In a monumental announcement that’s already sending shockwaves through the music world, Bono and Coldplay have revealed their **joint 2026 “Lights of the World” Global Tour** — a once-in-a-lifetime collaboration uniting two generations of arena-filling legends on a single stage. For the first time ever, U2’s iconic frontman will share an entire world tour with Coldplay, promising fans an immersive, emotionally charged, and unforgettable live experience.
The tour’s mission goes beyond music: it aims to **shine a light on unity, climate action, and hope**, blending Bono’s powerful activism with Coldplay’s euphoric, light-filled performances. “Music has the power to move mountains,” Bono said in the announcement video. “This tour isn’t just about songs. It’s about voices — millions of them — rising together.” Chris Martin added, “Bono is one of my heroes. To stand beside him every night is an honor. We want to create something the world will never forget.”
The **tour kicks off in April 2026 in Dublin, Ireland**, before crossing Europe, North America, South America, Asia, and Africa. Major stops include **London, Paris, Berlin, New York, Los Angeles, Rio de Janeiro, Tokyo, Cape Town, and Sydney**, with more cities to be revealed in the coming weeks.
Each night will feature joint performances, individual sets, and surprise collaborations, all wrapped in stunning visuals and sustainable tour technology. Pre-sale begins November 5, 2025, with general ticket sales opening November 12.
