on the music industry’s environmental impact suggests that live music in the UK alone fosters 405,000 tonnes of greenhouse-gas emissions each year.
“All of us have to work out the best way of doing our job,” Martin continued, nodding to the fact that artists carry a responsibility to share their music with the world in a way that isn’t destructive. The band has done many big tours in its two decades, and are now looking to “turn it around so it’s not so much taking as giving.”
This isn’t a new topic of discussion. The concern of music events’ impact on the environment has been addressed in the past by other artists such as Billie Eilish, the 1975 and Shawn Mendes. In fact, Mendes is working on making his 2019 North American tourby swapping plastic water bottles with boxed water, offsetting carbon emissions, properly handling waste and more.
But all this doesn’t mean they won’t perform in some capacity – tomorrow, when the album is released, Coldplay will perform their new songs at two shows in Amman, Jordan. To make it special, they have timed one show at sunrise and the other at sunset. This show will be streamed live on YouTube for all fans to enjoy. A second show in London, the band’s place of origin, will donate all proceeds to an environmental charity.
