The Ghost Stories Tour was the sixth concert tour undertaken by British rock band Coldplay. It was announced on 17 April 2014 and staged to promote their sixth studio album, Ghost Stories. The performances marked a return to intimate venues after the stadium dates of the Mylo Xyloto Tour (2011–2012). The band played all songs from the standard version of the album, interspersed with some of their previous material. Concerts began at Cologne's E-Werk on 25 April 2014 and ended at Munich's BMW Welt on 6 December 2014, being noted for combining live and pre-recorded content for small settings.
Only three dates had an opening act, with SZA, London Grammar and AlunaGeorge supporting the Beacon Theatre, Royce Hall and Royal Albert Hall concerts, respectively. The tour was met with generally positive reviews from music critics, who praised the production and how Coldplay connected with the audience. Following its ending, the band released Ghost Stories Live 2014, which included music videos for "Always in My Head", "All Your Friends" and "Ghost Story" in its physical editions and was nominated for Best Music Film at the 57th Annual Grammy Awards. Overall, the concert run grossed $3.09 million from 29,129 tickets sold in 10 reported shows.
