Coldplay Australia Tour 2027

Coldplay have not announced any concerts in Australia or New Zealand for 2027. As of 9 October 2026 there is no date, city or venue for the band anywhere in the region, and no 2027 concert of theirs has been announced in Europe or North America either. The Music of the Spheres World Tour paused at Wembley Stadium in London on 12 September 2025, and the band have said they expect to restart it in 2027, without any schedule so far.

Their most recent concerts here were among the largest the region has hosted: two nights at Optus Stadium in Perth in November 2023, then four at Marvel Stadium in Melbourne, four at Accor Stadium in Sydney and three at Eden Park in Auckland between 30 October and 16 November 2024. That made eleven stadium shows in under three weeks, after a single Perth weekend a year earlier.

This page explains what is and is not known about 2027, then goes through Coldplay's documented concerts in the region: the Big Day Out and club shows of 2001, Splendour in the Grass in 2003 and 2011, the arena tours of 2006 and 2009, and the stadium tours of 2012, 2016 and 2023–24.

Coldplay Australia Tour 2027: what is announced so far

There is no official information about Coldplay concerts in Australia or New Zealand in 2027. The only public statement is the one recorded when the Music of the Spheres World Tour reached its last 2025 shows at Wembley: the tour was paused, and the band expect to restart in 2027. No city, country, month or venue has been attached to that restart, and no tickets exist for it.

It is worth being careful with that phrase. A restart in 2027 does not mean a return to Australia in 2027. The tour already played Perth in 2023 and Melbourne, Sydney and Auckland in 2024, and the band have typically visited this part of the world once per album cycle: 2009, 2012, 2016 and 2023–24. Moon Music (2024) has not yet had dedicated Australian dates beyond the 2024 shows, which were part of the same tour.

Coldplay have usually announced Australian and New Zealand dates many months in advance, with presales for fans who register and a general sale a few days later. If a 2027 leg is announced, it will appear on this page with dates, venues and sale times.

Until then, any list of 2027 Coldplay dates in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Perth or Auckland, and any '2027 presale code' offered online, should be treated as unconfirmed. Sign up for the alert below to hear as soon as there is real news.

Before the Coldplay Australia Tour 2027: Australia/NZ concert history

Coldplay first came to the region on the Big Day Out of January 2001, the summer that Parachutes and 'Yellow' broke them worldwide. The setlist archive documents their Auckland set on Friday 19 January 2001, and they played the Australian dates of that festival as well. They came back for their own shows in August 2001: Festival Hall in Melbourne on 5 August, the Enmore Theatre and the Hordern Pavilion in Sydney on 7 and 8 August, Festival Hall in Brisbane on 10 August and the St James Theatre in Auckland on 12 August 2001, after earlier stops at Metropolis in Fremantle and the Thebarton Theatre in Adelaide.

A Rush of Blood to the Head brought them back in July 2003, with Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne on Friday 18 July, Splendour in the Grass at Belongil Fields in Byron Bay on Sunday 20 July, two nights at the Hordern Pavilion on 21 and 22 July and the Auckland Showgrounds on 24 July 2003. The Twisted Logic Tour for X&Y followed in June and July 2006: two nights at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre, three at the Sydney Entertainment Centre, three at Rod Laver Arena, then the Adelaide Entertainment Centre on 5 July and the Burswood Dome in Perth on 7 July 2006.

The Viva la Vida Tour of early 2009 was their biggest arena visit: the Burswood Dome in Perth on 27 and 28 February, three nights at Rod Laver Arena from 3 to 5 March, two at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre, four at Acer Arena in Sydney (11, 12, 14 and 15 March) and two at Vector Arena in Auckland on 18 and 19 March 2009. On 14 March they also played a short set at the Sound Relief benefit concert at the Sydney Cricket Ground before their Acer Arena show that night.

Mylo Xyloto moved them into stadiums. In November 2012 they played Mount Smart Stadium in Auckland on Saturday 10 November, Etihad Stadium in Melbourne on 13 November, two nights at Allianz Stadium in Sydney on 17 and 18 November and Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane on 21 November 2012. For Ghost Stories, which had no full tour, they played a single intimate show at the Enmore Theatre on Thursday 19 June 2014. A Head Full of Dreams then returned to the same stadiums in December 2016: Mount Smart on 3 December, Suncorp on 6 December, Etihad on 9 and 10 December and Allianz on 13 and 14 December 2016.

The Music of the Spheres World Tour began its Oceania story with two nights at Optus Stadium in Perth on Saturday 18 and Sunday 19 November 2023, then came back a year later for Marvel Stadium in Melbourne (30 and 31 October, 2 and 3 November 2024), Accor Stadium in Sydney (6, 7, 9 and 10 November) and Eden Park in Auckland (13, 15 and 16 November 2024). Those were their first shows at Optus Stadium, Accor Stadium and Eden Park and remain their most recent concerts in the region.

The table below lists 60 documented Australia/NZ concerts by Coldplay between 2001 and 2024, with the most shows in Sydney (20), Melbourne (15), Auckland (10), Brisbane (7), Perth (5), Woodford (1). It is not exhaustive: it only includes documented shows.

Coldplay Australia Tour 2027 and Australia/NZ festivals

Coldplay's festival history in the region is short but notable. They played the Big Day Out in January 2001, with the Auckland date documented on 19 January 2001. They headlined Splendour in the Grass twice: at Belongil Fields in Byron Bay on 20 July 2003, and at Woodfordia in Queensland on Sunday 31 July 2011, a few months before Mylo Xyloto was released, with an 18-song set that previewed 'Hurts Like Heaven', 'Major Minus' and 'Us Against the World'.

