Green starts
with yellow
When Coldplay set themselves the goal of making their tour as low-carbon as possible, they needed to find a partner with expertise in sustainable logistics solutions.
That’s why Coldplay have chosen DHL as Official Logistics Partner for their Music Of The Spheres World Tour.
DHL is proud to join Coldplay on the road as their Official Logistics Partner, and will support the band in their mission to cut their carbon emissions by more than 50% - bringing you a tour that’s both green… and Yellow.
Delivering great music, sustainably
When one of the world’s leading bands wanted to deliver a more sustainable world tour, they turned to the world’s leading logistics provider for help.
With DHL’s expertise in sustainable logistics solutions, we are able to offer Coldplay a multi-faceted approach to minimising the tour’s CO2 emissions.
Whether that’s reducing freight emissions through the use of advanced biofuels, deploying a fleet of electric vehicles and trucks powered by organic waste, or offsetting carbon emissions across the rest of our supply chain, our GoGreen Plus Service provides the band with innovative solutions to help minimise the environmental impacts of touring.
Connecting millions of fans more sustainably with a (wrist)band
Every detail counts when helping make a global event like Coldplay’s World Tour more sustainable, even the logistics of wristbands.
The iconic LED wristbands, one of the highlights of every Coldplay show, pulse with light making every fan part of a spectacular stadium 'full of stars'.
Made from plant-based, compostable material, these wristbands are 100% reusable and recyclable. Fans actively help make the tour more sustainable by returning the wristbands after the show.
On average, over 86% of wristbands are returned. Which DHL then collects and delivers on in the most sustainable way possible. This includes the use of advanced biofuels like SAF (Sustainable Aviation Fuel), and renewable fuel vehicles.
That’s why every wristband has a DHL logo on it, as we are proud to help deliver this unique fan experience more sustainably.
