‘The Atmospheres’ is a two-day immersive event taking place in London on October 15 and 16, hosted by British rock band Coldplay, in association with Amazon Music.

It is promoting the band’s ninth studio album, Music of the Spheres, which is set for release on October 15 – the first day of the immersive experience.

Coldplay said: “We’re excited to partner with Amazon Music to bring Music of the Spheres to life. The Atmospheres will take fans on a trip through The Spheres and into the heart of the album.”

What will The Atmospheres experience involve?

Inside the custom-built installation, fans will be transported to The Spheres – the distant solar system that plays host to the band’s latest album, where each of the twelve tracks is twinned with a different planet.

The event will “recreate the alien worlds at the heart of the album” and will give fans an opportunity to “create their own alien language messages, snap selfies in the augmented reality photobooth, and even help to power the experience through bespoke kinetic walkways.”
