"Playing live and finding connection with people is ultimately why we exist as a band," said Coldplay in a statement. "We've been planning this tour for years, and we're super excited to play songs from across our whole time together. At the same time, we're very conscious that the planet is facing a climate crisis. So we've spent the last two years consulting with environmental experts to make this tour as sustainable as possible, and, just as importantly, to harness the tour's potential to push things forward. We won't get everything right, but we're committed to doing everything we can and sharing what we learn. It's a work in progress and we're really grateful for the help we've had so far."
