The only song of hers I was very familiar with was her big 2015 hit “Here,” but I found myself liking all the songs she sang, including “I’m Yours,” “Wild Things,” and her latest single “Scars to Your Beautiful” – of which she gave a tremendously moving performance. Next on stage was the 20-year old Canadian singer Alessia Cara, who immediately won me over with her warm, genuine personality, not to mention incredible voice. She performed her songs “Wild Horses,” “Pray” and “The Way I Do,” and finished up with an impassioned performance of her excellent torch song “The River,” which is currently #5 on the Billboard Alternative Chart. Bishop Briggs, who was born in the UK, raised in Japan and Hong Kong, and now lives in Los Angeles, sings a rather intense style of bluesy alternative pop-rock with an almost gospel quality. There were two opening acts – singers Bishop Briggs and Alessia Cara – who were both awesome, and got the crowd energized before Coldplay took the stage.
Chris Martin and his band mates Jonny Buckland, Guy Berryman and Will Champion put on a tremendously colorful and entertaining show, complete with laser lights, fireworks, confetti and huge floating balls. It was the second night of two concerts they played to a crowd of 80,000 at the legendary Rose Bowl stadium in Pasadena, California, and they didn’t disappoint.

This tour will finally have a set list where we feel good about it from start to finish.” He continued, “We’re enjoying playing really old songs. “I think we want to make it like a passport photobooth, so you go in and say, ‘I am Derek, I would like you to play “The Hardest Part”… ‘ So for example, if we are going to play a song like ‘Spies’ off Parachutes, it will be lovely to play it and say, ‘This is for Helen from Bolton as this reminds her of her dad.’ That is a bad example and not a real one.” More: Coldplay on blast after their Super Bowl halftime announcement “We’d ask people to give us a reason why they want us to play that song so there is a purpose behind why we play it. “What we will do on this tour is almost like a request segment,” Martin told The Sun, via NME.
The band will embark on their world tour, A Head Full of Dreams, in March next year, and to ensure it’s engaging and interactive they’ll make song requests from fans part of their set list.Ĭoldplay frontman Chris Martin spoke of the band’s decision to leave open part of their set list to allow fans to pick their favourite tracks, enabling them to dedicate a track to someone or simply say why a certain track is so special to them.
