Coldplay is one of the best-loved British rock bands in the world, with numerous tours, top sellers and awards to their name. Formed in 1996, the band's original line-up comprised Chris Martin, the lead vocalist, and Jonny Buckland, the lead guitarist, who met at University College in London. Originally the band was called Pectoralz, which later became Starfish after the bassist, Guy Berryman, joined along with drummer Will Champion, who also plays multiple instruments and provides backing vocals.
The band finally decided on the new name Coldplay in the same year that they recorded and released their first three EPs: Safety, released in 1998, the single “Brothers and Sisters,” released a year later and “The Blue Room,” also released in 1999. This last single was the band's first major label release with Parlophone. Collaborations include recordings with Jay Z, Nelly Furtado and Rihanna, and the band have also said that Travis were a major influence on their early work, along with Muse, Kate Bush, George Harrison and Echo and the Bunnymen. Later influences include Arcade Fire and My Bloody Valentine.
It was their single “Yellow” released in 2000, that launched the band to instant international acclaim, and their debut album, Parachutes, followed later that year, receiving Mercury Prize nominations. Coldplay's second album, A Rush of Blood to the Head, released in 2002, also received widespread critical praise and won a range of awards, including the prestigious Album of the Year award from NME. The next album release was X & Y, which was also well received, and the fourth album release was Viva la Vida, or Death and All His Friends in 2008, which earned them a number of wins at the Grammy Awards. Their fifth album, Mylo Xyloto was a chart topper in 34 countries.
The band has also won a large number of awards, including seven Grammys, five MTV Music Awards, and eight BRITs, with over 25 nominations in all. Coldplay have sold over 60 million records across the world and have toured extensively across Europe, the Americas, Australia, Asia and Africa. They also strongly support a range of political and social causes and have performed extensively in charity concerts, including Live 8, the Teenage Cancer Trust, Band Aid 20, Hope for Haiti Now, Sound Relieve and the Secret Policeman's Ball.
Never miss a Coldplay concert. It is an experience!!!
Honestly one of the best concert experiences I have been to! The venue and parking was not great, but the concert experience was amazing! If you enjoy any of Coldplay’s songs, I highly recommend attending a concert. Great vibes and better music. Chris Martin is a heart.
the joy that chris gives me is like no other 💔. i got to see him two times in three days. went to san diego and then in the next two days i got to see him at the rose bowl. indescribable feeling.
I have had the pleasure of attending numerous concerts by some of the biggest artists in the world, but Coldplay's performance at the Rose Bowl stands out as the absolute best. No one has ever come as close to creating an unforgettable experience as Coldplay did that night. From the mesmerizing light show to the playful release of balloons, confetti, and fireworks, every moment was pure magic. Chris Martin's ability to not only enthrall the audience with his music but also interact with everyone on a personal level left me in awe. He exudes humility, which is a rare and beautiful trait in a performer of his stature. The surprise appearance of a special guest on stage was the icing on the cake, adding an extra layer of excitement to an already exceptional evening. I can't help but wonder if anyone can ever surpass the sheer brilliance of Coldplay's performance at the Rose Bowl. Many may try, but I believe most will fall short. I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to Coldplay for giving my family and me the best time of our lives. This concert will forever hold a special place in our hearts.
I recommend this concert, the group is amazing and they know how to engage all the concert goers.
Coldplay puts on the most unbelievable, heart warming concert so full of love. Music was just amazing. The venue does not seem to met code. Tiny seats, steep steps with no railing. Restrooms were to few, smelly and dirty Getting to the shuttle buses was a nightmare!!!Hours of waiting.
Couldn’t have been any better! Coldplay threw absolutely everything at the show!
With so many songs and so many great fans, a Coldplay concert is a great experience. They always put on an awesome show. You definitely will not be bored. Everything from the light show to pyrotechnics to even better songs to sing along to, there is something for everyone. The just get better and better!!
It was magic in every inch of the rose bowl! I love everything
Coldplay was amazing. I have no complaints about them. Their show was out of this world!!!! The venue, however, needs better organization. Gates were supposed to open at 5:00; they opened almost 40 minutes later. The entrance lines were very disorganized. People were cutting in line. The merch lines were horrible!!! They cut across the wakway, and people had to walk across the lines and that was very hard to do. I sure won’t go to another concert there.
The sheer incredible amount of energy that Coldplay puts out while live is phenomenal! They charge up an audience like no other band I’ve seen. What an absolute amazing experience.
Coldplay always put on a great party. This was my 7th concert
One of the best concerts I’ve ever been. Loved every second of it.
Such a great experience! This Coldplay Concert was my favorite of all time!
This was a fantastic experience, especially for a stadium show, which I'm not really big on in the first place. My only slight beef was the long line held outside prior to the stadium being opened, but I believe had we not gotten there early (as was stressed via email etc) that we could've avoided the line and walked right in an hour or so later and not missed much with the exception of the first of three openers....Rose Bowl does a nice job of coordinating everything tho. We parked at Parsons lot and opted to forego the shuttle and walk the 1.2 miles into the stadium and again after the show (we beat the shuttles back!). If you're physically able, I highly recommend this! It's actually pleasant and takes about 24 minutes is all, plus you beat much of the crowd!
The show was amazing! I hope watching them again soon. Coming to the Rose Bowl parking lot was easy and well organized. Leaving was a bit confused due everyone was out at the same time, but in general it was expected.
Coldplay is an amazing band, and the concert was amazing, don’t have words to express how I felt but it was wonderful!
My friend wanted to go to this concert and then she couldn’t make it! Was glad I decided to take someone else instead of reselling my tickets. Coldplay is so entertaining, engaging and they really connect with the crowd. The LED lighting is so enjoyable, sets the mood. Their songs are so heartfelt and non-political. Really had a good time. A truly Magical night! It was my first time taking the shuttle from Walnut Street it’s the only way to get to the Rose Bowl. Only problem is we got there too early and had to wait over an hour to get in. Hoping event organizers will consider to open the gate a little earlier if you are asking the crowds to arrive early.
Best concert I’ve ever been too, a night like no other.
Coldplay know how to put on a show. The demographic was anywhere from 50-60 year old to kids. Shows how good Coldplay have been. They’re timeless and their songs brought a lot of nostalgia for me. I felt like they went for like a Disney theme with the entrance music to the fireworks to the stage screens being in the shape of Mickey Mouse hats. People singing along together with not a care in the world. 10000/10
