Coldplay has announced the much-anticipated North American leg of their record-setting Music of the Spheres World Tour, set to take place in 2025. Kicking off on May 31st in Stanford, California, the tour will cover ten major stadiums across the United States and Canada. This includes shows in Las Vegas, Denver, and Toronto, culminating in a performance at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami on July 26. With the band’s status at an all-time high, this tour comes hot on the heels of their 2024 dates across Australia, Asia, and the United Kingdom.

The Music of the Spheres tour, which has already grossed over $1 billion, making it one of the highest-grossing rock tours in history, is set to continue this extraordinary success in North America. Coldplay will be performing at massive venues such as Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas and Rogers Stadium in Toronto, where they are scheduled for two nights. The tour will also hit cities like Foxborough, Nashville, and Madison, offering fans plenty of opportunities to catch one of the world’s biggest bands live.

Ticket Frenzy and Accessibility Issues
While fans are eagerly awaiting the concerts, getting hold of tickets has proven to be a challenge. As with previous legs of the tour, ticket sales have caused frustration among many Coldplay followers. Pre-sales are scheduled to start on October 11th, followed by general ticket sales, but high demand has already led to long wait times and steep prices, leaving many fans struggling to secure their spots.

"I’ve been trying to get Coldplay tickets since the last tour and it’s nearly impossible,” said a long-time fan from California. “I had to wait in the online queue for over two hours, and by the time I got through, the only tickets left were well beyond what I could afford."

This issue isn’t new for Coldplay or other mega-tours like Taylor Swift’s Eras tour, which similarly saw fans battling against both long wait times and ticket prices surging in secondary markets. For the upcoming Music of the Spheres North American dates, Ticketmaster is set to sell the tickets, but fans are already concerned about potential glitches and scalper-driven price hikes. The platform has recently come under fire for failing to handle surges in demand during pre-sales and has also faced criticism for dynamic pricing strategies, which cause ticket prices to rise dramatically based on demand.

Adding to the stress of obtaining tickets, Coldplay will also release a limited number of affordable “Infinity Tickets” priced at $20 each, continuing their commitment to making live music accessible to as many fans as possible. However, these tickets are limited and often sell out almost instantly. Given their popularity, many fans are preparing for an intense competition during the sales windows.

Coldplay’s Historic Tour
The Music of the Spheres tour first launched in 2022 in support of Coldplay’s ninth studio album of the same name, which featured collaborations with artists such as BTS and Selena Gomez. Known for its eco-conscious initiatives, the tour has received praise for incorporating renewable energy and low-carbon technology to reduce its environmental impact. From solar-powered stages to bike-powered electricity generators, Coldplay has redefined how sustainable practices can be implemented on a global concert scale.

Beyond the innovative environmental focus, the Music of the Spheres tour has become a spectacle of music and light. Concertgoers are immersed in vibrant light shows, stunning visuals, and Coldplay’s signature use of wristbands that light up in sync with the music, creating an unforgettable atmosphere for both long-time fans and new listeners.

Coldplay’s live performances remain some of the most captivating in modern rock, with frontman Chris Martin leading the charge through emotionally charged renditions of hits like “Fix You,” “Viva La Vida,” and “Yellow.” Fans can expect these timeless tracks, alongside newer hits from Music of the Spheres, including the anthemic “Higher Power” and the chart-topping collaboration with BTS, “My Universe.”

Looking Ahead
As Coldplay prepares to hit the road once more, the excitement surrounding the Music of the Spheres tour shows no signs of slowing down. With their recent release of the album Moon Music, the band continues to expand their artistic horizons, blending electronic elements with their traditional rock sound.

For those lucky enough to snag tickets, the 2025 tour promises an immersive experience combining music, light, and a message of sustainability. But as history has shown, getting a seat at the table will be no easy feat. Coldplay’s North American run is expected to sell out quickly, leaving many fans hoping for additional dates or waiting to catch the band in another part of the world.

For now, though, all eyes are on October 11th when ticket sales go live, and fans will once again try their luck at joining Coldplay for what promises to be one of the most memorable concert tours of 2025.

As Coldplay’s ‘Music of the Spheres’ tour returns to North America in 2025, fans are scrambling for tickets, with many facing challenges navigating long queues and high prices.
