In a moment fans have been dreaming about for years, **Chris Martin** and **Imagine Dragons** have officially announced a massive **joint 2026 World Tour**, uniting two of the biggest stadium-filling forces in modern music. The announcement instantly set social media alight, with fans calling it one of the most exciting live-music collaborations of the decade.
The tour will see Martin stepping beyond his role as frontman of **Coldplay**, joining Imagine Dragons on stage for select collaborative performances while both acts deliver full headline-length sets each night. According to organizers, the shows are designed as a shared experience rather than a simple co-headline—blending visuals, themes, and moments where the artists perform together.
The 2026 tour kicks off in **March in Los Angeles**, before sweeping across **North America**, with confirmed stops in New York, Chicago, Toronto, Mexico City, and São Paulo. From there, the tour heads to **Europe**, including London, Paris, Berlin, Madrid, Milan, and Amsterdam. **Asia and Oceania** follow in late summer, with dates announced for Tokyo, Seoul, Singapore, Sydney, and Melbourne. The final leg takes place in **Africa and the Middle East**, with landmark shows planned in Cape Town, Johannesburg, Dubai, and Abu Dhabi.
Musically, fans can expect a powerful mix of Imagine Dragons’ anthemic energy—featuring hits like *Radioactive*, *Believer*, and *Demons*—alongside Chris Martin’s emotionally charged songwriting and piano-driven performances. Sources close to the tour have hinted at **brand-new collaborative songs debuting live**, adding further excitement.
Tickets go on general sale in early October 2025, with pre-sales opening a week earlier. With demand expected to be overwhelming, the Chris Martin and Imagine Dragons 2026 World Tour is already being hailed as **one of the defining global music events of the decade**.
