Coldplay have became reacquainted with some old Sydney haunts since they lobbed on Sunday.
After their sensational opening night at the Entertainment Centre on Monday, frontman Chris Martin led the charge to the North Bondi RSL to watch the Socceroos' valiant effort to reach the quarter-finals of the World Cup.
The band said the tournament had saved their sanity, particularly watching the Australian team play, reports Kathy McCabe.
"This has been the best time of our lives to have jetlag because finally there's something to watch at that hour of the morning," guitarist Jon Buckland said. Martin added: "The thing about Australia is they play that game like life should be lived. It's great to watch it." 
While they spent most of yesterday catching up on well-deserved sleep, the band members said
they were going to catch up with friends when they had days off later this week.
Drummer Will Champion said he hoped to go fishing tomorrow while Martin said he was going to "a samba concert or mambo ... something ambo".
"It was good to save this part of the tour until last," Martin said, showing the gentleman frontman has no ill-feelings towards Australia after his tussle with paparazzi in Byron Bay during their 2003 visit.
The band have released some last-minute tickets to tonight's final concert at the Entertainment Centre.
