Coldplay is currently in the midst of their massive Music of the Spheres World Tour. According to figures reported to Billboard Boxscore, the run has grossed $945.7 million and sold 8.8 million tickets since launching in March 2022. That makes it both the highest-grossing and best-selling trek among rock acts in the almost 40 years that Boxscore has been tracking concert data.
The group is gearing up to release their 10th studio album, Moon Music, which is set to drop on Oct. 4 and and is led by LP’s first single, “feelslikeimfallinginlove.” In line with the foursome’s long-standing eco-ethics, Coldplay has “gone to great lengths” to make the physical release of Moon Music “as sustainable as possible,” according to a statement.
Each 140g LP will contain some nine recycled PET-plastic bottles recovered from post-consumer waste, and the CD version is said be the “world’s first” to be released on EcoCD, created from 90% recycled polycarbonate, also sourced from post-consumer waste.
