During their recent Wembley residency, Coldplay were joined on-stage by a raft of special guests including Steve Coogan in character as Alan Partridge, as well as Stormzy, Craig David and Natalie Imbruglia.
The Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger attended one of the London dates. Sharing a video on social media, he wrote: “Had a great time watching Coldplay last night. A real busman’s holiday!”
In a glowing five-star review of Coldplay’s Wembley concert on August 16, NME hailed the band for creating “a joyful spectacle; a masterclass in how a massive pop show can be done”.
“This show is a welcome dose of serotonin; a feel-good celebration. The best Tuesday of our lives? That’s high praise indeed – but given the reception from the audience, you’d argue that for thousands of punters, it’s certainly up there.”
