK. Opening and joining the band on their tour for the European stops will be Alli Neumann, Gaumar, Griff, Ibibio Sound Machine, Laura Mvula, Lous and the Yakuza, Mery Spolsky, Nina Nesbitt and Zoe Wees. Joining them for the North American part of their tour will be five-time Grammy winner R&B artist H.E.R and 070 Shake, an upcoming artist from New Jersey.

Coldplay is a British rock group that was formed in 1998 at University College in London. The band started off with Chris Martin from Exeter, England playing the piano and doing vocals, and Jonny Buckland from London playing the guitar. Later, the band was joined by Will Champion from Southampton, England, who was originally a guitarist but later on in the band’s journey switched to playing drums. Guy Berryman from Kirkcaldy, Scotland, joined the band to play the bass. 

Tickets for the tour started to go on sale beginning Friday, January 27th, at 10 a.m. pacific-standard time on Ticketmaster. Tickets range from 67 dollars to over 230 dollars depending on how high up your seats are and where in the stadium your seats are located. The Music of the Spheres World Tour has sold over six million tickets across many different places, including but not limited to Europe, North America, and Latin America. Many different fans and critics have sent their reviews and recommendations and they have written nothing but the best.

The band made the news on this tour because of their efforts towards sustainability through their shows being powered by natural energy. Their initiatives include the world’s first battery system that is able to tour and the first ever stadium show powered fully by renewable energy. As part of their effort to cut tour emissions by 50%, the band has planned to plant one tree for every show ticket sold and have offered fans ways to travel by low-emission transport. At the concerts, fans can even help to power the show by using bikes that create electricity and energy-generating dance floors.
