Coldplay news

Coldplay has unveiled the track listing for its 10th album, Moon Music, appearing in stores and on streaming services October 4 (see below).

A new single featuring Burna Boy, Little Simz, Elyanna and Tini, is slated for next Friday.

Moon Music will set new standards for sustainability, with each LP made from 100% recycled plastic bottles (nine per record). It is available to pre-order now on EcoCD, EcoRecord LP and download. The album can also be pre-saved on Spotify.

Previously, a Balearic remix of first single "Feels Like I'm Falling in Love, was created alongside Brazilian electronic artist Zerb in the band’s backstage studio during some Dusseldorf stadium shows. Footage of Coldplay’s Chris Martin and Jonny Buckland recording new guitar parts for the remix can be seen here, while Zerb shared a behind-the-scenes look at the Dusseldorf studio session here. The video - featuring Chris Martin and dancer Christian Fandrey - was then filmed on the streets of Helsinki between the band’s four sold-out shows at the city’s Olympiastadion.

Coldplay's Music of the Spheres World Tour began in March 2022. This past June, the band said that the jaunt, currently in Munich, has produced 59% less CO2e emissions than their previous stadium tour in 2016/17 and exceeded the original target of a 50% reduction. Nine million trees have been planted (one for each ticket sold).
