Coldplay have shared an update about the sustainability initiatives they have implemented on their ongoing tour, and been praised as “setting a new standard” when it comes to an eco-conscious approach to live music.The band – who have always been conscious of the environmental impact of touring – shared an update on the sustainability results they have achieved so far earlier today (June 2).The ‘Music Of The Spheres’ tour, which began back in March 2022 and has sold over 9million tickets so far, has been revealed to have already produced 59 per cent less CO2e emissions than their previous stadium tour in 2016 and 2017. This already beats the original target that Chris Martin and co.
had set to ensure they beat those of previous tours by 50 per cent.It has also been revealed that 7million trees have been planted globally thanks to the success of the live shows. This comes as a result of the band promising to have one tree planted for every person who attends the tour.“When we first announced the ‘Music Of The Spheres Tour’ in 2021, we pledged to reduce our direct carbon emissions (from show production, freight, band and crew travel) by at least 50 per cent,” the band wrote in a new statement.
“We’re happy to report that direct CO2e emissions from the first two years of this tour are 59 per cent less than our previous stadium tour (2016-17), on a show-by-show comparison. These figures have been verified by the MIT Environmental Solutions Initiative.“We’d like to say a huge thank you to our incredible touring family and to all the brilliant people who’ve made this possible.
