"Playing hits from every era of their 25-year career, they filled the stadium with light, and even indulged themselves with a giddy version of Whitney Houston's I Wanna Dance With Somebody. "This is the song I warm up to in the car park," joked singer Chris Martin. The show closed the latest leg of their Music Of The Spheres Tour, which has circled the world four times since 2022. It is now the highest-attended tour in history, with more than 13m tickets sold."
"The concert is a sensory overload, full of LED writstbands, raining confetti, laser lights, spinning inflatables, 3D glasses that turn everything into hearts and stars, and even a brief puppet show (the operators, Drew and Nicolette, happily got engaged during last Saturday's concert). Martin is the glue that holds it together. He bounds across the stage like a puppy - or is it a youth pastor? - covering the length of the catwalk several times within the first few songs."
Coldplay closed a record-breaking 10-show run at Wembley Stadium with a night featuring hits from every era of their 25-year career. The band performed a giddy cover of Whitney Houston's 'I Wanna Dance With Somebody' and Chris Martin joked the song is his warm-up. The Music Of The Spheres Tour has circled the globe four times since 2022 and has become the highest-attended tour in history with over 13 million tickets sold. Friday's show was postponed by a London transport strike and Martin pledged a performance 'fifteen times better' to compensate. The concert delivered elaborate stagecraft including LED wristbands, confetti, lasers, inflatables, 3D glasses and a brief puppet show. Martin engaged fans across the arena to dismantle the barrier between band and audience.
