Coldplay, one of the most iconic rock bands of the 21st century, has confirmed they will stop releasing new music after their 12th album.
In a BBC Radio 2 interview in December 2021, frontman Chris Martin revealed, “Our last proper record will come out in 2025, and after that, I think we will only tour.”
The band’s journey to global stardom started with their debut album Parachutes (2000), featuring the breakthrough hit “Yellow.” Over the years, they’ve consistently delivered chart-topping albums, including A Rush of Blood to the Head (2002), X&Y (2005), and Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends (2008).
Their unique mix of atmospheric rock, reflective lyrics, and massive anthems has earned them critical praise and a devoted global fanbase.
Their most recent album, Music of the Spheres (2021), reaffirmed their status as global superstars. Alongside their musical success, Coldplay has also gained attention for their commitment to sustainability.
The Music of the Spheres tour featured eco-friendly efforts like kinetic floors that generate energy and a focus on lowering carbon emissions, showcasing the band’s dedication to environmental causes.
With the confirmation that their upcoming 12th album will be their final studio release, Coldplay is signaling the end of an era for one of the most influential rock bands of the past two decades.
While the band will continue to tour, their decision to stop producing new studio albums is a significant moment in their career.
Fans can still expect one final album, and Coldplay will remain active with live performances, keeping their legacy alive on stage even as their studio recordings come to a close.
