As you well know, Coldplay, one of the most popular and successful British bands – judging from their outstanding track records – have been touring the world, dishing out amazing performances to their fans.
Their Music of the Spheres world tour that started back in March 2022 has received massive recognition amidst criticism. But none of the negative energy seems to keep them down as they keep breaking one record to the other.
Especially attendance records in numerous stadiums around the world where they have taken the Music of the Spheres world tour. Recently, the British Band responsible for giving the world the lover’s anthem, “Something Just Like This” announced their supporting acts for their upcoming 2024 Music of the Spheres World Tour, Asian leg.
Special guests like Rriley and Jasmine Sokko, all Singaporeans among others like the Indonesian singer, Jinan Laetitia are expected to be in the lineup when the tour begins next year. Although tickets for the events are almost sold out, you can still get Coldplay 2024 tickets from a marketplace tasked with making them accessible for you.
Over the past few years, we’ve seen how important a role support acts play during concerts such as this. Additionally, we’ve seen support acts win over new fans in the process of their performance as support acts especially when performing to a large audience like the ones recorded during Coldplay concerts.
Coldplay also has a track record of giving residential artists the chance to showcase their musical art. It is one of the major traditions they have managed to keep up with since they made fame and we think it creates even more connection between them and their fans.
This article will highlight 8 artists who have acted as opening acts to Coldplay on their Music of the Spheres World Tour. Let’s dive right into it.
Yakuza
Yakuza, professionally known as Lous and the Yakuza rose to fame back in 2019 after releasing her hit song, “Dilemme” which was shortly followed by her debut studio album, “Gore” in 2020.
Yakuza performed alongside H.E.R and Coldplay’s Chris Martin in Belgium and France back when the Music of the Spheres World Tour began in 2022.
At the time, Stade de France had a total of 318,331 concert attendees which is way more than Yakuza has ever performed for. Her act during the concert created an avenue for her to sell her art to a larger audience, thanks to Coldplay.

Hana’s song has been used as a soundtrack for popular television series like Love Island. The 23-year-old songwriter performed alongside Chvrches in Principality Stadium located in Wales, Cardiff during Coldplay’s visit to Cardiff.
While being compared to Billie, Hana also has a backstory like that of Billie Eilish. When she was 14, she started writing songs and also performed at the “National Eisteddfod of Wales.”

During Coldplay’s visit to Poland, PGE Narodowy had a total of 57,574 attendees. Mery took the opportunity to win over more fans to her side. She was previously recognized as an act with the “most interesting stage personality.” That, she made clear during her time as a supporting act for Coldplay.
Carla Morrison
Carla Morrison drove the fans crazy when she appeared on stage alongside Danny Lux. Both are artists from Mexico and Coldplay had them as supporting acts when they took the music of the Spheres world tour to Mexico.
The connection Carla instantly had with the fans present at the BBVA Stadium, Akron Stadium, and Foro Sol was incredible.
More than 250k people attended Coldplay’s concert on the last 4 nights Carla performed as a supporting act in Foro Sol. The indie-pop singer has 3 studio albums to her name and is recognized as one of the prominent Mexican singers in the global music industry.
070 Shake

Aside from the fact that the American rapper has a unique name, she also has a record of working with Kanye West who has been recognized as a career booster.
070 Shake received even more recognition for her work when she toured with Coldplay in the US and Canada. During her time with the British Band, she visited Seattle, Vancouver, San Diego, and Pasadena which were the 4 cities Coldplay took the Music of the Spheres World Tour to in the US and Canada.
H.E.R

She has opened for the band in iconic places like the Dominican Republic, Argentina, and Costa Rica. Additionally, the 26-year-old singer has acted as a supporting act for other support acts that were featured in Coldplay Music of the Spheres world tour.

H.E.R. also revealed that she used the opportunity as a lead opening act for Coldplay to introduce more fans to her genre of music. She said her experience performing on stage alongside Coldplay’s Chris Martin was at first overwhelming, but she quickly adapted.
