Coldplay – Music of the Spheres World Tour

A new world of fan immersion

Coldplay's vision was to achieve two things: Create the most sustainable show on Earth, and give fans a once in a lifetime live experience. To help this dream come true, we invented the world's first compostable LED wristband, and launched our most advanced immersive lighting technology to date: The MVT.

Fan-Powered Effects

Coldplay is using our MVT controller tech to give their fans the most advanced immersive event experience to date. Our MVT paints animated effects across the entire crowd, bringing the entire stadium into the show.

The Brightest Wristband

Working with Coldplay on making their tour the most sustainable in the world, our product team invented an ultrabright, 7 LED wristband, made entirely of compostable plant-based plastic.

Minimizing waste

Coldplay's custom compostable wristband is made from highly sustainable plant-based plastic, sourced from renewable sugarcane and grown under a "Supplier Code of Conduct". Thanks to incredible recycling efforts on tour (86% average wristband return), we are proud to be a part of a huge 47% reduction in direct emission for Coldplay’s tour.

Heart-Stopping Moments

The goal of igniting collective joy in fans' hearts motivates us to keep pushing our immersion technology to the next level. Using our animated graphic effects, we created one of the most memorable moments of the show, hearts beating across the crowd in sync with the sound.

Animated Graphic Effects

Our MVT technology provides the most advanced crowd-immersion in the industry. Paired with our LED products, the MVT turns crowds into a canvas of live effects that make every fan an integral part of the show.

Wireless Grouping

Wireless grouping technology - plays a key role in programming pixels in groups. When distributed at the gate, the pixels have no clue where they are in the stadium and how to react. During the show (between songs or when PixMob effects are inactive) they can be programmed using the Moving Head pointed at them to create special effects like the three-step green group chase you can see in ‘Clocks”

Unifying Effects

One of our favourite moments of the tour is when the whole stadium lights up in bright yellow, like fireflies in the night, creating such a heartwarming atmosphere during the song “Yellow”.

Spatialized & GOBO effects

Using Infrared signals, our Moving Head technology can produce 16 million colors and transmit astonishing dynamic spatialized effects, synchronized with music. This creates massive waves of color that sweep and interact across the audience. The magic of the giant hearts that danced across Coldplay's crowd are made possible using our Moving Head tech to project infrared signals through a GOBO, or metallic mask, that paints fans and the entire stadium with illuminated custom shapes.

"I’m coming to realize after working with PixMob in this last tour that there’s always more room to create more magic."
