COLDPLAY, ED SHEERAN, AND IMAGINE DRAGONS JOIN FORCES FOR THE 2026 “HARMONY OF LIGHT” WORLD TOUR — A GLOBAL CELEBRATION OF MUSIC, UNITY, AND EMOTION
In what can only be described as a historic moment for live music, Coldplay, Ed Sheeran, and Imagine Dragons have officially announced a joint world tour for 2026 titled “Harmony of Light.” The announcement, made simultaneously across all three artists’ social media platforms, has sent shockwaves through the global music community — and fans are already calling it “the most powerful collaboration of the decade.”
The tour promises to be more than just a concert series; it’s being billed as a global celebration of music, unity, and human connection, bringing together three of the biggest names in modern pop and rock for an unforgettable experience.
A TOUR YEARS IN THE MAKING
For years, fans have dreamt of seeing Coldplay, Ed Sheeran, and Imagine Dragons share one stage. Each artist represents a different emotional energy — Coldplay’s uplifting anthems, Sheeran’s heartfelt storytelling, and Imagine Dragons’ thunderous power — and together, they’re creating what insiders describe as a “sonic journey through light, hope, and emotion.”
The Harmony of Light Tour will kick off in June 2026 in Los Angeles, California, before heading across North America, Europe, Asia, South America, and Australia. The massive global trek will conclude with a series of special finale shows at London’s Wembley Stadium in December 2026.
In a joint statement, the artists said:
“This tour is about unity. The world has faced so many challenges, and we believe music can bring people together in ways nothing else can. ‘Harmony of Light’ is our way of celebrating love, peace, and the power of sound.”
THE TOUR EXPERIENCE — MUSIC THAT CONNECTS THE WORLD
What sets the Harmony of Light Tour apart is its design. According to Coldplay’s creative director Phil Harvey, the tour will feature a 360-degree stage setup with immersive light projections, eco-powered visuals, and interactive wristbands that sync with the music — creating a shared, colorful experience for the audience.
Each show will be divided into three acts, one led by each artist, with all three coming together for special collaborative moments throughout the night. Fans can expect to hear iconic songs like Coldplay’s “Viva La Vida” and “A Sky Full of Stars,” Sheeran’s “Perfect” and “Shape of You,” and Imagine Dragons’ “Believer” and “Radioactive.”
But perhaps most exciting is the confirmation that the trio has recorded new music together exclusively for the tour. Their first joint single, titled “Lights Will Lead Us Home,” is set to release in early 2026, and it will serve as the tour’s official theme song.
Dan Reynolds, frontman of Imagine Dragons, teased:
“It’s a song about finding hope in the darkest times. When we wrote it, it felt like all our sounds came together naturally — the power of rock, the heart of pop, and the soul of storytelling.”

A MESSAGE OF UNITY AND SUSTAINABILITY
Beyond music, the Harmony of Light Tour is designed to send a message of hope and responsibility. The artists have announced that the entire tour will follow Coldplay’s sustainable touring model, using renewable energy, recyclable materials, and reduced carbon emissions. A portion of every ticket sold will go toward environmental charities and global education programs for children.
Ed Sheeran shared his excitement in a heartfelt post:
“We all come from different sounds and stories, but we believe in the same thing — that music has the power to heal, connect, and remind us that we’re never alone. This tour is a celebration of that belief.”
Chris Martin echoed the sentiment, adding:
“It’s not just about performing songs — it’s about lighting up the world, one city at a time.”
FANS REACT — “A DREAM COME TRUE”
Within minutes of the announcement, social media erupted with excitement. Hashtags like #HarmonyOfLightTour and #ColdplayEdDragons trended worldwide as fans expressed disbelief and joy. Many called the collaboration a “once-in-a-lifetime event,” noting that the emotional power of these three artists performing together could create some of the most memorable live moments in modern music history.
Music critics have already described Harmony of Light as a groundbreaking concept — one that blends intimacy with grandeur and emotion with spectacle.
A NEW ERA OF LIVE MUSIC
With Coldplay’s celestial visuals, Ed Sheeran’s raw authenticity, and Imagine Dragons’ explosive energy, the Harmony of Light Tour 2026 is shaping up to be an experience that transcends genre, language, and culture.
As Chris Martin said during the announcement livestream:
“We want everyone — no matter where they’re from — to feel seen, heard, and lifted. That’s the real harmony we’re chasing.”
Come 2026, the world won’t just be watching a concert.
It will be witnessing a movement of light, love, and sound — the greatest harmony of them all.
