The internet was abuzz with Coldplay this summer — and with good reason. The band’s Music of the Spheres World Tour was named the highest-attended tour of all time with Guinness World Record-breaking attendance numbers for a universally-acclaimed concert described by The Times as “the greatest live music show ever.” And today, we’re teaming up with iHeartMedia to bring that magic to fans everywhere with an immersive concert experience — plus additional ways to celebrate — as a modern-day British Invasion gets set to take Meta Horizon by storm.

Said Coldplay: “Wembley Stadium is just a few miles from where we played our first gigs, so we’re very grateful to Meta and iHeart for bringing this special hometown concert to people all around the world — as if they were right there in the stadium, but in the comfort of their own homes.”

An Epic & Awe-Inspiring Immersive Show

On December 30 at 11:00 am PT / 7:00 pm GMT, Coldplay will take over the new Arena in Meta Horizon with a free event, Coldplay Music of the Spheres World Tour: An Immersive Experience, produced in partnership with iHeartMedia. Fans can get amazing views of Coldplay’s Music of the Spheres World Tour, exclusively via the Meta Horizon mobile app on iOS and Android and in VR on Meta Quest. RSVP now to receive updates ahead of the event.

This is your chance to experience Coldplay hits including “Yellow,” “Fix You,” “Viva La Vida,” “A Sky Full Of Stars,” and “feelslikeimfallinginlove” like never before. Get closer to the action than you’d ever thought possible, feeling the energy of their performance as you take in the breathtaking spectacle — no matter where you happen to be.

Our team worked closely with iHeart to capture the tour during its leg at London’s iconic Wembley Stadium in immersive stereoscopic 180-degree VR. The production used 15 cameras, including four tower cams, dual rails, two Steadicams, 12 REDs, a Spydercam system, and three new Blackmagic URSAs, which offer extra resolution and sharper lenses, bringing the sights and sounds of the concert to life with stunning clarity. We secured unprecedented prime locations — closer to the band than ever before and at the highest vantage points we’ve reached yet.

You can also express yourself with exclusive free Coldplay avatar merch as you connect with other fans from across the globe. Create a signature look for your avatar and connect with Coldplay fans in your own unique style. The merch is available now on our concert page for iOS and Android, or in the Avatar editor in VR.

All in all, it’s a larger-than-life extravaganza you won’t want to miss. We thought it only fitting for one of the biggest bands on the planet, with performances full of heart, emotion, and pyrotechnics that have to be seen to be believed.
