Coldplay to feature on FC Barcelona jersey

It’s been announced this morning that Spotify, in association with FC Barcelona, has chosen Coldplay to feature on the Barça jersey for the men’s team’s upcoming game against Real Madrid – also known as El Clásico – on October 26 and the women’s team’s match against Eibar on Nov 2.

Two exclusive editions of the match jersey will be available for purchase from this Friday 18 October at Barça Stores and via the club’s e-commerce platform.

Before that, a registration page for pre-sales is available; starting the pre-sale from Thursday 17 October at 11.30pm CEST until the physical stores open on Friday 18 October at 10am CEST.

One of the limited editions will consist of 1,899 units of the match-quality jersey featuring the Moon Music Coldplay logo. Another, even more exclusive edition, consisting of only 22 match quality units will feature a fluorescent effect on the logo and will be signed by the starting players from both matches—the Clásico and the Liga F game.

Spotify, Coldplay and FC Barcelona will donate the proceeds from this match jerseys collection to a joint project from the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR/ACNUR) and the FC Barcelona Foundation.

FC Barcelona, Spotify, and Coldplay will also release a lifestyle clothing line this Friday, which will be available from Barça Stores and the club’s e-commerce site. This merchandise will feature items such as t-shirts, hoodies and a scarf, incorporating motifs that combine the graphic imagery Moon Music and the corporate elements of FC Barcelona and Spotify.

The Moon Music-related logo that will feature on the shirt was inspired by a design from a Coldplay fan.

FC Barcelona will also share a special edition of the popular Barça Matchday playlist on Spotify featuring themed songs to motivate the players and fans in the build up to the game, which was curated by the band.

Said Coldplay: “We’re honoured that Spotify has chosen to feature our Moon Music design on the shirt of FC Barcelona. We’ve had a special relationship with the city and the club for many years. We’re also proud to support the UNHCR in their life-saving work to protect refugees and displaced people around the world. Heartfelt thanks to Spotify and FC Barcelona for making this happen.”
