Like returning home from a distant journey, Coldplay transported the Optus Stadium crowd (18 November) through a performance that was nothing short of a spectacular cosmic odyssey, guiding us back to earth in four acts, past the Planets, Moons, Stars, and tenderly back Home to Western Australia.

In 2023, a Coldplay concert opens like a triumphant finale — LED wristbands flashing, confetti canons on overdrive, a singalong of 68,000 voices repeating “You’ve got a higher power,” to match frontman Chris Martin’s energy.

Coldplay has been consistently selling out stadiums worldwide for two decades, and for good reason. Their live shows are more than a concert: they are unique, colourful, active participation events.
