Apart from the high anticipation and popular demand, the band’s ‘Music of the Spheres World Tour’ has been in the limelight for another reason – environment-friendly practices. Since the beginning of the tour, they have been striving to promote sustainability, employing several measures to achieve the goal.
Some of these measures include:
- Reducing carbon footprint
- Powering stage production with renewable, super-low emission energy
- Minimising air travel
- Promoting recycling
- Donating money for environmental and social causes
- Supporting nature projects
In June 2024, Coldplay released a report stating that the direct CO2e emissions from the first two years of this tour were 59 per cent less than their previous stadium tour (2016-17). While there's a long way to go in achieving sustainability in music events, this initiative is a step in the right direction.
Sustainable measures for Coldplay Mumbai concert
Now that the band is about to perform in Mumbai, several measures have been employed to ensure sustainability. The organisers have also collaborated with Indian railways for an exclusive train, and with Cityflo for buses, to enable seamless and eco-friendly commute for the audience.
BookMyShow has released guidelines for following sustainable practices at the venue. These include:
- Opt for public transportation in order to reduce carbon footprint.
- Return your LED wristbands, which are 100 per cent biodegradable.
- The venue has free hydration stations for refilling water, to avoid single-use plastic.
- Segregate waste according to signages above each bin.
- Seek help from green volunteers at the venue whenever required.
