Tour notes
With 163 names listed in the touring credits, it certainly takes a small army to put on a Coldplay show. They wrap up their American leg with a show at the Levi Stadium outside San Francisco before taking a short break and heading down under to Australia. The tour is expected to continue beyond those dates, covering a three-year span.
