Coldplay’s Music Of The Spheres World Tour, which began in March 2022 and has so far sold more than 9 million tickets, resumes at Munich’s Olympiastadion tonight. In June, the band revealed that the tour has so far produced 59% less CO2e emissions than their previous stadium tour in 2016/17, exceeding their original target of a 50% reduction. They also revealed that 9 million trees have already been planted (one for each ticket sold).
