Coldplay has given the world anthems of love, healing, unity, and hope. Their music has carried us through heartbreak and hardship, and lifted us in moments of joy and wonder. From Fix You and Yellow to Paradise, Viva La Vida, and My Universe, Coldplay’s sound is more than music — it’s emotion, it’s memory, it’s magic.

And for South African fans, that magic isn’t new, we’ve felt it once before.

In 2011, Coldplay performed in Johannesburg and Cape Town, and those nights have lived on in our hearts ever since. Thousands of fans filled the stadiums and sang every word; it was electric, emotional, unforgettable. That tour gave us a taste of the wonder, and ever since, we’ve been dreaming of the day they would return.

Now, more than a decade later, South Africa is ready — no, longing — to welcome Coldplay back.

We’ve watched them light up the world with their Music of the Spheres tour. We’ve seen the vibrant crowds in Buenos Aires, Tokyo, London, and more. But each time, South African fans are left wondering: "When will it be our turn again?"

This petition is our collective voice — a nation of fans calling out with full hearts. From Johannesburg to Durban, Cape Town to Pretoria, we are a country with rhythm in our blood and stars in our eyes. Our venues are ready. Our skies are clear. And our voices? They're waiting to rise in harmony with yours.

Chris, Will, Guy, Jonny — and the entire Coldplay team — we invite you to return to South Africa. Let us relive the magic, and let a new generation of fans feel what only Coldplay can give.

Sign this petition if Coldplay has ever moved you. Share it if you still remember 2011 like it was yesterday. Let’s show the world — and the band — that South Africa is more than ready to feel the rush all over again.
