Watch Coldplay Play Music Of The Spheres Songs For The First Time At Tour Kickoff In Costa Rica

Coldplay released their Music Of The Spheres album last year — you know, the one with the chart-topping BTS collab “My Universe.” I did not like it nearly as much as I liked the 2019 double album Everyday Life, but I maintain that “Higher Power” goes.

The “eco-friendly” tour supporting Music Of The Spheres launched last night at Estadio Nacional in San Jose, Costa Rica. It was Coldplay’s first time playing Costa Rica; it was also their first time playing some of the songs on Music Of The Spheres. About halfway through the set, they debuted the Jon Hopkins-abetted instrumental “Infinity Sign,” which led into a take on their Chainsmokers collab “Something Just Like This” with Chris Martin signing the lyrics while wearing some kind of alien helmet(?). At the end of the show, sandwiched around “Fix You,” they did two more new ones for the first time, “Humankind” and “Biutyful.” Since they were in Costa Rica, they also covered Manuel María Gutiérrez Flores’ “Patriótica Costarricense” at one point.

Watch fan-made footage of all that below.
