according to their website.Coldplay’s live show setup includes kinetic dance floors and stationary bikes that can channel energy directly from the fans in the crowd into batteries that power different elements of the show.What’s more, each LED bracelet, known as Xylobands, worn by each concertgoer is controlled by a radio transmitter.Martin, who previously vowed that Coldplay would not tour again until they found a sustainable and environmentally safe way to take the stage, previously said the band has mapped out a 12-point plan to cut down its carbon footprint. The show featured a long of breathtaking moments, including several stunning firework displays and surprise guests at the end.British singer Laura Mvula and indie band London Grammar opened for Coldplay’s London gigs.“I’ve been following Coldplay around for many years now,” Joy Eisenhower, who hails from Pittsburgh, Penn., told The Post. “It’s the fifth time I’ve seen them live now and can honestly say it’s the best show I’ve ever seen.”“It left me completely speechless,” she added.Elsewhere in the show, frontman Chris Martin abruptly brought his show to a halt to ask fans to stop filming on their cell phones and be present instead.Interrupting his song during Saturday’s show, the 45-year-old said he wanted “just one song” without phones or cameras to let “the power of the people” shine through.“Wait, hold on, one second.

Coldplay performed their nightly duology of covers with the unique trio of Steve Coogan (in character as Alan Partridge), Jacob Collier and Nicole Lawrence.As all shows on the run have been thus far, Coldplay’s show on Saturday (August 20) was split into seven segments, which saw the band perform across three different stages. They welcomed out the impromptu supergroup for the second-to-last of those segments, taking to the “C-Stage” in the middle of the dancefloor. Clad in a gaudy red tracksuit, Partridge took the reins from Chris Martin on lead vocals, while the Coldplay frontman played acoustic guitar and sung backup. Lawrence added depth to Martin’s strumming with her performance on a pedal steel guitar, while Collier fleshed out the soundscape on piano. For their two-song micro-set, the group covered ABBA’s 1976 hit ‘Knowing Me, Knowing You’ and Kate Bush’s newly-made-cool-again ‘Running Up That Hill’.

Coldplay frontman Chris Martin took some time off to link up with pianist Victoria Canal – who happens to have been born without her right forearm – joining her for a soulful duet of her original track ‘Swan Song’.Billboard reports that Martin and Canal met on Wednesday (August 17), the same day Coldplay performed their fourth gig in the iconic London stadium. It was a private meeting, with Canal performing the song on a vintage grand piano while Martin leant over the headboard and joined her in singing the track’s tender chorus: “Who knows how long we’ve got? / As long as I’m breathing, I / Know it’s not too late to love.”After they completed the vocal refrain, Martin nonchalantly quipped that ‘Swan Song’ is “one of the best songs ever written”, to which Canal replied in shock: “WHAT?” Martin then joked about how Canal was “nervous that the piano was louder than you”, with the latter noting that she “always sing[s] too quiet”.Posting footage of the moment to her Twitter page, Canal wrote: “I literally dissolved and went to songwriter heaven when this happened.

Coldplay were joined by Natalie Imbruglia during the third of their six shows at London’s Wembley Stadium, where they paid tribute to Olivia Newton-John and performed Imbruglia’s hit ‘Torn’ together.Honouring the late Newton-John, who died last week at the age of 73, Coldplay and Imbruglia covered Grease number ‘Summer Nights’. Newton-John sang the song in the musical’s 1978 film adaptation, which she starred in as Sandy, alongside John Travolta.For their rendition, Imbruglia handled the role of Sandy while Coldplay’s Chris Martin sang the part of Travolta’s character, Danny, duetting on its shared chorus along with Jacob Collier.Before ‘Summer Nights’, Coldplay and Imbruglia also performed ‘Torn’, which Imbruglia popularised when she released her version of the Ednaswap song as her debut single in 1997.

Coldplay have reacted to a claim that they’re being used as “useful idiots for greenwashing” while they pursue their eco-friendly ‘Music Of The Spheres’ world tour.The band’s plan to minimise their and their fans’ carbon footprint has been welcomed, although criticism has surfaced regarding companies that they’ve partnered with for help.Last week Coldplay announced a partnership with Finnish oil company Neste to cut their touring emissions by half. Neste claims to be the world’s largest producer of sustainable biofuels but the firm’s palm oil suppliers cleared at least 24,710 acres of forest in countries including Indonesia and Malaysia between 2019 and 2020 [via Friends Of The Earth].Carlos Calvo Ambel, a senior director of the Transport and Environment campaign group (T&E) said: “Neste is cynically using Coldplay to greenwash its reputation.“This is a company that is linked to the kind of deforestation that would appal Chris Martin and his fans.

You can find tickets to their upcoming UK dates here.The ‘Music Of The Spheres World Tour App’ first launched during those Central American dates, and the app is now being given a renewed push as the band embarks on the North American leg of their tour tomorrow (May 6).Available to download here for free for iOS and Android devices, the app “forms a key part of the band’s pledge to make their tour as sustainable and low-carbon as possible, since fan travel accounts for the largest part of tour-related emissions”, a statement reads.Coldplay’s app will allow “fans to plan low-carbon travel to and from shows, with those who choose green journeys [being] rewarded with a merch discount code” at the gigs.A post shared by Coldplay (@coldplay)The app, which will also house Coldplay-themed games and AR experiences, exclusive behind-the-scenes content and an audio livestream of a forthcoming European tour date, will “measure total fan-travel carbon emissions so that the band can drawdown these impacts via high quality nature-based solutions, such as reforestation and soil regeneration”.So far, the average fan carbon footprint is down around 50 per cent from 2016/17’s ‘A Head Full Of Dreams Tour’.“We’re really proud of the ‘Music Of The Spheres World Tour App’,” Coldplay said in a statement.
