Chris Martin has just dropped jaws with the announcement of Coldplay’s most breathtaking project to date: their 2026 World Tour, titled “Once Upon A Time.” If you close your eyes, he says, you can almost picture stepping into a 17th‑century royal ball — glittering chandeliers, soaring orchestras, and every song unfolding like the pages of a fairytale.
The tour promises to be nothing short of a fantasia. According to sources, the production will evoke the grandeur of old-world courts: baroque-inspired set pieces, richly embroidered costumes, and soft, golden lighting framing the stage like a cathedral. As Coldplay performs, a live orchestra will swell behind them, giving classic hits and new material an almost symphonic weight.
Martin’s vision is deeply romantic. “Imagine waltzing under candlelight,” he reportedly said in the tour reveal. With every note, it’s as though the audience is wading through a storybook — each song a chapter, each chorus a crown jewel. Moments of quiet intimacy will be woven through the spectacle: stripped-back acoustic sections, whispers of piano, and shadowy duets.
Fans are already in a fever of excitement. Social media is awash with wonder, as people picture Coldplay’s anthems echoed in a grand ballroom, the crowd dressed in velvet and silk, caught in a timeless reverie. This isn’t just a concert — it feels like a theatrical dream, a celebration of beauty, history, and the transcendent power of music.
While full tour dates and ticket details are still under wraps, the buzz is unmistakable: “Once Upon A Time” could well be Coldplay’s most magical, cinematic, and emotionally resonant tour yet. It’s not just about the music — it’s a journey into a world where fantasy and reality meet under the glow of chandelier light.
