Coldplay says Music of the Speheres tour is sustainable and inclusive
Coldplay has vouched to make the ongoing tour sustainable. The band pledged to cut the tour’s direct emissions by more than 50% compared to their previous tours of 2016 and 2017.
The band in a statement noted:
"Despite our best efforts, the tour will still have a significant carbon footprint. We pledge to drawdown more CO2 than the tour produces supporting projects based on reforestation, rewilding, conservation, soil regeneration, carbon capture & storage and renewable energy."
It further added:
"As part of this pledge, the tour will fund the planting – and lifelong protection of – millions of new trees including one tree for every ticket sold."
The band has also partnered with collaborators to make their concerts accessible to everyone. The band notes:
“We want our concerts to be accessible to everyone, and for everyone to have the best possible experience.”
Some attempts include offering local sign language interpreters as well as Subpacs for deaf and hard-of-hearing guests. There will also be provisions made for attendees with sensory sensitivities and who are blind or have low vision.
