Coldplay announce huge Glasgow gig as part of 2022 world tour

Coldplay have announced a huge Glasgow gig as part of their worldwide tour taking place next year.

The Music of the Spheres tour will begin in March 2022 and will see the band play at Hampden Park on August 23 2022.

The climate conscious tour will partly be powered by a dancefloor that generates electricity when fans jump up and down.

There will also be bikes on site which will help generate power.

The band released a statement on social media alongside the news of the tour and said: "Playing live and finding connection with people is ultimately why we exist as a band.

"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 tours potential to push things forward.

"We won't get everything right, but we are 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."

Tickets will go on sale to the general public next week on Friday, October 22 at 10am, you can buy them from Gigs in Scotland or Ticketmaster.
