SARAH VINE: This is why I am defending the Coldplay cuddle couple. The world has gone mad... this hysterical outcry is out of order
I can't be the only one who thinks that the hysterical global response to the Coldplay 'kiss cam' couple has been completely disproportionate.

Film adaptation receives 0% Rotten Tomatoes score
Ice Cube 's film adaptation of War of the Worlds has received a devastating 0 per cent score on Rotten Tomatoes following negative reviews from critics. The science fiction thriller, a modern spin on HG Wells' 1898 novel, stars Ice Cube and Eva Longoria and was released last week on Amazon Prime Video. Critics, including Peter Debruge of Variety, described the film as a 'feature-length commercial for all things Amazon' due to its extensive product placement. The movie has been widely criticised for its flat performances, uninspired direction, and a lack of narrative depth by both critics and audiences. Despite the overwhelmingly negative reception, the film is currently the most-watched movie globally on Amazon Prime Video, according to FlixPatrol.

Oasis to Limp Bizkit: Biggest gigs in August and how to buy tickets for them now
From Oasis and Coldplay to Bring Me The Horizon, music fans can still get involved right now. August is the beginning of the end for summer 2025. And while we have enjoyed a huge amount of incredible music this year, we're beginning to wind down into the colder months of solo headline tours and album releases. With that said, we're not down and out just yet. Over the next few weeks, British music fans still have a plethora of massive artists performing around the country. From Oasis and Coldplay to Chappell Roan and Shawn Mendes... there's a huge array of tastes and styles. And that's before you look closely at festival line-ups. Below, we've listed the biggest and best names and festivals with concerts and shows across the UK this August. Tickets are still available from either resale website viagogo or retailer Ticketmaster - both of which are linked below. viagogo and resale tickets Sites such as viagogo, Stubhub, and Vivid Seats allow fans to buy resale tickets from other fans. However, it is important to note that ticket conditions often prohibit resale after initial purchase. Those tickets may not be valid for admittance to gigs. Fans intending to buy tickets for live events through resale websites should check the ticket terms and conditions, to confirm whether resale is prohibited, before they buy. Ticket terms and conditions can be checked with the original seller, such as Ticketmaster or Live Nation. If resale is prohibited, tickets bought second-hand could be voided and admission to the event refused. Oasis Oasis are very much the talk of the town, at the moment - and with good reason. The Gallagher brothers have reunited to play some of the biggest shows of their career, and they have some gigs this month in Scotland - over the next week - to continue their Oasis Live '25 tour. Tickets for these are readily available on resale website viagogo, while Ticketmaster has had some tickets come and go over the past few weeks. Here's the links: Coldplay After months of anticipation, Coldplay will be bringing their Music of the Spheres tour to the UK this month. And once they arrive, they'll be playing 12 shows across the country. With two shows in Hull and ten in London, there are plenty of opportunities for fans to get involved with the band's iconic live sound. Be warned, however: the Jumbotron kiss-cam will be making an appearance, as well. So if you've got something to hide, maybe grab the cheap seats at the back. Blackpink The monumental pop band who previously took hold of BST Hyde Park are back - and this time, for some shows that are bigger than ever. On August 15 and 16, Blackpink will be residing over Wembley Stadium for two enormous shows. Tickets for these are available right now with plenty of options left. And, what's more, they're cheaper than ever, with some tickets dropping to around £90 each. VIAGOGO - Buy Blackpink tickets here. TICKETMASTER - Buy Blackpink tickets here.

And the final stop on his journey is in the UK. Mendes is an artist who likes to do things well, and because of that, he's only playing one show in Great Britain this year, and it's at London's O2 Arena. Thankfully, there are tickets floating about - but act fast if you're keen. Reading & Leeds Festival Finally, as summer begins to wane, there are precious few festival experiences left in this year. Reading & Leeds festival 2025 will cap off August, taking over the bank holiday, with some massive artists on the docket. From Bring Me The Horizon and Chappell Roan to Limp Bizkit and Hozier - this is a hugely varied line-up with some massive names. Tickets are still available with some exclusions, so be quick if you want to attend.

But for late-starters looking for tickets, what is the most economical means of seeing Chris Martin and the gang perform? Seatpick took a look across all their UK shows to determine what date and where is the cheapest to see them play. It would appear that despite Coldplay being in the news recently, their UK shows are still on the horizon – though that's not stopped gossip emanating from one of their US tour dates last month. The world and, perhaps more intriguing, the families of two workers were spotted canoodling on Coldplay's 'Kiss Cam,' but the result wasn't seeing two people enamoured with one another; at least not by the end of it. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Instead, the two individuals quickly separated from their embrace, prompting the world to discover that Andy Byron and Kristin Cabot were caught in Boston, leading to the viral moments that swept the internet and the subsequent formal investigations by their place of work. So much for summer romances, right? Chris Martin of Coldplay performs on a stop of the band's Music of the Spheres world tour at Allegiant Stadium on June 06, 2025 in Las Vegas, Nevada. |So, if you are happy to attend a Coldplay concert in the country later this year – and are not in the midst of a torrid workplace affair – then perhaps SeatPick can help you out? They looked at ticket prices across all 12 UK dates in London to find which shows give fans the best deal to watch the band perform their hits live. The popular band is performing 10 nights at Wembley Stadium and two nights at the London Stadium. So, where is the cheapest place to see Coldplay this year – Kiss Cam or not? Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Where are the cheapest tickets to see Coldplay perform on their UK tour? While London is known for being on the more expensive side of attending concerts, it is still set to be the cheapest location to see Coldplay on their UK tour. Their show on September 3 has prices starting at £119.19, according to SeatPicks' study, while their September 3, September 4 and September 7 shows are all healthily under the £150 pricing range to see the band. But that doesn't tell the whole story; while tickets to Coldplay's performances at Kingston upon Hull might exceed the starting price for those London shows, they have the much lower maximum price of £1,779.15, indicating that although you can find cheaper tickets for the London shows, those high-end, premium tickets are much more expensive in the capital compared to Kingston upon Hull Full list of Coldplay 2025 UK tour prices - from cheapest to most expensive London (September 3): Starting Price: £119.19 | Maximum Price: £5,625.42 London (September 8): Starting Price: £130.50 | Maximum Price: £3,094.59 London (September 4): Starting Price: £132.24 | Maximum Price: £4,972.92 London (September 7): Starting Price: £140.07 | Maximum Price: £3,919.35 London (August 31): Starting Price: £149.64 | Maximum Price: £4,553.58 London (August 26): Starting Price: £147.90 | Maximum Price: £7,908.30 London (August 27): Starting Price: £151.38 | Maximum Price: £2,737.89 London (August 30): Starting Price: £152.25 | Maximum Price: £7,624.68 London (August 22): Starting Price: £175.74 | Maximum Price: £3,674.88 London (August 23): Starting Price: £189.66 | Maximum Price: £4,869.39 Kingston upon Hull (August 18): Starting Price: £193.14 | Maximum Price: £1,779.15 Kingston upon Hull (August 19): Starting Price: £237.51 | Maximum Price: £1,779.15 Are you off to see Coldplay perform on their 2025 UK tour - and have no qualms if you appear on a 'Kiss Cam'?
