1. The Setlist Was Fire

Coldplay nailed the balance between classics and new hits. Tracks like “Fix You,” “Yellow,” and “Viva La Vida” brought back all the feels, while “My Universe” added a fresh vibe to the night. And then came “A Sky Full of Stars,” where the entire stadium lit up with those iconic glowing wristbands. It wasn’t just a song; it was a whole moment. Fans were belting out lyrics like it was their last day on Earth.

2. Visuals That Blew Everyone Away

The visuals were next-level insane. Fireworks, massive LED screens, and those signature wristbands turning the crowd into a living light show—it felt like being inside a Coldplay music video. Each song had its unique vibe, with colors and effects perfectly synced to the music. Let’s be real, Coldplay doesn’t just perform; they create an experience.

3. Chris Martin Being Chris Martin

Chris Martin brought his signature charm to the stage. He threw in bits of Hindi, read fan signs, and even invited a young fan on stage to perform “Everglow.” The guy knows how to make a crowd feel special. It’s this personal touch that sets Coldplay apart from other big-name bands.

The Misses

1. Fan Energy Fell Flat in Places

Here’s the deal: not every section of the crowd matched the band’s energy. Sure, some fans were all-in, but others? Not so much. Compared to Coldplay’s global shows, the vibe felt a bit uneven. It’s like the band was pouring their hearts out, but the response didn’t always match.

2. Sound Quality Issues

This was a major buzzkill for some fans. Certain parts of the stadium reported muffled audio during high-energy tracks, which made it hard to catch the lyrics. For a band as iconic as Coldplay, sound glitches like this are a real letdown.

3. Ticket Prices Were Insane

Let’s talk about the elephant in the room—ticket prices. Sure, Coldplay is worth it, but not everyone can shell out that kind of cash. The steep prices meant a lot of hardcore fans couldn’t afford to be there, which is just sad.

4. Crowd Management Was a Mess

Getting in and out of the venue was a nightmare for many. Long entry queues, overcrowded exits, and seating confusion left fans frustrated. For an event of this scale, better planning was expected.

5. Merch Madness

If you wanted exclusive Coldplay merch, good luck. Stock ran out quickly, and the lines were ridiculous. Fans who had hoped to grab a memento from the night were left disappointed, adding to the list of things that could’ve been better.

Coldplay’s India concerts were a rollercoaster. The highs were unforgettable—stunning visuals, a killer setlist, and Chris Martin’s undeniable charisma. But the misses, from sound issues to chaotic crowd management, left room for improvement. Fans came expecting a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and while Coldplay delivered in many ways, a few hiccups held it back from being perfect.

At the end of the day, Coldplay and their Indian fans share a special connection, and this tour only added to the love story. Here’s hoping the next time they visit, it’s even bigger, better, and glitch-free.
