The British rock band, known for their global hits and vibrant performances, started their world tour, named the ‘Music Of The Spheres’ World Tour, in Athens. Tickets sold out quickly when released in 2023. The tour has been breaking sales records and reinforcing Coldplay’s status as one of the most influential music acts worldwide.
On Friday night, tens of thousands of fans danced to Coldplay’s music at a spectacular concert held at the Olympic Stadium of Athens, touted by many as the music event of the year for Athens. The concert featured countless LED wristbands, colourful balloons shaped like the Earth as a nod to the band’s environmental strategy, and impressive sparklers.
Among the attendees were Greece’s Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis and the main opposition SYRIZA leader Stefanos Kasselakis, who attended with his partner Tyler Macbeth.
Coldplay’s frontman, Chris Martin, addressed the crowd in perfect Greek, expressing the band’s gratitude for the opportunity to perform in Greece. “Music seems to be able to overcome divisions and bring people closer together,” he said on stage.
