Since the first Music Of The Spheres World Tour date in March 2022, the band have sold over 9 million tickets – the most for any tour over the last two years. The tour has also received rave reviews from fans and critics alike, picking up accolades including Favorite Touring Artist at the 2022 AMAs and Tour of The Year at the 2023 iHeartRadio Awards.

The band recently issued an update on the tour’s sustainability initiatives, revealing that, on a show-by-show comparison, their current tour has so far produced 47% less CO2e emissions than their previous stadium tour in 2016/17, and that more than 7 million trees have already been planted around the world (with one being planted for each concert goer).

On Thursday, Coldplay were named in TIME Magazine’s inaugural TIME100 Climate, a new list of the world’s most influential leaders driving real climate action.

Coldplay will make a limited number of Infinity Tickets available for the shows at a later date. Infinity Tickets are released for every Coldplay show to make the Music Of The Spheres World Tour accessible to fans for an affordable price. They will cost $32 AUD / $32 NZD per ticket. They are restricted to a maximum of two tickets per purchaser, and must be bought in pairs (which will be located next to each other).

The band have also revealed their support acts for the shows will be PinkPantheress and Emmanuel Kelly.

Why to enter the Coldplay Melbourne presale

Here’s what to expect from Coldplay’s Melbourne shows.

Coldplay is a British rock band that was formed in London in 1997. The band consists of vocalist and pianist Chris Martin, guitarist Jonny Buckland, bassist Guy Berryman, drummer Will Champion, and creative director Phil Harvey. They met at University College London and began playing music together from 1996 to 1998, initially calling themselves Starfish. Coldplay has sold more than 80 million records worldwide and scored eight UK number-one singles overall. They are known for their use of melodic alternative rock in music that varies in style from album to album.

Exeter-born songwriter Chris Martin first met his future bandmates at University College London in late 1996, bonding over music while playing pool at the student-union bar with guitarist Jonny Buckland, bassist Guy Berryman, and drummer Will Champion. After independently releasing an extended play, Safety (1998), Coldplay signed with Parlophone in 1999. The band’s debut album, Parachutes (2000), included their breakthrough single “Yellow” and received a Brit Award for British Album of the Year, a Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music Album, and a Mercury Prize nomination.

Their second album, A Rush of Blood to the Head (2002), won the same accolades and included the single “Clocks”, which won a Grammy Award for Record of the Year. Their third album, X&Y (2005), which completed what the band considered a trilogy, was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Rock Album. Their fourth album, Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends (2008), won Best Rock Album. Both albums were the best-selling of their respective years, topping the charts in over 30 countries.

Viva la Vida was also nominated for Album of the Year, while its title track became the first single by a British group to simultaneously reach number one in the United Kingdom and United States in the 21st century. Coldplay further diversified their sound over their next five studio albums, the most recent being Music of the Spheres (2021). Each album presented a unique theme and added new musical styles to the band’s original repertoire, including electronica, ambient, pop, R&B, classical, and progressive rock.

Coldplay’s renowned immersive live performances

They are also known for “euphoric” and “immersive” live performances. In 2018, a career-spanning documentary directed by Mat Whitecross was released in cinemas to celebrate the band’s 20th anniversary. With over 100 million albums sold worldwide, Coldplay is among the best-selling music acts of all time. In 2014, Fuse ranked them as the sixth-most awarded group in history, which includes having the most Brit Awards wins by a band. They currently own three of the 50 highest-selling albums in the United Kingdom and the most number-one albums in the country (nine) without ever missing the top.

In 2021, “My Universe” made them the first British group to debut at number one on the Billboard Hot 100. The band also has two of the 15 highest-grossing tours of all time.
