The special collection arrives as part of From Apple Music With Love, an ongoing Christmas countdown series featuring exclusive releases from a number of well-known acts. Some of the artists include Elton John, Nile Rodgers who have recently shared new content via the platform.
The EP is comprised of live versions of tracks from Coldplay’s ninth studio album, Music Of The Spheres, which came out in October and also includes a new rendition of the band’s 2010 single, “Christmas Lights.” You can listen to the EP below.
The band are also set to embark on an eco-friendly world tour next year which will likely feature many of the tracks on the EP as well as the aforementioned album Music of the Spheres. The dates are scheduled for London’s Wembley Stadium (six nights), Glasgow, Paris, Berlin and other European cities throughout July and August.
This comes after they first committed in 2019 to not return to live touring until it could be done sustainably, Coldplay has finally announced their tour. They have pledged to cut direct emissions by 50% compared to their recent tours and are planning to use solar installations and kinetic energy at every venue to power a mobile rechargeable show battery as well as plant a tree for every ticket sold.
Chris Martin previously discussed their aims by stating “We’re very conscious that the planet is facing a climate crisis. So we’ve spent the last two years consulting with environmental experts to make this tour as sustainable as possible, and, just as importantly, to harness the tour’s potential to push things forward.” He then continued “We won’t get everything right, but we’re committed to doing everything we can and sharing what we learn. It’s a work in progress and we’re really grateful for the help we’ve had so far. If you’d like to come to a show and sing with us, we’re so excited to see you.”
