5 Best Moments From Coldplay's Music of the Spheres Tour Boston Show
Coldplay's Music of the Spheres Tour has resumed in the United States, hitting cities that they missed during the first round of their tour. Back by fan demand, Coldplay not only added US dates, but added additional international dates at multiple stadiums. More from Billboard Selena Gomez Celebrates 33rd Birthday With Benny Blanco, Taylor Swift & More Mariah Carey 'MC16' Album Details Coming Tomorrow Christina Aguilera Attends 'Burlesque the Musical' in London: See Her Reaction Last night, Coldplay played the first East Coast show of the highly-anticipated U.S. leg of the band's record-breaking Music of the Spheres World Tour to over 66,000 ecstatic fans at Boston's Gillette Stadium. The band first entered Billboard's charts in 2001 with their breakout single 'Yellow,' which peaked at No.48 on the Billboard Hot 100. Its growing popularity over the years has led to multiple successful releases and a strong chart presence, including 27 total entries on the Hot 100, five Top 10 hits, and two No. 1s. The band's 27th and most recent entry is 'Sparks' — originally released in 2000 on Parachutes—which saw a viral resurgence on social media platforms like TikTok. Coldplay's additional tour dates celebrate its tenth studio album, Moon Music, which showcases a variety of sounds, while demonstrating the quartet's stability in the industry and how far they've come since their first album, Parachutes, in 2000. Coldplay's ability to sell out not just arenas but full stadiums has been a consistent hallmark of its touring history. This includes major global runs like the A Head Full of Dreams Tour (2017), the Viva La Vida Tour (2008) and the Mylo Xyloto Tour (2011), which helped cement the band's reputation as one of the most in-demand live acts in the world. The Mylo Xyloto Tour in particular stands out — not only for its scale but for its innovation. It was the first to introduce Xylobands/LED wristbands that light up in sync with the music, pushing the boundaries of fan engagement through technology. There's truly nothing like a Coldplay tour. Following the close of the first leg of its international tour in 2024, it came as no surprise that the second leg — set for 2025 — sold out almost instantly. The band's recent performance at Gillette Stadium marked the latest stop on a global run that spans Latin America, North America and Europe, with multiple-night stops in nearly every major U.S. city due to overwhelming demand. Featuring a stacked set list from multiple albums, from Ghost Stories to Music of the Spheres to Moon Music, the show featured the band's recent hits 'My Universe,' 'Higher Power' and 'Let Somebody Go' alongside classics including 'Yellow,' 'Fix You,' 'Viva La Vida' and 'Adventure of a Lifetime.' Here are the top five moments from Coldplay's first of two performances this week at Boston's Gillette Stadium. 5. Raining Star-Shaped ConfettiThe Music of the Spheres Tour fully embraced its cosmic theme, transforming Gillette Stadium into a galactic dreamscape. Giant helium planets and glowing stars floated above the crowd, creating a surreal, interstellar atmosphere. On the GA floor, bursts of star-shaped confetti rained down on fans, blanketing the audience in shimmering pieces of the galaxy. The combination of visual effects and celestial elements made the entire experience feel like a journey through space — immersive, imaginative and unmistakably Coldplay. 4. Fan-Picked FavoriteColdplay frontman Chris Martin picked four lucky fans from the GA floor, who held up a sign that asked him to play 'In My Place.' Every show, Chris plays a fan requested song on the keyboard, which made a special moment as Chris and one of the fans got their chance to sing with him at the end of the song. 3. Worldwide with 'My Universe'The band performed 'My Universe,' originally featuring K-pop superstars BTS. Although BTS couldn't join in person, the group recorded special video clips that played during the performance. Fans erupted with excitement — while many wished BTS could have appeared live, the inclusion of the song and the pre-recorded footage made the moment a standout highlight and a lasting fan bias. 2. It Was All YellowGillette Stadium was filled with all yellow lights as Chris Martin started singing the beginning lyrics of his band's first Hot 100 hit. Hearing the song that skyrocketed Coldplay into mainstream awareness, fans were immediately brought back to the year 2000, surrounded by lights that painted the stadium in shades of yellow. 1. A Sky Full of Stars and MemoriesDuring 'A Sky Full of Stars,' Chris Martin paused mid-performance, asking the crowd to put their phones away and be fully present in the moment. As they restarted, all 66,000 concert goers' LED wristbands lit up the stadium in perfect sync, casting waves of color across the crowd. Without people's phone screens in the air, the entire audience moved as one, creating a rare, almost spiritual sense of unity. It wasn't just a concert — it was a shared, luminous experience that left fans in awe and cemented the night as unforgettable.

