The stadium, packed to the brim, was buzzing with energy as Chris Martin and the band delivered an unforgettable experience. The crowd, electrified by the performance, witnessed an incredible display of Coldplay’s musical brilliance, with videos and images of the concert flooding social media.

In an endearing gesture, lead singer Chris Martin greeted the audience in Gujarati, saying, “Tame logo aaje badha sundar laago cho. Hu tamare shahar ma aavyo chu. Kem cho Ahmedabad?” (“You all look so beautiful today. I have come to your city. How are you, Ahmedabad?”), which was met with thunderous applause.

The highlight of the night came during the band’s iconic song “A Sky Full of Stars,” when the stadium transformed into a dazzling galaxy of twinkling lights. Fireworks illuminated the sky, adding to the surreal atmosphere. Chris Martin paused for a moment, encouraging the audience to put their phones down and enjoy the magic of the moment. “Your phone in your pocket, your hands in the sky,” he urged, and the crowd eagerly followed suit, singing along to the acoustic version of the hit song.

The powerful and emotional performance was followed by a heartfelt thank you from Martin, who expressed his gratitude for the overwhelming response from the audience. Coldplay also took to their social media, posting a message of thanks to the people of Ahmedabad for making the concert “totally mind-blowing.”

“We just had our biggest ever concert. Totally mind-blowing. Thank you Ahmedabad, see you again tomorrow! And if you’re in India, please join us on Disney+ Hotstar from 7.45pm,” the band posted.

Earlier in the day, Coldplay shared a fun moment on their X account, posting a picture of a cricket ball they had drawn with a cheeky note: “I think even Jasprit might struggle to bowl with this badly drawn ball, but at least it is almost spherical. It is such a pleasure to be here at this amazing stadium and to play in Ahmedabad for the very first time.”

The excitement continues as Coldplay prepares for their second performance in Ahmedabad on Sunday, which will also be streamed live on Disney+ Hotstar for fans around the world to enjoy.

With an unforgettable first concert and a second performance on the horizon, Coldplay has truly etched a memorable chapter in Ahmedabad’s musical history.

New Tickets Released

On January 11, 2025, BookMyShow announced that more tickets for the Coldplay concerts would be made available exclusively through the BookMyShow app. The new batch of tickets went live at 4 pm IST. This announcement comes after the initial rounds of tickets for the January 18 and 19 shows sold out in minutes when they were released back in October. A third show on January 21 was added due to high demand and also quickly sold out.

Fan Reactions

Despite the excitement of additional tickets becoming available, many fans have expressed disappointment, questioning why the tickets weren’t offered earlier. Some took to social media to voice their frustration, comparing the situation to returning to an ex-partner and hoping for a better outcome.

One fan wrote, “This is what it feels like when you keep going back to an ex, hoping everything would be different this time.” Another comment raised concerns about the fairness of the ticketing process, stating, “If the tickets were sold out and the stadium did not have the capacity, how can there be more additions?”

Others expressed their discontent with the timing of the additional ticket release, with some saying, “These tickets could’ve just been sold when the other tickets were sold, and people would have planned a much better trip.” One user even humorously added, “This is officially Squid Game – Coldplay Edition – Everyone gonna get eliminated trying for these tickets.”

The Return of Coldplay to India

Coldplay’s return to India comes after more than eight years since their last performance in the country at the 2016 Global Citizen Festival in Mumbai. The British band, consisting of Chris Martin, Jonny Buckland, Guy Berryman, and Will Champion, will perform across five concerts in India. In addition to the Mumbai dates, the band will perform in Ahmedabad on January 25, 2025, at the Narendra Modi Stadium.

The Mumbai shows are particularly special, as Coldplay’s presence in India has generated significant excitement among fans. Known for their global hits such as Yellow, The Scientist, Fix You, Viva La Vida, and A Sky Full of Stars, Coldplay’s concerts have consistently been a major draw for music lovers worldwide.

As fans continue to scramble for the newly released tickets, the excitement surrounding Coldplay’s return to India is palpable, but the frustration over ticketing remains a key topic of discussion.
