Coldplay return to Dingwalls for Radio 2 gig

 

Thirteen-and-a-half years after first taking to the stage in Camden's Dingwalls, Coldplay have played an intimate gig in the venue for just a few hundred fans.

 

Having used the May 1998 performance to fund the recording of their debut album, the group performed the special concert as part of BBC Radio 2's In Concert series. It will be broadcast on December 15, with footage being shown via the Red Button and online the same night.

 

Coldplay's performance - hosted by Jo Wiley - will be broadcast on Radio 2 from 8pm on Thursday, December 15. Red Button footage will be available to watch for one week from 10pm.

Coldplay turn back the clock

 

"I have more cousins than this," quipped Chris Martin as Coldplay returned to the scene of one of their earliest gigs to play for just 400 people.

 

One of the world's biggest bands played against a backdrop of graffiti at Camden's Dingwalls, a venue no bigger than a small village hall. The chart-topping stars played the venue in May 1998, just days after their first low-key, self-financed EP was released with just 500 copies made.

 

This time round a stream of adoring fans queued for hours outside in a bid to see Chris Martin sing and dance around the stage as though he was stepping on hot coals. The audience were treated to songs such as Fix You and Viva la vida as well as some new tracks from their latest album, Mylo Xyloto.

 

The gig, presented by Jo Whiley, was part of Radio 2 In Concert, and fans can listen to it on December 15 at 8pm. Jo Whiley described the venue as "intimate slash dingy" and said it was "steeped in folklore".

 

The band finished their set with a rendition of their old track Christmas Lights.
