So there has been a lot of speculation about Coldplay's 2027 tour dates. This is what Chris said at the end of 2025...

"This tour has 138 more shows to go and we have a break coming up...and we will announce the shows for 2027 soon. We only have 2 more this year..."

*** "Then we're going to go make this really special thing that we've been making for years and years... and it's really good" ***

So there is a "plan" to continue the tour in 2027. BUT, he also hinted at "something really special they had been working on for years and years. NEW MUSIC???? It truly sounds like it. If that's the case, that's likely what the delay is. If they are working on a new LP then surely they'd want to fully complete it before they go back on the road or even commit to tour dates. Chris said after X&Y that they would never rush to complete another album again. So if they are making new music they will likely take as much time as they need for it to turn out they way they want it. Which is fine by me. New music is well worth the wait.

What do you think?

If a track in the main album doesn't fit the prompt, you can use a B-Side track that was released in the same era as the album mentioned.

I don't know if they'll ever actually end up doing an eras tour, but at this point I'm dreaming of the day the revisit some of the material that got them popular in the first place more deeply. I also wish the band would tour with more musicans. We see them do these collaboration songs from time to time, but why not bring a full touring band to add, strings, horns, backing vocalists?

Also -- if this really was my dream setlist, there would be some deeper b-sides and albums played in full. I'm deadly serious about this suggestion, so trying to keep it realistic: crowd pleasing but provides plenty of deepcuts and love for albums that they haven't given enough to (X&Y, Everyday LIfe, Viva). They'd play multiple songs from EVERY album except their most recent. I tried to keep this to about 3 hours. So it would be a "marathon" type setlist. This also wouldn't leave room for any new material, which probably makes it unrealistic to ever expect something like this.

Part 1 - Opening with Stadium Hits, Mylo Xyloto (20 minutes)

• AHFOD Tour Intro Speech, but transitions into...

• MX/Hurts Like Heaven

• Rotation: Charlie Brown or Every Teardrop is a Waterfall

• Adventure of a Lifetime, extra percussionists join the band with balloons. During the outro guitar, a saxaphonist does a cool solo.

• Clocks Remix/Jam - First chorus is with string section instead of piano. During the final bridge of the song it goes quiet. Chris solo peformas either Bani Adam or Postcards from Far Away -- then Clocks conludes in chaotic, explosive flash.

• 10 minute techno mix - Moon Music intro song (Jon Hopkins) fades into Midnight as band appears -- exerpts of Giorgio Mordor remix version of the song. Fades into Paradise Tiesto Remix. Fades out and mellows into Hymn for The Weekend Seeb Remix, horn section fades out song. Very short outro of Something Just Like This into Breakway (Martin Garrix). Band returns to main instruments.

• Rotating - Everything's Not Lost or Amsterdam or Death and All of His friends 

• Fix You 

The bass line in the chorus when played live during the Twisted Logic Tour was a completely different progression from the studio version. I couldn’t for the life of me figure out why the chorus sounded so off and lifeless (to me) in the live versions, until I listened to them closely!

Studio version w/timestamp:

1:51

Live version w/timestamp:

2:04

The guitar was also generally less distorted during those live performances, which is a huge part of the studio version.

I also noticed a similar thing with A Message: The synth in the live versions played in 2005 do not have the same progression as the studio version. I wonder if this is part of why they stopped playing it fairly early during the tour? Anyway, just found this interesting!

Hi, everyone. I love Sparks and I am glad it gained popularity on streaming. I was wondering though if you think there is any other non-single that has a chance at having similar success?

Just curious what people’s favorite songs are, Coldplay has done so many different kinds of music and there are tons of good songs to pick from (if someone says biutyful I will come after them)

So this is way to early but i keep seeing people talking about the war to book the show i need to know all the details as a first time to go idk where to find them or what seat or anything please let me know i really want to go!!

I'm not sure if it was just me being a dumbass kid or what or if it was something my mom told me, and I'm not SUPER super into Coldplay (I only really like Something Just Like This, Clocks, and Viva La Vida from what I've heard over the years) but for some reason, whether that's true or not, I always had this weird perception as a kid they were some kind of "adult band" that my mom explicitly was like "yeah that's for older people" or something like that, but now that I've grown up, again, if that was ever true...I kinda understand it? Even if it's just something that never happened and was merely my perception of them as a kid without being told or outside influence, their music from what I've heard (minus SJLT obv) does have a political vibe to it, like the lyrics of Clocks and Viva La Vida. Then again, it's presented in a very beautiful, almost ethereal serene freeing way, at least now that I'm thinking about this again. If anyone else wants to chip in just in case they had the same perception, lmk.

First time to go do we think there might be a chance for turkey? Can someone give me details on how they got theirs last time they booked? I really have no clue and im scared i will miss it if it happens

"Together thru life" Is now on proudly in my body. I always knew I'd get it. Since 2018 maybe. Finally inked it down.

Hello! So maybe some of you may know, I have went to Internet Archive and reuploaded two videos of the MAXmusicTV interview with Coldplay. That channel no longer exists and part 3 was never archived. Would anyone happen to have this video saved and could archive it?

Which Coldplay songs would get along as friends

It's so beautifully timeless!

I know that they're pretty close since they came from the same era of 2000's British Alt rock scene, and I've seen some photos of them together
