After devoting the summer of 2011 to a promotional tour in Europe, the Americas and Africa, [8] the band announced the tour via their Twitter account in September 2011. Initial dates revealed shows in the UK, France, Germany and Belgium. A set of rehearsal shows were added for October and November, seeing the band partake in radio festivals and fan-exclusive gigs. Due to the demand, the band added additional shows in the UK. One of those dates is a concert at Dingwalls in London. Here, the band played several shows to help finance their debut album. Later in November, more dates were added in the UK, this time, playing stadiums in June 2012. [9] The shows in Coventry, Manchester, Sunderland and London sold out in under two hours. [10] The tour kicked off with a live-streamed concert in Madrid. Each member of the band received £10.2 million after tax from the £118.4 million made. [11]

Broadcasts and recordings

Prior to the tour, the band gave a promotional concert in Madrid which was streamed live on YouTube (as part of the Unstaged series). The band performed songs from Mylo Xyloto alongside their previous hits. The concert streamed on 26 October 2011. The show was not only streamed on YouTube but was also seen in New York City's Times Square. Internet users were able to view exclusive content, including a pre-show interview and footage from the band's soundcheck, and were also able to select their camera view, spanning from "front of stage" to "aerial". The show was directed by Anton Corbijn and presented by American Express. [12] The live webcast was reported to have been viewed by nearly 20 million people. [13] A replay of the show on Vevo was viewed by nearly 8 million.

The 1 June concert at London's Emirates Stadium was broadcast on Absolute Radio. [14] Titled Coldplay: Live at the Emirates, the full show was aired live and uninterrupted. [15] Before the concert aired, DJ Geoff Lloyd hosted a "Coldplay Hometime Special". The programme featured interviews with the band, alongside the band's hits. A live album and concert film, entitled Live 2012 , were released in 2012.

Reception

According to Pollstar , Coldplay grossed $181.3 million from 2.1 million tickets sold in 75 reported dates. [16] Over $170 million were earned with the performances held in 2012, which made the band rank at number four on the magazine's list of most successful tours of the year. [17]
