Last few days for what we think is a must see 3D concert of COLDPLAY – Music of the Spheres concert.
The extended concert which runs to 2 hours and contains many of their greats songs is only available until 7th February 2026.
If you look at our reviews of 3D concerts on blu ray here 3D Features you will see that normally we have not been impressed by the available concerts in 3D. However, this is really the top level of access with shots you would never have seen even if you attended the concert. Furthermore the staging was clearly designed to maximise the impact. You can chose the option to see the best seat in the house and 3D and the effect is truly amazing.
Full review to follow but if you have not already seen and enjoy 3D or just like COLDPLAY it it is something you should see.

COLDPLAY – Music of the Spheres – 3D Review
This is a truely impressive concert, I’m not a superfan, but like quite a few people around the world, like the music that COLDPLAY produce. That does influence my review but I’ll try to stick to the facts. Even through it is hard to ignore the impressive nature of the music that is played, the tracks that they can skip through is hard to beat. The likes of Yellow, Fix You, The Scientist, Clocks and many more which you recognise or you know when they are played.
It is difficult to recall all the highlights and tricks which are shown. Some of those which I remember include:
- The up close cameras which shows Chris Martin playing the piano for key tracks including ‘WE PRAY’.
- Flying over the audience with all the peoples wristbands pulsating to the music while they jump in the air.
- The camera that tracks Chris as he runs along the long central spine of the stage, sometimes past other musicians really gives a 3D experience that you could not get normally – even at the event.
- Will Champion at his drum set and letting loose singing.
- The view from the back of the stage out over the band and audience while the wristbands change colour.
- Many occasions when coloured tickertape falls from the sky and the camera moves through this highlight the motion.
- The enormous planetary spheres which are brought on towards the end of the concert again give the scale of the concert and a glorious 3D effect.
- The intimate sections on the small stage where you can see the whole band together, viewing Jonny Buckland and Guy Berryman up close with the arch of Wembley to give perspective.
- Seeing the technical and security team working during the concert, plus the ability to stand next to the security team looking out at the audience.
The combination of all of this with pyrotechnics on the stage and fireworks gives a visual feast which the occasional shots from the back of the stadium highlight beautifully.
Of course there is an amazing song choice whilst this is all going on.
I still think actually being at the concert would have been an amazing event and the feeling of being with those thousands of people enjoying the experience isn’t quite re-created here. Nevertheless, the positioning of the numerous stereoscopic cameras at strategic points for the concert gives you an amazing seat, which you can’t get being at the concert. I would argue this is really a different experience both are very impressive, I would have gone to the concert and seen the 3D immersive VR experience. I’ve seen it twice now and it is tempting to return again!
