LightSoundJournal.com: Coldplay’s sensational “Music of the Spheres” world tour has received widespread acclaim since launching in 2022, not only for the band’s celebrated music and engaging onstage presence but also for their efforts in ushering in a new era of sustainable touring. Award-winning lighting designer Sooner Routhier has been working with Coldplay since 2019 and, keeping with the environmental ethic, she chose to light the shows using greener, more eco-friendly fixtures. The lighting vendor for the tour is a long-time partner, Upstaging.

Coldplay is one of the artists that I have wanted to see live for a long time. After they performed at the Superbowl I knew that I wanted to see the spectacle of their show live. They always seem to put on a good show with lots of moving elements and parts that help bring together their theme, and their music is good. It’s exciting to see that they are paving the way for environmental efforts to be accounted for in the music touring industry. Shows these days have so many different moving parts and flashy items that I’m sure their ecological footprint is large. It’s nice to see that the lighting designer is using new technology to create a new dialogue with the touring industry and how they use the environment. I would love to see the Proteus Atlas in action, and I’m sure it will soon be marketed for all music tours if it hasn’t already, so I’m excited to see when I go to concerts if these new light continues to be used.
