This arena is at Ferrari World!! Maybe Guy really wanted to play here....or got talked into it by some Ferrari execs :p

The arena is the field between the two pointy parts of the building on the bottom left of the picture.

This will be my first concert. :)

 

I heard Chris Martin on the radio today but not sure if that was something specific for the UAE or something else...

More info here about the concert:

Hasan Malik, (a personal friend of mine!), is opening for Coldplay at this New Years Eve show. :)

yooo how'd you find it

Brilliant first show for me! The crowd was fantastic! The George Michaels tribute was incredible, really enjoyed that :) Disappointed they swapped out Magic for Princess of China.. Coldplay came on stage about 20-25 mins late, so we did the New Years countdown at the end of Amazing Day. Chris made a song about 2016 to fill some time for the countdown. Then we had ASFOS and Up&Up but I believe the usual pyrotechnics used for Up&Up was spent on the New Years countdown as there were less fireworks during Up&Up.

 

So happy to have seen them live for the first time and I really hope they come back soon :)

I WAS THERE TOO, I just wanted to know what you thought of it. It was fantastic, I really hoped they'd take a request from a fan to play a song from an older album but tbh they were great. I hope they make more music to come. I reallllyyy wanted to listen to magic cause its in their common setlist but ah well. I also cant wait for the kaleidoscope EP omfg.

 

P.S. which stand were you in
