On August 27th, my intense summer concert season came to an end with the most powerful finale: Coldplay’s Music of the Spheres Tour 2025 in London. I managed to grab nosebleed tickets for Night Four of their 10-night run at Wembley Stadium and was beyond excited to see Coldplay for the third time (you can read about my last experience in Munich here).
If you’re still heading to one of their Wembley shows, don’t forget to check out my Wembley guide with all the tips you’ll need.
And now, let’s dive back into the magic of Coldplay.
Music of the Spheres World Tour – A Cultural Phenomenon
First things first: it’s important to mention that Coldplay’s Music of the Spheres tour has made a massive cultural impact. With $1.38 billion in revenue and 12.3 million tickets sold, it became the most-attended tour of all time and the first by a band to surpass $1 billion.
The tour kicked off in 2022 and has since spanned 225 shows in 80 cities across 43 countries. I’ve been lucky enough to attend three of those concerts. Now in its fourth year, the tour will officially come to an end with the final Wembley date on September 12, 2025.
Tickets to Coldplay Music of the Spheres Tour 2025
Even though the Music of the Spheres Tour had 225 shows in total, we all know how tough it can be to actually secure tickets. I got mine during the presale (I purchased their new album Moon Music to access the code). It was stressful, but in the end, I managed to grab three seated tickets for £74.25 each. Our seats were in Section 520, Row 24, numbers 185–187. Pretty far up, yes - but honestly, there are no bad seats at a Coldplay concert.
If you’re still struggling with ticket sales, I’ve also shared my step-by-step experience and tips on increasing your chances of getting tickets here.
The Venue – Iconic Wembley Stadium
This was my third time at Wembley (first was Coldplay in 2022 and then Harry Styles in 2023), so I already felt comfortable navigating it. That made the whole experience much smoother when visiting this massive stadium, which fits around 90,000 people and is the second-largest stadium in Europe.
If you’re planning your own trip, I’ve also put together a dedicated Wembley Stadium guide with detailed info on bag policy, food spots, and security checks - definitely worth checking out before your visit.

Pre-Show Magic (by Coldplay)
This time, my concert partners in crime were my parents - it was actually my Christmas present to take them to London for Coldplay. So you can imagine the excitement!
Even though we had seated tickets, we decided to arrive early to soak up the atmosphere (and a bit of rain before entering the stadium, haha), take photos, and of course, I wanted to grab a Coldplay poster from the merch stand. We wandered around, enjoyed the opening acts, and fully immersed ourselves in that magical pre-concert vibe. Time flew by, and before we knew it, it was time for the main event: Coldplay!
Coldplay – The Adventure of a Lifetime
As the first chords played and the band appeared on screen, walking onto the stage while “Flying Theme” from E.T. played, we were about to embark on a two-hour journey divided into four acts: Planets, Moons, Stars, and Home. As Chris Martin explained, it represents “a journey traveling outwards into the unknown, then coming home having learned something new.”
Act .i. Planets & Act .ii. Moons
From the very first notes of Higher Power, you’re transported into a magical world of music, lights, fireworks, and emotion. One of the highlights, now almost as famous as Coldplay themselves, is the Xylobands - LED wristbands given to the audience that light up in sync with the show. Coldplay first introduced them on a large scale during their 2012 Mylo Xyloto tour.
The concert continued with hit after hit: Paradise, The Scientist, Viva La Vida, Yellow, and we also got lucky to have Charlie Brown included (they don’t always play this song). Of course, these songs got everyone on their feet right from the start. I loved seeing the whole stadium dancing and singing along - 90,000 people singing Yellow is pure goosebumps.
During this part, Chris Martin also took some time to connect with fans. He read signs, recognized flags from all over, and even tried to acknowledge fans in the farthest sections of the stadium. To top it off, he invited a couple of fans on stage who had a sign asking for Violet Hill. Talk about fan appreciation!
Act .iii. Stars
This act brought us into a newer era of Coldplay music (except for classics like Clocks) and included the new song We Pray from Moon Music. It closed with A Sky Full of Stars, which Chris famously cut midway to encourage fans to put their phones away and simply enjoy the moment - most people, myself included, happily followed along.
Act .iv. Home
The final act took place on the C-stage at the back of the stadium, featuring Sparks, Cemeteries of London (first time since 2011), and the hilarious Jumbotron Song, improvised by Chris to fan showed on screen (disclaimer: hide if you brought your HR rep 😅).
The emotional peak came with Fix You, followed by feelslikeimfallinginlove, fireworks, and “moon goggles” that made the lights look like glowing hearts. The encore closed with All My Love, and just like that, two hours of pure concert magic were over.

Coldplay Wins the Sustainability Game
When talking about Coldplay, I can’t skip the fact that they are one of the few major bands actively advocating for sustainability. I deeply respect them for using their platform to spread this message.
Before the concert, informative videos highlighted their sustainability efforts, and fans were encouraged to return their LED wristbands for reuse. The show also featured kinetic dance floors, allowing fans to generate electricity through their movement, and power bikes, where fans could pedal to contribute to the energy supply. There were even fun competitions between groups to see who could generate the most power!
Coldplay also plants a tree for every ticket sold, meaning they’ve now planted over 10 million trees worldwide. Impressively, this 10-night Wembley residency was the first major concert series fully powered by solar, wind, and kinetic energy.
For those curious about the details, Coldplay has published a full report on their sustainability initiatives here.
Fighting Post-Concert Depression at the Coldplay Popup Store
The day after the concert, we visited the official Coldplay merch popup store in London. We got there around midday and waited about half an hour to get in, but it was totally worth it!
It was amazing to see all the merch up close, and of course, I couldn’t resist picking up a few vinyls to add to my collection. Even my mom couldn’t stop herself from grabbing a Coldplay hoodie—a perfect way to keep the concert memories alive!
The shop, which opened as part of the King’s Cross takeover, is still open until September 9, so you can still visit it. Check out all the details here.
Final Thoughts
Coldplay and the Music of the Spheres Tour truly deserve their reputation as one of the most impressive tours ever. Experiencing it for the third time was an absolute privilege, and I’ll forever remember these magical nights.
From the incredible stage production and stunning visuals to the fan-focused moments and their commitment to sustainability, every aspect of the concert felt thoughtfully crafted. The Music of the Spheres Tour isn’t just a concert - it’s an Adventure of a Lifetime.
