Chris Martin Bids the World: 2026 Tour Dates and Cities Revealed… — Watch Here ⬇️⬇️
Coldplay’s Music of the Spheres Tour timeline
Coldplay’s Music of the Spheres World Tour began on 18 March 2022, in San José, Costa Rica.
The tour is set to conclude (for now) on 12 September 2025 at Wembley Stadium in London.
Their official “Tour Dates” page currently states: “There are no dates currently scheduled.”
As of late 2025, Chris Martin has teased that there are “138 more shows to go” beyond the current run.
However, he also stated that after a break, the next set of shows would take place in 2027, not 2026.
There is also reference to a possible extension of the tour into southern Africa, with Martin noting that the tour might resume “somewhere in southern Africa in about 18 months.”
Africa is one of the few continents Coldplay did not visit during the existing legs of Music of the Spheres.
Thus, the existing and confirmed narrative is that Coldplay’s current tour ends in 2025, and additional dates are likely in 2027. There is no public confirmation of a 2026 leg.

Rumors, speculation, and possible sources of the “2026” claim
Since no solid announcement backs “Chris Martin Bids the World 2026 Tour,” the idea may stem from one or more of the following:
1. Misinterpretation of the “138 shows” remark
Fans and media often interpret that these “138 shows” will begin immediately (i.e. in 2026) after the 2025 run. But Martin’s public phrasing suggests a break before continuing, and his indication is toward 2027.
2. Fan-created itineraries or promotional mockups
Enthusiastic fans or speculative blogs sometimes create fictional schedules to generate excitement or clicks, even when no official confirmation exists.
3. Confusion between a “Chris Martin solo tour” and Coldplay tour
The phrasing “Chris Martin Bids the World” may give a sense of a solo or new branding, which could further muddle matters — but there’s no credible evidence of a solo “Chris Martin tour” for 2026 in mainstream sources.
4. Leaks that never materialize
Sometimes small hints or rumors leak in fan forums or social media and get widely repeated before being confirmed (or debunked). Currently, I found no reputable music-industry source (e.g. Billboard, NME, Rolling Stone)
that lists a 2026 Chris Martin tour.
A dramatic announcement: Chris Martin, solo or with Coldplay, unveils “Bids the World” tour, billed as a global celebration of unity, music, climate, and return to live connection.
Tour is framed as bridging gaps, reaching new territories (especially Africa, parts of Asia), and revisiting staples.
