How to get to Coldplay at Wembley Stadium: complete London public transport guide
The band's upcoming 10-day residency (starting August 22) will claim the record for the most appearances at Wembley in a single tour. And we don't want to get your hopes up, but last time the band played the stadium in 2022, they brought out special guests Jacob Collier, Natalie Imbruglia, Simon Pegg and Stormzy. We'd bet good money that there will be more VIP appearances lined up for the grand finale.

Chris Martin defends keeping Coldplay kiss cam despite Astronomer CEO 'debacle'
Chris Martin has revealed why his band Coldplay are keeping the kiss cam at their stadium shows, after it caused a scandal last month when it captured a billion-dollar tech firm CEO cozying up to a female colleague. Andrew Byron, the head of the AI startup Astronomer, was broadcast on the big screen at Boston's Gillette Stadium with his arm around the company's HR chief Kristin Cabot during the band's gig in mid-July. They rapidly covered their faces, with Byron diving out of view and Cabot turning her back to the camera, prompting Martin to mischievously joke from the stage: ' Either they're having an affair, or they're just very shy.' Public records suggested both Byron, 50, and Cabot, 56, were married but were living at different addresses from those of their spouses. The awkward moment went instantly viral and Byron and Cabot resigned from Astronomer, which then released an ad starring Martin's ex-wife Gwyneth Paltrow. Coldplay have retained their kiss cam in the wake of the furor, and now Martin has defended the decision to do so at a concert in his native England, via Hull Live. While playing the Sewell Group Craven Park in Hull this Monday, Martin explained that he had a longstanding habit of bantering with audiences. Bringing up the Astronomer incident, he slyly observed that 'it is only recently that it became So yeah, life throws you lemons and you've got to make lemonade.' As a result, he has no plans to stop his interactions with the audience, proudly declaring that 'we are going to keep doing it because we are going to meet some of you.' He caught sight of a fan in the crowd with a sign that read: 'three times in three months,' and quipped: 'You were at that Boston gig. Well, okay, thank you for coming again after that debacle.' When the scandal first exploded across the internet, country star Morgan Wallen also made a cheeky onstage reference to it at a concert in Arizona. 'Anybody in here with their side chick or whatever, I think you're safe here,' he said in fan footage posted to TikTok, before vamping: 'I don't condone cheating…anymore.' Paltrow then sent fans into a frenzy by joining Astronomer as a 'temporary spokesperson' and starring in a video for their LinkedIn. 'Astronomer has got a lot of questions in the last few days, and they wanted me to answer the most common ones,' she said, prompting some text to appear on the screen showing one such query that began: 'OMG! What the actual f**k.' The text was then quickly cut off and Paltrow reappeared onscreen, deadpanning: 'Yes! Astronomer is the best place to run Apache Airflow. We've been thrilled to see so many people suddenly interested in data workflow automation.' In late July, Cabot was glimpsed for the first time since the controversy broke, watering the flowers and shrubs at her home in Rye, New Hampshire. She was without her wedding ring at that stage, but the state of her marriage to her husband - Privateer Rum CEO Andrew Cabot, 60, who is an heir to the $15.4billion Cabot family fortune - remains unknown. The same is true of Andy Byron's marriage to his wife Megan Kerrigan, who shut down her social media accounts when the kiss cam footage went viral.

Hull's volunteers get free Coldplay tickets and tea party
A group of volunteers received free tickets to see Coldplay perform in Hull as part of the band's Music of the Spheres World volunteers from Hull CVC, a voluntary sector support charity, were invited to celebrate the "hard work" they put into the city. Jenny Preston, 52, of Hull CVS, said: "Everyone that volunteered over the last couple of days has got tickets for the concerts. They've also donated 20 tickets to local charities for people who wouldn't otherwise have had the opportunity to see the concert."The charity also partnered with the Love Button Global Movement to host a special afternoon tea. On Monday, the volunteers took part in a community garden renovation project at Holderness House in East Hull, which is being restored as a community hub. This was followed by the tea party on Tuesday. The charity said Coldplay chose Hull as one of only two UK stops on their world tour because of the city's strong working-class roots, welcoming spirit, and passionate Preston said: "We've done a garden renovation project and today we've opened the gardens up to the city's volunteers to say thank you for everything that they do to help."I think volunteers are our unsung heartbeat of the city." She said: "We're absolutely delighted to welcome them [Coldplay] to the city. Hopefully they can see what a vibrant, enthusiastic bunch we are and really be able to celebrate the amazing atmosphere that's going on in the city." Volunteer Sue Clarke, 71, said the tea party was "a really lovely opportunity" for volunteers from all over the city to get together."It was really nicely organised and an afternoon tea is always very lovely," she said. "I love my city and I wanted to be part of it from City of Culture in 2017 and I've just kept volunteering since then," she said. Lucy Phillips is a volunteer for the Love Button Global Movement, a non-profit organisation created to inspire people get involved in volunteering, which helped put on the tea said: "We put an afternoon tea on as a thank you to volunteers all over the city."Thank you to them for all the hard work that they do and it's just been a really lovely atmosphere."

Coldplay review – after 12m tickets sold, this tour is still a mindblowing spectacle
Fireworks explode, lasers shoot, giant balls bounce and a sea of LED wristbands pulse in synchronicity as a rugby stadium in Hull is turned into an exploding candy shop of colour. Now in its third year and approaching a final 10 nights at Wembley Stadium – though it's expected to return from 2027 – Coldplay's Music of the Spheres tour is now the highest attended in rock history with more than 12m tickets sold. It's easy to see why. Over the Springsteen-esque shimmer of Higher Power, Chris Martin and co offer up a dizzying dose of Technicolor funk-pop with a level of production that is as impressive as it is overwhelming. At times it's like being plugged into a VR version of a 'good vibes only' LSD trip, including sections with the band dressed as cute aliens and the audience wearing 3D glasses that turn everything into lovehearts. There's no kiss-cam drama tonight and Martin is in effusive form, gushing praise for Hull and the crowd to almost sycophantic levels. It's arguably futile to criticise the cloying earnestness and heavy-handed sentiment of Coldplay, given how baked into their DNA and appeal it is by now, but it's laid on so thick it can feel exhausting. However, it is lapped up thirstily. When Martin tells the audience to 'dance like nobody's watching' over the EDM stomp of A Sky Full of Stars, to wave at someone in the crowd as if they are 'a best friend you've not met yet' during the eruptive surge of Yellow, or to send positivity to the people of Sudan through wiggling their fingers as pyrotechnics pop, they do just that. Fix You is turned into an almost candlelit mass-type singalong as the audience's wristbands turn into a warm yellow glow, and from a pounding version of Clocks to the gentle acoustic hum of Sparks, the band command, control and own every inch of the vast space as they move around it. An attempt at a karaoke-style singalong with the crowd to All My Love as a finale falls flat but it matters little. Fireworks are soon exploding again, bookending an evening that is pure visual extravaganza and intoxicating spectacle – like a rush of sugar to the head.
