The A Head Full of Dreams Tour is the seventh concert tour currently being undertaken by British alternative rock band Coldplay, launched in support of their namesake seventh studio album A Head Full of Dreams. Marking the band's return to large-scale venues, after the brief and intimate Ghost Stories Tour, the tour will visit stadiums and arenas across three continents, with a total of 60 shows penned. The A Head Full of Dreams Tour boasts extensive laser light and pyrotechnic visuals similar to the Mylo Xyloto Tour, and also sees a reappearance of the Xylobands as a central part of the show's visual design. The tour has confirmed to be comprising three legs, with a total of 60 shows across Latin America, where they will perform for the first time since the Viva la Vida Tour, Europe, and North America, where they will embark on the very first stadium tour of the United States. The first show of the tour was held at the Estadio Ciudad de La Plata in La Plata, Argentina, on 31 March 2016.
In November 2015, Coldplay announced the Latin American and European legs of the "A Head Full of Dreams Tour" through their official website, with 28 stadium shows confirmed across 14 countries in Europe and Latin America the next year. On 7 December 2015, a fourth and final date at Wembley Stadium, on Wed, 15 June 2016 was announced by the band. The following day, while being interviewed on The Late Late Show with James Corden, the band announced that the tour would also visit Asia and North America.
On 7 April 2016, Coldplay announced 12 new arena dates in the United States. On 29 May 2016, the band will play a homecoming gig in Exeter in England as part of BBC Radio 1's Big Weekend. They have also been announced as the first headliners at Glastonbury 2016, performing on Sunday 26 June. This will be the fourth time they've headlined the festival and sets a record for the most number of times a headliner has played. It was also announced that this would be their only festival performance in 2016. However, two more festivals are now on their tour agenda. While nothing has been announced nor confirmed as of yet, Coldplay has expressed an interest to visit less-visited countries during concert tours, such as India and a large amount of Asia, as well as Africa. No dates have been set currently. Further tour dates will be announced after the release of dates of Leg 2 in Europe. On 6 October 2016, it has been confirmed on Twitter that they will visit the United States again and Canada in the Summer of 2017. On 15 November 2016, the band posted a teaser on Facebook for an Asian tour in 2017 that would visit Singapore, Philippines, Taiwan, South Korea, and Japan.
