Coldplay’s “Music of the Spheres” world tour is set to light up Nissan Stadium on Tuesday, July 22, bringing the band back to Nashville after more than 15 years. In the meantime, let’s revisit the three times they’ve played in Music City.
- March 7, 2003 | Ryman Auditorium | Coldplay made their Nashville debut during the “A Rush of Blood to the Head” tour, performing tracks from their first two albums. The concert ended with a live rendition of Leon Payne’s “Lost Highway,” famously covered by Hank Williams Sr.
- Sept. 18, 2005 | Starwood Amphitheatre | The band returned two years later at the now-defunct amphitheater, where they treated fans to another country cover: Johnny Cash’s “Ring of Fire.”
- June 6, 2009 | Sommet Center | The last time Coldplay performed in Nashville, Bridgestone Arena had a different name. The “Viva la Vida” tour featured plenty of confetti, bouncing balloons, and flashing lights — a signature part of their live shows.
Tickets for the 2025 concert go on sale Friday, Oct. 11.
