Coldplay setlist: All the songs on their record-setting Music of the Spheres World Tour Show Caption Hide Caption Coldplay's 'Music of The Spheres' tour is the biggest rock tour ever Coldplay's 'Music of The Spheres' world tour is the biggest rock tour of all time, according to Billboard's touring archives. unbranded - Entertainment PALO ALTO, California - Seeing Coldplay live is pretty much the polar opposite of taking in a spontaneous jam band concert. And that's not a bad thing. The group's Music of the Spheres World Tour continues to deliver a tightly choreographed and dreamy production that has been touring the globe for three years. The show the British band put on May 31 at Stanford Stadium, which kicks off a final leg of a planetary peregrination that ends this fall in London, was good fun polished to a delirious sheen. Frontman Chris Martin and his longtime mates – guitarist Jonny Buckland, bass player Guy Berryman and drummer Will Champion – unveiled a two-hour-plus medley of hits woven into a technological tapestry that included light-up bracelets, 3-D glasses and endless fireworks and confetti. Call it a sing-a-long for the ages. The multi-part shows that make up the Music Of The Spheres World Tour finds the band digging deep into its many albums but with an emphasis on 'Music Of The Spheres' (2021) and 'Moon Music' (2024). The tour, which has already crossed the $1 billion sales mark, kicked off back in 2022. Coldplay will reprise their Stanford gig June 1, before moving to Las Vegas for two shows, and then on to Colorado, Texas, Massachusetts, Wisconsin, Tennessee and Florida. They'll hit Toronto and Hull, England before wrapping this mega-tour with 10 dates at London's Wembley Stadium. The last Coldplay show from this record-setting event is September 8. Catch them while you can. Coldplay Music of the Spheres World Tour Stanford Stadium May 31 setlist 1. Higher Power 2. Adventure of a Lifetime 3. Paradise 4. The Scientist 5. Viva La Vida 6.

And Toronto has a new one, the 50,000-seat Rogers Stadium, out at Downview Park, that will host four anticipated shows by Coldplay and two by a reunited Oasis. 'Toronto, in general, is an amazing concert market,' said Hoffman, adding the city is now among the top markets for concerts in North America.

Photo by Rajanish Kakade / THE ASSOCIATED PRESS 'The other thing that is happening is there are a large number of events that are really like destination events. You have the rest of the world sort of coming in to visit so it beefs it all up,' said Hoffman. 'Certainly, at the stadium level, a lot of them (Coldplay, Oasis, System Of A Down) are not playing other markets in the region. So you get people who come, not just from Montreal and Ottawa and London, Ont., but also just from around the world.' Your noon-hour look at what's happening in Toronto and beyond.

He added that 2026 is already shaping up to be 'equally exciting or greater than 2025,' as Rogers Stadium has captured the interest of many musical acts. Add to that an already record year for shows at the Toronto Blue Jays' home stadium downtown — Rogers Centre — with the summer bringing which include two shows by Kendrick Lamar, four shows by Toronto's The Weeknd and two by country bad boy Morgan Wallen. 'If we didn't even build that (new) stadium, it would already be even more shows at the Rogers Centre this year than any other year we've had,' said Hoffman. 'What (the new stadium) allows us to do is they play baseball a lot of days in the summer so it allows us some flexibility. We don't have to work around the timing (of baseball games) quite as much.'

Budweiser Stage, meanwhile, officially opens its outdoor concert season down at the lake on Thursday with a show featuring members of Primus, Puscifer, and A Perfect Circle and later has two shows each from such marquee veterans as Neil Young and The Who. Hoffman said newcomer and Taylor Swift opener Gracie Abrams 'could have had 10' shows at Budweiser Stage — she has one July 26 — and the return of Mumford & Sons at that venue is also proving popular. 'I have 60 shows announced now but there's another 10-plus to go so at Budweiser Stage — we will eclipse 75 shows which definitely makes us the busiest large amphitheatre in North America,' said Hoffman.
