The Mylo Xyloto Tour was the fifth concert tour undertaken by British rock band Coldplay. It was announced in support of their fifth album, Mylo Xyloto (2011), continuing their progression from arenas to stadiums after the Viva la Vida Tour (2008–2010). The concert run featured 76 shows across four continents, starting at Glasgow's SEC Centre on 3 December 2011 and ending at New York City's Barclays Center on 31 December 2012. A visit to Latin America was originally set for 2013, later being cancelled.
Prior to the tour, the band embarked on a series of promotional and festival performances, including Austin City Limits, Glastonbury, Lollapalooza, and Rock in Rio. Coldplay held concerts in Cape Town and Johannesburg as well. They became the first musicians to make use of LED wristbands at shows, popularising them in the live music industry. According to Pollstar, the tour grossed over $181.3 million from 2.1 million tickets sold across 75 reported dates.
