The announcement came during a live global broadcast streamed across major platforms, where Chris Martin addressed millions of fans. Holding back emotion, he said:

A Legacy Etched in Music and Emotion
Coldplay’s journey began in the late 1990s, when four young men — Chris Martin, Jonny Buckland, Guy Berryman, and Will Champion — formed a band that would soon redefine modern rock. Their debut album Parachutes (2000), featuring the hauntingly beautiful “Yellow,” catapulted them into stardom. Over the following decades, Coldplay’s sound evolved from introspective ballads to grand, euphoric soundscapes, producing hits like “Fix You,” “Viva La Vida,” “Paradise,” and “A Sky Full of Stars.”
Each era of Coldplay’s career carried a message — of hope, connection, and emotional honesty. The band’s live shows became legendary for their energy and inclusivity, often featuring dazzling light shows, interactive wristbands, and moments of pure unity where tens of thousands of fans sang as one.
Chris Martin’s Emotional Message to Fans
In his announcement, Martin made it clear that this farewell tour isn’t the end of Coldplay’s music — but rather, the end of their life on the road.
> “We’re not saying goodbye to music,” he said. “We’ll always be writing, creating, and dreaming. But this tour will be our last journey around the world together as Coldplay — a thank you to everyone who’s ever shared a song, a concert, or a moment with us.”
He also expressed deep appreciation to the millions of fans who have supported the band for nearly 30 years. “You’ve been our family,” he said. “You’ve given us purpose and joy beyond anything we imagined. This final tour is for you.”
Sustainability and Celebration
True to their values, Coldplay’s final tour will continue their groundbreaking commitment to sustainability. The band confirmed that the Farewell World Tour will be powered by renewable energy, use recyclable materials, and contribute to global reforestation projects — continuing the environmental mission that defined their recent tours.
“We want our last tour to leave something good behind,” Martin noted. “Every show will be about connection — to each other, to the Earth, and to the spirit of music.”
The Final Bow
As the band prepares for this monumental journey, fans around the world are already calling it the “end of an era.” For many, Coldplay’s songs have been the soundtrack of their lives — from love stories to heartbreaks, from hope to healing.
The 2026 farewell tour promises to be a breathtaking celebration of everything the band has stood for: light, love, and the power of music to unite hearts across the world.
When Coldplay takes their final bow in London next December, it won’t just mark the end of a band’s touring career — it will mark the closing of a chapter in modern music history.
Tickets go on sale next month. Fans are encouraged to register early — because this farewell, three decades in the making, will truly be the concert event of a lifetime.
