Coldplay played the final show of the hugely successful U.S. leg of their record-breaking Music Of The Spheres World Tour to 55,000 fans at Tampa’s Raymond James Stadium.
They were joined on stage by Grammy-winning artist H.E.R., who duetted with the band on their recent single, Let Somebody Go (singing Selena Gomez’s parts from the studio version). H.E.R. has been the main support on the Latin American and U.S. legs of the tour, and will play further shows with Coldplay in Europe this summer.
The twelve U.S. stadium dates saw the band play to a combined audience of 600,000 in Dallas, Houston, Phoenix, Santa Clara, Chicago, Washington DC, East Rutherford, Atlanta and Tampa.
Celebrating the release of the band’s current album Music Of The Spheres, the show featured their recent hits My Universe, Higher Power and Let Somebody Go alongside classics including Yellow, Clocks, Fix You, Viva La Vida and Adventure Of A Lifetime.
Along the way, the band also welcomed a host of surprise special guest performers to share the stage with them, including Bruce Springsteen, Kelly Rowland, Kylie Minogue and Lupe Fiasco.

More than 3.8 million tickets have now been sold for the tour, which reaches Europe on July 2, when the band will play the first of three sold out shows at Frankfurt’s Deutsche Bank Park stadium. They will then perform in Poland, France, Belgium and the UK, with a run of dates including four sold out nights at both Paris’s Stade de France and Brussels’ King Baudouin Stadium, and six sold out nights at London’s iconic Wembley Stadium.
Coldplay will then head to Latin America in the autumn for the tour’s second leg in the region, following shows in March / April 2022. For the upcoming concerts, the band have smashed several records, including most dates by a single artist at Estadio Nacional, Santiago (4 shows); Allianz Parque, São Paulo (6 shows); and River Plate, Buenos Aires (an incredible 10 shows).
The tour is accompanied by a comprehensive set of sustainability initiatives which includes the following commitments:
-A show powered by 100% renewable energy in almost all location
-Power bikes and kinetic dancefloors allowing fans to help power the show
-Solar panels at every show
-Pledge to cut tour emissions by 50%
-One tree planted for every ticket sold
-Incentives to encourage fans to travel to shows by green transportThe band also secured discounts on public transport in several of the U.S. cities to host the recent shows. Last week, Coldplay’s Chris Martin spoke to NBC’s TODAY about the sustainability initiatives: watch here. Full details of the band’s initiatives can be seen at coldplay.com/sustainability.
