The British pop rock band promises to plant one tree for every ticket purchased. In the previous tour, well over five million tickets were sold.
British rock band Coldplay announced two years ago that they would take a break from extensive tours.
“Our next tour will be the best possible version of the eco-friendly tour. We’re disappointed if it’s not carbon neutral, ”the band’s singer Chris Martin said then.
Thursday the band announced a six-month world tour from South America via North America to Europe, where climate questions have been answered, at least according to the band itself.
The British band will go on tour with a 12-point program that will help the orchestra reduce its carbon footprint. According to the listing, the electricity required by the concerts will be arranged on a kinetic floor, for example, which will generate electricity when the audience bounces. “We also have bikes for the same purpose,” Chris Martin says In a recent BBC interview.
The band unveiled their world tour program on Thursday. Performances begin in March with a concert in San Jose, Costa Rica, and end in August in Glasgow, UK.
The last time the band toured the world extensively was in 2015 and 2017.
According to the BBC the band’s upcoming tour will use solar energy, and the band also commits to flying as little as possible. In addition, energy-efficient technology will be used to illuminate the concerts, and the plan also includes planting one tree for every ticket sold.
More than five million tickets were sold for the 2017 tour.
The band Chris Martin, representing the BBC, admits in an interview with the BBC that flying in connection with the tour will provoke criticism.
“We try our best and we’re not perfect yet,” Martin says.
The band also says they are still considering additional ways to make touring more climate-friendly. The band, for example, says they are thinking of ways in which the audience could arrive at the scene with the least possible emissions.
Plans for the upcoming Music of the Spheres world tour include a mobile app. It advises the public on the most climate-friendly route, using which the band promises a discount code to anyone who has done so.
