Special live Coldplay performance in Sydney exclusively for Foxtel
Award-winning modern music legends Coldplay will perform an exclusive gig for Foxtel’s MAX channel to celebrate the 50th MAX Sessions when they play for a live audience in Sydney on Wednesday, June 18 at The Star Event Centre.

When Coldplay, led by front-man singer, songwriter Chris Martin, launched their first studio album Parachutes in 2000 they shot to fame with their single “Yellow”. The band followed on with A Rush of Blood to the Head in 2002, and X&Y in 2005 which went straight to number one and became the best-selling album worldwide. The band has since released albums Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends in 2008 and Mylo Xyloto in 2011 with critical acclaim.
In 2014, Coldplay’s sixth studio album Ghost Stories has debuted at #1 on the ARIA Albums Chart in Australia and topped the charts globally. 50th MAX Sessions: Coldplay is your chance to see this phenomenal band play live if you missed out on their exclusive one-off show at Sydney’s Enmore Theatre which sold out in less than three minutes.
