Coldplay’s headline set in London will come ahead of the band’s historic 10-night run at Wembley Stadium next summer as part of their ongoing ‘Music Of The Spheres’ world tour. They’ll also play two nights in Hull in August.
The group released their 10th and latest studio album, ‘Moon Music’, at the start of October. It has since become the fastest-selling record by a UK act in 2024 so far. Additionally, the LP earned the biggest week for a British act on the UK’s Official Albums Chart since Adele‘s ’30’.
This summer saw Coldplay’s ‘Music Of The Spheres’ tour officially become the highest-grossing rock tour ever.
Ahead of ‘Moon Music’, frontman Martin spoke to NME exclusively in his only written interview for the album. The wide-ranging conversation saw the frontman reveal the topics that had inspired the record and how the band were coming to the end of writing new music.
As for whether the group were still planning on concluding their recorded catalogue after 12 albums, Martin told NME: “The 12 album thing is very real, and it’s a nice feeling. It doesn’t mean we won’t tour or finish some compilation things or outtakes or whatever. It just means that the main story is told. That’s just what feels really right. Just knowing that’s happening supercharges all the work we’re doing now.”
