Coldplay’s Music of the Spheres tour is on its way back to Australia, but excited fans may already have a sneak peek at what to expect when the British supergroup hits the stage.
A leaked setlist has been circulating online, revealing the potential lineup of tracks that Chris Martin and his bandmates—Jonny Buckland, Guy Berryman, and Will Champion—might bring to their sold-out concerts Down Under.
With Coldplay known for adding a local flavour to their shows, Aussie fans are eagerly speculating whether the band will give a nod to the country’s music scene.
The band famously embraced You’re the Voice, John Farnham’s beloved anthem, during their 2009 performance at the Sound Relief concert in Sydney, where Farnham himself joined them on stage.
More recently, when Coldplay played Perth last year, Martin delighted the crowd with two improvised tunes—Song For Australia and Song For Shane, the latter a touching tribute to his late friend Shane Warne.
‘Friends come, friends go, There are some people you’re lucky to know, If I could I’d do it all again, Thanks for everything, Shane,’ Martin serenaded the crowd during the heartfelt performance.
Fans are hopeful that Song For Shane might make a return when Coldplay takes over Marvel Stadium in Melbourne for their upcoming shows.
As Coldplay returns, they are riding high on the success of their global Music of the Spheres tour.

Launched over two years ago, the tour has become a juggernaut, selling around 10 million tickets worldwide and grossing over $1.5 billion.
With the tour still going strong, some industry insiders believe it could surpass Taylor Swift’s Eras tour as the highest-grossing tour of all time when it wraps up in 2025.
Beyond the music, Coldplay’s concerts are renowned for their immersive visual experiences.
The band pioneered the use of LED wristbands at their shows, turning entire stadiums into glowing seas of colour.
For this tour, the tech has been upgraded with eco-friendly, compostable materials, reflecting the band’s ongoing commitment to sustainability.
Despite the grand scale of their performances, Martin has been candid about the pressures of being a stadium-sized performer.
The 47-year-old frontman recently admitted to struggling with ‘confidence crashes’ from time to time but shared how the tour has helped him find renewed joy in performing.
‘It used to be all about us, now it’s not about us at all,’ Martin revealed in a recent interview with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe.
‘We’re just there to facilitate a gathering really. It restores my faith in humanity every day I get to see people singing together. We love it.’
