Coldplay To Stop Touring Until They Find An Environmental-Friendly Way To Do Concerts
Coldplay fans, today is the day you’ve all been waiting for as the band officially releases their latest album titled ‘Everyday Life’.
The long-anticipated album comes after ‘A Head Full Of Dreams’, which debuted back in 2015.
Coldplay is also well-known for their fun and interactive concerts so as a fan, we know you’re looking forward to catching them in the flesh again.
But you might be disappointed because the band has decided to stop going on tours in an effort to go green (or atleast until they find an environmental-friendly solution).
Coldplay's new album art. According to BBC, frontman Chris Martin says that they will not go on tour to promote their album until they could offer carbon-neutral concerts.
“We’re taking time over the next year or two to work out how our tour can not only be sustainable but how can it be actively beneficial,” Martin told BBC.
“Our next tour will be the best possible version of a tour like that environmentally. We would be disappointed if it’s not carbon neutral. The hardest thing is the flying side of things,” he said.
This was part of the 'A Head Full Of Dreams' concert. “But, for example, our dream is to have a show with no single use plastic, to have it largely solar-powered. We’ve done a lot of big tours at this point. How do we turn it around so it’s not so much taking as giving?”
The last time Coldplay went on tour was from 2016 to 2017 for their ‘A Head Full Of Dreams’ album.
Quite frankly, we’re very proud of their efforts but a little sad because this means it’ll probably take years until who knows when for us to catch our favourite band in action once again.
