British rock band Coldplay have headlined eight concert tours and numerous promotional shows, music festivals, broadcast media events and other live performances. Considered one of the most prolific live acts from the United Kingdom, they have visited all continents except Antarctica. Their debut was officially held at London's Laurel Tree in 1998. A year before, however, drummer and percussionist Will Champion busked in Covent Garden alongside vocalist and pianist Chris Martin, becoming the first version of the group to engage with an audience. Since then, Coldplay expanded their stagings for theatres, arenas and stadiums on the A Rush of Blood to the Head (2002–03), Twisted Logic (2005–07) and Viva la Vida (2008–10) tours.
The former was preceded by multiple warm-up shows, with one of them being a headlining performance at Coachella. According to Pollstar, the band earned $142.9 million from 2.6 million tickets sold in North America in the 2000s decade. The promotion of Mylo Xyloto (2011) then saw Coldplay headline festivals such as Glastonbury, Lollapalooza, Austin City Limits, and Rock in Rio. Its namesake tour was the first ever to include LED wristbands and the group have been widely credited with popularising the feature. Shows in Latin America were scheduled for 2013 as well, but ended up getting cancelled. In 2014, Ghost Stories prompted a return to theatres, matching the intimacy of the album.
Conversely, the A Head Full of Dreams Tour (2016–17) saw Coldplay performing exclusively at stadiums in all countries except the United States, which also included arena dates. It became one of the highest-grossing concert runs of all time, with over $523 million from 5.38 million tickets sold across 114 nights. In February 2016, their Super Bowl 50 halftime show set had the biggest audience ever for a group. Months later, they headlined Glastonbury for a record fourth time. While marketing Everyday Life (2019), Coldplay paused touring to address environmental concerns. The album was instead advertised with charity events and a special performance broadcast from the Amman Citadel to the world via YouTube.
In 2021, the band played at the Brit Awards for an eighth time, breaking the record for most sets at the ceremony. The year also saw them announcing the Music of the Spheres World Tour (2022–25), which included an ecological plan to reduce CO2 emissions by 50%, in comparison to their previous concert run. Coldplay were credited with ushering into a new era of sustainable touring with the endeavour, consequently becoming "pioneers" for the future of live entertainment. The first 164 shows have grossed more than $1.059 billion from 9.6 million tickets sold, marking the group's second entry on the list of highest-grossing tours of all time. Publications noticed they were responsible for improving local economies as well. In 2024, Coldplay were musical guests on Saturday Night Live for an eighth time, the most for an international act. Moreover, the band have been ranked among the highest-earning live music artists in history, with $2.02 billion from 21.3 million admissions sold throughout their career (starting from February 2001).
