Coldplay warms to the task in the Cauldron as they play to 50,000 in a packed Brisbane Suncorp Stadium

ANTHEMS? They have a few. But even when they played Festival Hall in 2001 Coldplay always seemed destined one day to play the biggest stages.

 

And here they are with all the bells, whistles, pyrotechnics and flashing wristbands that money can buy, playing to more than 50,000 fans at a rare Suncorp Stadium concert last night.

 

But the moody atmosphere of their early days has lately been replaced by a band sounding positively chipper on most recent album Mylo Xyloto, a pop record down to the Rihanna duet.

 

They do play loads of songs from it in their first Brisbane appearance since 2009 but there is plenty else to go around in a show like this, with early favourites like In My Place and Yellow having the throng singing along for all they were worth.

 

Whatever you think of their records, Chris Martin is an energetic and charismatic frontman.

 

But it takes more than that to reach to people sitting hundreds of metres away, and Coldplay manage to do it with their vast circular video screens, laser light beams and the kaleidoscope light effect of the light wristbands given to every member of the audience.

 

And then there was the confetti!

 

As a spectacle it is dazzling, even by the high standards set by Radiohead on their visit here. And by the clever use of all these effects, you somehow feel like you are getting close to Coldplay, even if they are just four men looking like ants in the distance.
