Chris Martin has already let slip that Coldplay's biggest tour yet is far from over, and the clues to where it goes next are piling up fast.

During the band's Wembley Stadium run in September 2025, Martin told the crowd the Music Of The Spheres tour has "138 more shows to go" and that 2027 dates would be revealed "soon." Since then, fans have been piecing together clues about where Coldplay might play next, from a possible South African debut to a fresh run through London and Europe. Here's everything pointing to where, and when, they'll turn up.

2022 Tour kicks off in Costa Rica

2025 10-night Wembley residency, tour pauses

2027 Rumoured return (unconfirmed)

Chris Martin's "138 More Shows" Tease: What We Actually Know

The only real information about a 2027 tour comes from Martin himself, speaking to the crowd at Wembley Stadium on 6 September 2025.

He also teased a mysterious project the band had "been making for years and years." That's since been widely linked to Coldplay's twelfth and reportedly final conventional studio album, plus a new stage production for the next leg.

✔ WHAT'S CONFIRMED More shows are coming. Chris Martin said so himself, on record, at Wembley.

? WHAT'S RUMOUR Every specific city, venue and date, including London, Europe and South Africa.

Could Coldplay's 2027 Tour Return to London and Wembley Stadium?

No UK dates have been confirmed for 2027. But the pattern is hard to ignore.

🇬🇧 Coldplay played Wembley Stadium in 2016, 2017, and across an unprecedented ten-night residency in 2025, making it comfortably their home ground for major UK shows. Fans in Wembley crowds also reported security staff hinting at "UK dates in 2027," alongside online chatter about a possible return to Manchester or a run at London's O2 Arena, though neither has been confirmed by the band.

If you missed out on the 2025 run, it's worth reading back on how fans secured tickets for Coldplay's last UK dates for a sense of how quickly these shows tend to sell out.

Other European Cities Coldplay Could Visit in 2027

Fan speculation hasn't stopped at the UK border. Coldplay's stage design during the 2025 Wembley shows featured a rotating globe that appeared to highlight Europe and Africa, fuelling theories about where the next leg might land.

🇮🇪 Ireland is a strong contender given Coldplay's consistent Dublin sell-outs on past legs. Fans have also floated a fresh 🇪🇸 Spanish run, building on rumours of shows in Barcelona and beyond, plus a likely return to 🇩🇪 Germany with Munich among the favourites given the band's history there.

Elsewhere in Europe, past touring patterns point to 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Glasgow, 🇬🇧 Liverpool, 🇮🇹 Rome, 🇦🇹 Vienna, 🇭🇺 Budapest, 🇬🇷 Athens, 🇷🇴 Bucharest and 🇫🇮 Helsinki as realistic stops, alongside a possible French date in 🇫🇷 Lyon. None of these are confirmed. They're informed guesses based on where Coldplay have reliably drawn huge crowds before.

Southern Africa: The Strongest Hint for Coldplay's 2027 Return

The single most specific clue so far is Africa, not Europe. Martin reportedly told fans the tour would resume "somewhere in southern Africa in about 18 months," a comment picked up by regional outlets in South Africa.

🇿🇦 Coldplay last played South Africa in 2011, in Cape Town and Johannesburg. Africa is also the only inhabited continent the Music Of The Spheres tour skipped entirely between 2022 and 2025, which is exactly why this comment has fans convinced a first return in over a decade is coming.

New Music and Album 11: What It Means for the 2027 Tour

Coldplay have long planned to release twelve studio albums before retiring the "Coldplay" name for conventional records. Chris Martin has described album eleven as "a musical," suggesting a longer production timeline than a standard rock record.

A new album era typically precedes a Coldplay tour announcement by several months, so expect any 2027 dates to be tied to fresh material rather than a straight victory-lap extension of Music Of The Spheres.

Record	Figure
