Coldplay at Emirates last night was a sea of beautiful bobbing bright neon.

Stad rock gigs are epic in size and we were high up in the gods of Emirates (in cheapskate seats) but the neon wristbands brought a real sense of intimacy and excitement to the gig. 60,000 fans all flashing pink, green and blue. Great show!

Luminous and wired

After some very upsetting times and quite a bit of drama with my flatmate (we were supposed to go to the Coventry on tuesday), yesterday I ended up going to London to see Coldplay at the Emirates stadium.

Yesterday was one of the best days of my life. As you may already know, I am the ultimate concert junkie and I've been dying to see Coldplay for so long, but I knew this was going to be an entirely different experience.

Because of my last-minute change I got a seating place. At first I was bummed but, turns out, it was actually better that way. I just want to skip to the best part of it all; the glowing wristbands.

Every single one of the 58,000 people in the stadium got a wristband that would light up automatically during the show. There was one moment as they were playing Charlie Brown, when for the first time they turned all the lights off and turned all the bracelets on. Okay, guys, the entire stadium gasped from the beauty of what was in front of us; the pictures don't even explain and the magnificence of the sight is hard to explain in words, but just try to imagine 58,000 coloured lights glowing and moving around in the pitch dark as Coldplay is playing in the background.

I've only cried from beauty twice in my life; once was in 7th grade camp in the Sahara desert where I saw the most incredible sky and the Milky Way, and the second time was last night. It was so incredibly beautiful! And it was HUGE!

Coldplay didn't just make a marvelous musical show (as they would, with their flawless music!) but they also created an insane visual show with the wristbands, actual fireworks, confetti, balloons, blow up butterflies around the stadium... There were people of all ages, families with kids, elderly couples, couples of 50 year old friends, all there chanting to The Scientist and Viva La Vida and Fix You (my god, Fix You made me an emotional wreck!) and I found it all touching and super adorable. I jammed and sang along to every single song so loud I'm surprised I still have any voice at all! It's been 24 hours now and I am still freaking out.

The entire 24 hours yesterday were wonderfully perfect, it was such a fun day and I wish I could thank Coldplay for an absolutely unforgettable night.

The closest to religion I’m ever going to come

Before I first saw Coldplay live I was largely ambivalent towards them. But last night, standing amongst a sea of 65,000 people with a sweaty mess pouring his heart out on stage, it was the closest to religious worship I’m ever going to come. It was spiritual.

The whole thing was so flamboyant and colourful. There were fireworks, lasers, cannons shooting thousands of paper butterflies, giant fluro balloons and 65,000 flashing wristbands. Whoever came up with the idea of turning every person in the arena into a living, breathing fairy-light beating in time to the music was inspired. It was a thing of extreme beauty. Even Rhianna ‘turning up late’ couldn’t shake the mood (somewhere a techie is getting fired for not bringing her video in on time).

For me, they are by far and away the best live band I have ever seen. When a band plays ‘The Scientist’, asks you if your having a good time and then tells you they “haven’t even played the good songs yet” you know you’re in for a great night.

Hello

 

I am going to see Coldplay at the Emirates tomorrow (4th June) and was wondering what Security was like when entering. Is there any security at all? Do they check bags? Are they quick searches?

 

Another question is do they scan your ticket or rip off each one?

 

Curious as I want to get in as quickly as possible :)

 

Thanks

listened to this concert on the radio link, and chris made a lot of mistakes lol, cant believe he just stopped POC in the middle of it haha, love him. But you only know that he's made a mistake cus he laughs about it and draws attention to it otherwise wouldnt have noticed.

 

What is Chris saying when he says 'Ashigray' or something similar to that? He says it all the time

 

Sounded so great listening to it and the videos look awesome!
