Coldplay said in a statement:
“When we first announced the Music of the Spheres tour, we wanted to make this tour as environmentally friendly as possible and to reduce direct carbon emissions (from show production, freight, moving bands and staff). We wanted to reduce our emissions by 50% and I would like to share our progress, some things work, some things need improvement.
Emissions data for the first 12 months of the tour were collated, evaluated and independently verified by Professor John E. Fernandez of the MIT Environmental Solutions Initiative.
In a show-by-show comparison, the Music of the Spheres Tour has so far produced 47% less CO2e than the previous Stadium Tour (2016-2017).
This is a good start and something our wonderful staff should be very proud of, but clearly there is still room for improvement.
Now in its second year of touring, we have started running the entire show (sound, lighting, lasers, etc.) on a battery system that utilizes 100% renewable energy as efficiently as possible. We use electric vehicles and alternative fuels wherever possible, and minimize waste and plastic use.
Thank you to all the talented people and creative spirits who have helped us along the way.
A big thank you to everyone who came to the show and made all of this possible. You helped recharge the batteries for the show with power bikes and a kinetic dance floor. Traveled to the show on foot, by bike, or by public transport. I used a recycled box. Carpool. I brought a refillable water bottle. I returned the LED wristband after the show. And just by being here, you’ve planted trees and supported various environmental groups like The Ocean Cleanup and ClientEarth.
Thanks to all of you. Hopefully by this time next year there will be big improvements. If anyone has an idea feel free to send it through this link.
with love
Coldplay”
