Coldplay is once again raising the bar for sustainability on their highly anticipated Music of the Spheres world tour, with stops in India on January 18 and 19, 2025! This tour is not just about music; it’s a commitment to making a positive impact on our planet, setting a new standard for sustainability in the music industry. Here are the key initiatives:

Coldplay’s green initiative includes:

• Compostable LED Wristbands: Made from 100% plant-based materials, with an 86% return and reuse rate, reducing production by 80%.

• Energy Generation: Kinetic dance floors and power bikes allow fans to help power the band's C-stage performances.

• Free Water Refill Stations: Reducing plastic waste at every concert.

• Tree Planting: One tree planted for every ticket sold, with 7 million trees planted across 24 countries in partnership with One Tree Planted.

• Waste Management: 72% of tour waste diverted from landfill for reuse, recycling, and composting.

• Minimised Air Travel: Since 2021, Coldplay has opted for train travel when possible. The band chooses commercial flights for unavoidable journeys, saying ‘no’ to charter flights for the band, crew, and equipment. 

• Sustainable Aviation Fuel: Paying a surcharge to use Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), reducing carbon emissions by up to 80%.

• Electric Vehicles and Biofuels: Utilised for freight and transportation on the ground.

• Green Travel Partnerships: Collaborating with 23 providers to promote super-low carbon transport options for fans.

By demonstrating that it is possible to tour successfully while minimising environmental impact, the band is surely paving the way for a more sustainable future for the music industry.
