A Sky Full of Stars video shoot.

Coldplay have arrived in Sydney, Australia, ready for their next leg of the Ghost Stories tour. The band are also due to play the '50th Max sessions' show on Wednesday, more on that at the end of the article.

Phil Harvey sent out a tweet yesterday, asking for fans to meet on Australia St, in Sydney for the A Sky Full of Stars video shoot the following day at 11.30am local time.

250 fans needed for #ASFOSvideo tomorrow (tues). Meet 11.30am at courthouse hotel, 202 Australia St, Newtown, Sydney. Bring a smile. PH

Many fans were queuing up hours beforehand! (thank you to Stephen Heffernan on Twitter)

The video shoot itself was a festival of fun, colours and over 250 fans having a great time with Coldplay! View the gallery below for the A Sky Full of Stars video shoot as it happened. (thank you to Batman for finding these photos)

FJK_12 preferred the route Coldplay were taking for this video

Apparently, a Koala advised a fan (as they do!) that the video for A Sky Full of Stars video will be ready as soon as later on today! A simple and raw video would be in order if that was true and would make a complimentary contrast to the heavy production on the song itself. Phil Harvey also happened to be dressed as a Koala bear on the set of the video...hmmm.....

There have been a few lucky fans who had won the competition to see Coldplay live at the MAX sessions, Lucyb on the forums was a lucky Coldplayer who will be present to see the band hopefully bring back some tracks out of the bands back catalogue! It's unknown though as to how many tracks the band will play on the day.

The show itself is not due to be aired until August.
