The Parachutes Tour was the first concert tour undertaken by British rock band Coldplay.

[2] They mostly performed at clubs, theatres and festivals, while the set list included all tracks from the concert run's namesake album along with songs from The Blue Room (1999), covers and unreleased material. [3]
After numerous one-off performances and a few shows with Bellatrix in support of The Blue Room (1999), [4] Coldplay was part of the NME Premier Tour in January 2000 and embarked on a co-headlining run with Terris in March. [5] On 27 April 2000, the band announced their first headlining tour would be coming to the United Kingdom right after supporting Muse at Showbiz Tour. [6]
Except for London, English band Lowgold were the supporting act for all October 2000 performances. [7] On 18 December, the guests included Bettina Motive and the Fantastic Super Foofs. [8] During the first North American leg, Lily Frost was the opener in Vancouver and remaining dates had Powderfinger. [9] Grandaddy was invited for the continent's second run. [10] Mercedes, JJ72 and Swan Lee were featured in the shows at Club Ifor Bach, [11] Ancienne Belgique, [12] and Vega, [13] respectively.
In total, the tour grossed $4,201,871 from 262,140 tickets sold. [14] Billboard also commented the performances held in 2001 earned an average of $52,743 from 2,507 tickets per date. [15]