Coldplay's Chris Martin references Andy Byron jumbotron scandal at Wisconsin show, tells fans to 'do your makeup...'
Coldplay has been in the news for the past few weeks thanks to a high-profile infidelity scandal that unexpectedly unfolded during their concert at Boston last week. During the event, the jumbotron caught Astronomer CEO Andy Byron in a compromising position with his company's HR chief, Kristin Cabot. Andy was married to Megan Kerrigan at the time, resulting in a full-blown scandal that led to his resignation from Astronomer altogether, along with messy divorce proceedings. In the band's July 20 show in Madison, Wisconsin, Coldplay frontman Chris Martin took a jab at the scandal by saying: "We'd like to say hello to some of you in the crowd. How we're gonna do that is we're gonna use our cameras and put some of you on the big screen. So please, if you haven't done your makeup, do your makeup now." Chris warning everyone he's gonna put some people on screen 😂 Chris Martin warns the audience about the jumbotron Chris Martin was still in good humor regarding the jumbotron scandal Coldplay had unwittingly gotten wrapped up in. During the Boston concert, Martin had caught on to the embarrassment felt by Andy Byron when he featured on the jumbotron, and had said: 'Oh what, Either they're having an affair or they're very shy.' While Andy Byron's infidelity scandal has had massive personal consequences for the Astronomer CEO, Coldplay themselves seem to be laughing the whole incident off. The band's recent concerts in Boston and Wisconsin are part of their Music of the Spheres World Tour, which began in Costal Rica on March 2022 and has been ongoing for the next several years. This world tour is being done to promote the band's most recent albums, Music of the Spheres and Moon Music. Show #207, Madison#MusicOfTheSpheresWorldTour Astronomer had a leadership shakeup after CEO scandal After Andy Byron was caught on the jumbotron during Coldplay's Boston concert, he eventually had to resign from his position as Astronomer CEO, with the company giving the following statement to Newsweek on the matter: "Astronomer is committed to the values and culture that have guided us since our founding. Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability, and recently, that standard was not met."

As the band played a romantic track, the stadium's 'kiss cam' landed on a couple in the crowd, later identified as Andy Byron and Kristin Cabo,t who appeared visibly affectionate. Audience cheers turned awkward when the two seemed hesitant to react, drawing a lighthearted jab from Coldplay frontman Chris Martin . 'Either they're having an affair or they're just very shy,' he joked from the stage. The moment, broadcast live on the venue's big screen, was captured and shared by nearby concertgoers. One such clip uploaded by user Grace Springer quickly went viral across platforms, amassing over 40 million views within 48 hours. Fallout at Astronomer Both Byron and Cabot are in an extramarital affair, and Cabot reportedly finalized her divorce in 2022 and serves in senior executive roles at Astronomer, a high-profile data infrastructure company. Following the video's viral spread, the company placed both executives on administrative leave pending a formal internal investigation. In a statement issued Wednesday, the Astronomers' board confirmed the inquiry: 'We are conducting a review to determine the facts and evaluate any potential breaches of our internal code of conduct. We take matters of integrity and accountability seriously.' The company emphasized that no other employees were involved and asked the public to refrain from speculation as the investigation proceeds.
