Coldplay performs ‘Cemeteries Of London’ at Wembley Stadium after 14 years
Coldplay is currently engaged in an awe-inspiring, 10-night series at Wembley Stadium in London, marking the finale of their Music of the Spheres 2025 Tour. During one of their recent performances, the band surprised the audience by reintroducing the song “Cemeteries of London,” which had not been played since 2011.
The Music of the Spheres Tour is divided into four distinct acts, each one named after celestial bodies: “Planets,” “Moons,” “Stars,” and “Home.” The band chose the “Home” sequence to revive “Cemeteries of London,” much to the delight of the crowd.
Originally featured in their 2008 record, “Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends,” “Cemeteries of London” was a staple in Coldplay’s setlist for several years following its release. However, after 2011, the song mysteriously disappeared from their performances. This unexpected revival of the track at Wembley Stadium presented fans with a nostalgic moment, as the band opted for a stripped-down rendition on the center stage, also known as the “in the round” C-stage.
Coldplay’s Music of the Spheres Tour emphasizes songs from their recent double album release, starting with the energetic hit “Higher Power” from 2021’s Vol. I: From Earth with Love. The band showcased other tracks from this album like “Human Heart,” “Infinity Sign,” “My Universe,” and “People of the Pride.” Transitioning into 2024’s Music of the Spheres Vol. II: Moon Music, they included performances of “ALL MY LOVE,” “WE PRAY,” and “feelslikeimfallinginlove.” Additionally, attendees were treated to an array of their classic hits such as “Yellow,” “Sparks,” and “Clocks.”
Overall, Coldplay’s performance at Wembley Stadium is nothing short of spectacular as they breathe new life into old favorites and delight audiences with refreshing surprises. The reintroduction of “Cemeteries of London” after 14 years underscores the band’s ability to captivate fans both old and new. The ongoing tour serves as a testament to their enduring popularity and musical prowess, solidifying Coldplay’s status as one of the iconic bands of this generation.