On 14 March 2009 they also took part in Sound Relief at the Sydney Cricket Ground, the benefit for the Victorian bushfire and Queensland flood appeals, playing a short set that included a cover of John Farnham's 'You're the Voice'.

Coldplay Australia Tour 2027: career and records

Coldplay were formed in London in 1997 and are Chris Martin (vocals, piano), Jonny Buckland (lead guitar), Guy Berryman (bass) and Will Champion (drums), with manager Phil Harvey credited as a full member. After the EP Safety (1998) they signed to Parlophone and released Parachutes in 2000, with the breakthrough single 'Yellow'; it reached No. 2 in Australia and won the Brit Award for British Album of the Year and a Grammy.

A Rush of Blood to the Head (2002) earned the same awards and was their first Australian No. 1. X&Y (2005) and Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends (2008) both topped charts in more than 30 countries and were the best-selling albums of their years worldwide; 'Viva la Vida' was the first song by a British act in the 21st century to top the US and UK charts at the same time.

Mylo Xyloto (2011), Ghost Stories (2014), A Head Full of Dreams (2015), Everyday Life (2019), Music of the Spheres (2021) and Moon Music (2024) drew on electronica, R&B, disco, gospel and more. All but A Head Full of Dreams reached No. 1 in Australia. 'My Universe', from Music of the Spheres, was the first song by a British group to debut at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.

With more than 170 million records sold, Coldplay are among the best-selling acts of all time and hold the record for most Brit Awards won by a band. The Music of the Spheres World Tour is the most-attended tour ever and the first by a band to gross more than US$1 billion.

Coldplay Australia Tour 2027: what 'restart in 2027' means

The phrase comes from the end of the 2025 shows: the Music of the Spheres World Tour paused at Wembley on 12 September 2025, with the band expecting to restart in 2027. It is a statement of intent, not an itinerary. No region has been named, and nothing suggests Australia or New Zealand would be early in any restart, given that both countries were visited in 2023 and 2024.

For Australian fans the practical consequence is that there is nothing to buy and nothing to register for yet. When Coldplay do announce new dates, the usual sequence is an announcement with all cities, a registration or fan presale, then a general sale.

Coldplay Australia Tour 2027: the Perth weekend of 2023

Perth had to wait a long time for Coldplay. The Burswood Dome hosted them in 2006 and 2009, but none of the stadium tours of 2012 and 2016 went west. In November 2023 the Music of the Spheres tour played two nights at Optus Stadium, as the only Australian city that year and a year before the east-coast dates.

The shows were supported by a partnership with the West Australian government, which included a contest for local musicians, and the setlist archive notes an improvised 'Song for Australia' near the end of the 18 November set.

Coldplay Australia Tour 2027: Melbourne and Sydney: four nights each

In 2024 Coldplay played four nights at Marvel Stadium in Melbourne and four at Accor Stadium in Sydney, their longest runs in either city. Earlier visits peaked at three nights at Rod Laver Arena (2006 and 2009) and two at Etihad Stadium (2016) in Melbourne, and at four arena nights at Acer Arena (2009) and two stadium nights at Allianz Stadium (2012 and 2016) in Sydney.

Etihad Stadium is the same Docklands venue now called Marvel Stadium, so Melbourne's stadium shows have all been under its roof. Sydney moved from the Allianz Stadium at Moore Park, since rebuilt, to the larger Accor Stadium at Sydney Olympic Park in 2024.

Coldplay Australia Tour 2027: Auckland and Eden Park

Auckland is the one New Zealand city in Coldplay's documented history: the Big Day Out in 2001, the St James Theatre the same year, the Showgrounds in 2003, Vector Arena in 2009, Mount Smart Stadium in 2012 and 2016, and three nights at Eden Park on 13, 15 and 16 November 2024.

The three Eden Park nights were the last of the 2024 Oceania leg and the band's most recent concerts in the region. No New Zealand date has been announced since.

Coldplay Australia Tour 2027: what to expect live

Coldplay's Australian shows have grown from short festival and theatre sets of around a dozen songs in 2001 to stadium shows of 21 to 25 songs. The Music of the Spheres sets of 2023 and 2024 opened with 'Higher Power', 'Adventure of a Lifetime' and 'Paradise', ran through 'The Scientist', 'Viva la Vida', 'Hymn for the Weekend', 'Yellow', 'Clocks', 'Something Just Like This' and 'My Universe', and closed with 'A Sky Full of Stars', 'Sparks', 'Fix You' and a final song from Moon Music on the 2024 dates.

The band often add a song written on the spot for the city: the setlist archive shows 'Sydney in the Rain' and 'Christmas with the Kangaroos' at Allianz Stadium in December 2016, 'Song for Australia' in Perth in 2023 and 'The Jumbotron Song' in Auckland in 2024. The Music of the Spheres production uses LED wristbands for every fan, kinetic dance floors and a B-stage in the crowd.

There is no set list for 2027 because there are no 2027 shows in the region. The list of most-played songs on this page is based on documented past concerts only.

Coldplay Australia Tour 2027 tickets and presales

There are no tickets for Coldplay concerts in Australia or New Zealand in 2027, because none have been announced. Any website selling 2027 seats, 'pre-registration' for a fee or a 2027 'presale code' is not official.

If new dates are announced, expect presales before a general sale. Buy only from official outlets or venue box offices and remember that stadium tickets are usually mobile and linked to the buyer's name.

Sign up below for the alert and you will hear as soon as an official Australian or New Zealand date is published.
