Will Coldplay Be Touring For Their New Album 'Everyday Life'?

Coldplay is looking to see how to make their concerts environmentally friendly, leading to the band’s decision to put their tour on hold. Frontman Chris Martin revealed that the band would be taking some time off over the next year or two to figure out how their concerts can be “actively beneficial.”

Just ahead of the release of their latest album “Everyday Life,” the band will be putting on a couple of performances before their hiatus in order to figure out how to save the environment through their tours. Speaking with BBC on the issue, Martin said, “How can we harness the resources that our tour creates and make it have a positive impact?" Chris added that he hopes to perform on a show that enforces no single-use plastic and be powered by solar energy.

To commemorate the release of their double album “Everyday Life,” Coldplay will be performing two shows in Amman, Jordan this Friday in time for the release of their new album. For those not able to attend, the concert will be live-streamed on YouTube.

The following week, the band will be heading to London to play at the Natural History Museum. The group’s website states that all their ticket sales for their London show will go towards the charity organization called ClientEarth, which focuses on using the law to protect the environment.

Coldplay’s last tour was in 2016 for their album “A Head Full of Dreams,” which marked the bands return to bigger venues after using more intimate settings for their “Ghost Stories” tour. It’ll be the first time that the band wouldn’t be touring for an album in their career. They have been quite active supporting different causes socially and politically.

The band announced their latest album at Global Citizen this year and sent out a letter to fans in October about their eighth studio album. The new record was revealed to be a double album, with the first half called Sunrise while the other is Sunset. Their latest single, “Daddy,” hit the airwaves earlier this week on Nov. 20.

The album “Everyday Life” releases on Friday.
