Three of the most influential bands of the modern era are finally sharing one stage, and the scale is exactly as massive as fans always hoped it would be. Radiohead, Coldplay, and U2 are uniting for a worldwide stadium tour in 2026, blending decades of genre-defining music into a single global event. From alternative experimentation to stadium-sized anthems, the tour promises a once-in-a-lifetime convergence of sound, legacy, and spectacle that feels bigger than any one band.
The tour is imagined to kick off on May 15, 2026, in London at Wembley Stadium, before moving across Europe with stops in Paris (May 22 – Stade de France), Berlin (May 28 – Olympiastadion), Rome (June 3 – Stadio Olimpico), and Barcelona (June 7 – Estadi Olímpic). Each night is envisioned as a carefully curated journey, with all three bands rotating extended sets and closing together on a shared finale built around collaboration rather than competition.
North America follows in late June, beginning at New York’s MetLife Stadium on June 20, then rolling through Toronto (June 24 – Rogers Centre), Chicago (June 28 – Soldier Field), Los Angeles (July 4 – SoFi Stadium), and Mexico City (July 10 – Foro Sol). The scale of these venues reflects the magnitude of the moment—three catalogs that defined generations, now echoing through stadiums built for history.
By August, the tour stretches into the Southern Hemisphere, with dates imagined in São Paulo (August 2 – Morumbi Stadium), Buenos Aires (August 6 – River Plate Stadium), Cape Town (August 12 – DHL Stadium), Sydney (August 20 – Accor Stadium), and Tokyo (August 28 – National Stadium). Each city is positioned as more than a stop, but a cultural moment where fans from different eras gather under one roof.
While this tour exists as a creative “what if,” the idea itself speaks to the lasting power of these bands and the hunger for experiences that transcend streaming numbers and algorithms. A world where Radiohead, Coldplay, and U2 share one stage feels almost mythical—but it’s exactly the kind of myth fans love to believe in, even if only for a moment.
