Coldplay, the globally acclaimed band known for their innovative sound and electrifying live performances, are working with Kardinia Energy to bring their next generation solar technology to the tour dates on the Music of the Spheres world tour.
2025 Global Tour
Kardinia Energy will work with Coldplay on their global tour throughout 2025 and visit several continents. Ultimately, millions of people will be able to see what next generation solar technology looks like, be inspired, and start to imagine the various applications our technology can be deployed in.
How It works
The solar panels, placed in the seats behind the stage and elsewhere in the venue, collect power in battery packs that are then used to power the C Stage and to fulfil other ancillary power needs throughout the venue.
ease of use
Easy to install, remove and recycle, Kardinia Energy’s Printed Solar’s flexibility creates vast new market opportunities across many applications. Printed Solar weighs 300 grams per m2 and as a performance guide, Kardinia Energy’s first commercial grade Printed Solar will require 4 times more space than traditional Silicon PV but is expected to be 10 times cheaper.
It can be deployed across environments that are inaccessible to existing solar PV solutions.
Printed Solar was first deployed by Coldplay during the European Leg of their Music of the Spheres Tour in 2024 and continually developed towards a solution for use in the live concert industry.
research and development
Working with Coldplay is enabling Kardinia Energy to continue its research and development in a real-world environment and ultimately provide a world first solar energy solution that can be deployed across the live concert industry initially, and then extended to limitless applications including industrial warehouses, disaster relief, remote communities and refugee camps.
This commitment to support next generation technology companies such as Kardinia Energy reflects Coldplay’s significant dedication to environmental responsibility and their desire to lead by example in the music industry.
