Coldplay & Imagine Dragons Announce Massive 2026 Co-Headlining World Tour — Full Dates and Cities Revealed
What the rumors / listings say
Some event sites list “Candlelight: Coldplay & Imagine Dragons” concerts scheduled in early 2026 — e.g. in Stockholm on January 10, 2026.
Others list shows in San Antonio (Feb 21, 2026) and Tampa (Jan 17, 2026) under the “Candlelight” banner.
These appear to be one-off or limited runs (often under a “Candlelight” branding) rather than full-scale global tours.
Some fan / speculative sites mention planned 2026 dates for Coldplay (e.g. Goyang Stadium, Accor Stadium) — but those are unverified and not from official band sources.

Why the announcement is dubious
1. No confirmation from the artists
Coldplay’s official site currently lists no upcoming tour dates.
Imagine Dragons’ official tour listings (or trusted concert databases) do not mention a 2026 co-headlining global tour.
2. “Candlelight” branding suggests tribute / themed events
Events under the “Candlelight: Coldplay & Imagine Dragons” name may well be tribute concerts (e.g. orchestral / candlelight renditions) or pop-culture shows, rather than the original artists themselves touring together.
3. Lack of major media coverage
A true Coldplay + Imagine Dragons global tour would almost certainly be widely covered by major music & entertainment outlets. I found no coverage from reputable news or music industry sources confirming it.

What a hypothetical co-headlining tour could look like (if it were real)
If Coldplay and Imagine Dragons were to mount a joint world tour, one might expect:
Stadium / large arena venues across major cities in North America, Europe, Asia, Latin America, and Australia
A leg in Africa, maybe in major markets like South Africa, Nigeria or Kenya
Setlists mixing each band’s biggest hits (e.g. Coldplay’s “Viva la Vida”, “Fix You”, and Imagine Dragons’ “Radioactive”, “Demons”, “Believer”)
Special production elements (massive stage setups, light shows, possible guest acts)
Tour spans several months in 2026, with breaks between continents
But again: this is purely speculative.
