Coldplay’s West Coast run in the North American leg of its Music of the Spheres World Tour follows a massively successful year of touring in 2022 with the band selling more concert tickets than any other artist.

The band was crowned Favourite Touring Artist at the 2022 American Music Awards.

Its Music of the Spheres album is also up for three Grammy Awards next month, including Album of the Year.

To date, the Music of the Spheres World Tour has sold over six million tickets around the world since kicking off in March 2022, said organizers.

Coldplay’s Vancouver dates will be sandwiched in between performances in Seattle, WA and San Diego and Los Angeles, CA.

Supporting the band will be multiple Grammy-winning group H.E.R. and 070  Shake.
