Coldplay have earned more than £250m in profit from their record-breaking Music of the Spheres World Tour, according to new figures.

Frontman Chris Martin, guitarist Jonny Buckland, bassist Guy Berryman and drummer Will Champion performed their shows between March 2022 and September 2025.

Over the course of 225 performances, the tour racked up more than £1.1bn in sales while over 13 million people bought tickets.

Now, new accounts for Coldplay’s business show the band’s profit from the tour has surpassed the £250m mark.

In the year to 31 March, 2025, Coldplay’s Flock of Birds Touring LLP achieved a profit of £106.9m.

Chris Martin, as the member of the LLP who receives the largest profit share, earned £26.7m from the company in the year.

In the period from the end of 2022 to 31 March, 2024, Coldplay’s profit was £125.1m while they raked in £32.6m in 2022.

The pair reacted by attempting to avoid the camera, drawing attention online.
