The opening acts during the Latin America leg featured local talent, including Argentinian singer and plastic artist Hana Ciliberti, and Mexican pop rock artist Ximena Sariñana, who performed at the shows in Mexico City. It marked the first stadium shows of Havas' career, and her first performances in Latin America. Her appearances on the tour follow her own 10-month tour in support of her July 2015-released album Blood, which had ended two weeks before the start of the A Head Full of Dreams Tour.

As compensation, the band announced that ticket holders received priority access for the next time they play in Houston. However, on 29 September, Coldplay decided to cancel the concert due to scheduling conflicts with the venue.

On 25 August 2017, the Houston concert scheduled that night at NRG Stadium was originally postponed due to Hurricane Harvey. On 16 March 2017, Coldplay announced extra North American dates in Toronto, Edmonton, and Pasadena. A week later, Thailand was included in the leg. On 15 November 2016, the band posted a teaser on Facebook announcing an Asian leg in 2017 that would visit Singapore, Philippines, Taiwan, South Korea, and Japan. On 6 October 2016, it has been confirmed on Twitter that they will visit the United States again and Canada in the Summer of 2017. Further tour dates will be announced after the release of dates of Leg 2 in Europe. While nothing has been announced nor confirmed as of yet, Coldplay has expressed an interest to visit less-visited countries during concert tours, such as India, Bangladesh, Nepal and a large amount of Asia, as well as Africa. However, two more festivals are now on their tour agenda. It was also announced that this would be their only festival performance in 2016. They were also announced as the first headliners at Glastonbury 2016, performing on Sunday 26 June, being the fourth time they've headlined the festival and setting a record for the most headlining performances. On, the band played a homecoming gig in Exeter in England as part of BBC Radio 1's Big Weekend. On 7 April 2016, Coldplay announced 12 new arena dates in the United States. The following day, while being interviewed on The Late Late Show with James Corden, the band announced that the tour would also visit Asia and North America. On 7 December 2015, a fourth and final date at Wembley Stadium, on Wed, 15 June 2016 was announced by the band. In November 2015, Coldplay announced the Latin American and European legs of the 'A Head Full of Dreams Tour' through their official website, with 28 stadium shows confirmed across 14 countries in Europe and Latin America the next year. A live album, Live in Buenos Aires, covering the tour, which was recorded during the last show in La Plata, as well as a concert film, Live in São Paulo, filmed around the world was released in November 2018. Grossing $523,033,675, the tour is currently the sixth highest-grossing concert tour in history. The first show of the tour was held at the Estadio Ciudad de La Plata in La Plata, Argentina, on 31 March 2016 and concluded at the same venue on 15 November 2017. The tour consisted of eight legs, with a total of 122 shows across: Latin America, where they performed for the first time since the Viva la Vida Tour, Europe, North America, where they embarked on their very first stadium tour of the United States, Oceania, and Asia. The A Head Full of Dreams Tour boasted extensive laser light and pyrotechnic visuals similar to the Mylo Xyloto Tour, and also saw a reappearance of the Xylobands as a central part of the show's visual design. Marking the band's return to large-scale venues, after the brief and intimate Ghost Stories Tour, the tour visited stadiums and arenas across five continents. A Head Full of Dreams Tour was the seventh concert tour undertaken by British alternative rock band Coldplay, launched in support of their namesake seventh studio album A Head Full of Dreams.
