Cool video, but would be great to see what the sphere animations looked like behind them.
JGantic September 23, 2026
Agree. Hard to tell that they're even in the sphere.
JGantic September 24, 2026
I think the original post was a mistake, as I don't think Coldplay has ever played in the actual Sphere. I think the author mistook "Music of the Spheres" as being "in the Sphere" 😂

Glastonbury is a bucketlist item for me. One of these days...
Siamese_Sam October 6, 2026
Check that...Vegas : ) Love the ET opening music. John Williams is one of the all-time greats.
ampcrowd October 12, 2026
That title has caused an all-time level of confusion 😂
coastallover October 12, 2026
Honestly, “Music of the Spheres at the Sphere” sounds so plausible that I get how the mix-up happened. Still, that would be a very fitting show.
CoastalWave October 13, 2026
The branding basically wrote that fake headline for them, lol.
coastal_orbit October 13, 2026
Bring back the weird eras.
amber_record October 13, 2026
an absolutely lethal naming decision lol
coldbridge85 October 14, 2026
Because they probably weren’t, lol.
coldghost October 14, 2026
Some performances are built for crowds.
amber_record October 14, 2026
glasto coldplay just hits different tbh
coldbridge85 October 15, 2026
The live version is usually the correct version, imo.
cosmicraven October 15, 2026
lol yeah, title totally fooled us
BsideMoon October 15, 2026
Music of the Spheres got us 😂
cherryclub October 15, 2026
early Coldplay at Glasto? unreal
analog_demo October 16, 2026
give me a scruffy old-school set over the giant spectacle stuff any day, ngl.
ColdDrums October 16, 2026
Turns out the sphere was metaphorical.
cherryclub October 16, 2026
Glasto getting a properly early-era set is still the dream. Give me Politik over another parade of the biggest hits every time, sorry not sorry.
cosmic_head03 October 16, 2026
Absolutely. A full early-era set with Politik, Amsterdam and some Parachutes deep cuts would be hard to beat. The big hits can wait for once.
ChorusLover October 16, 2026
the huge singalongs are great, but i’d love to hear one of the quieter songs get a proper festival moment too.
cosmicwolf October 17, 2026
yes!! give me Amsterdam or Warning Sign in that slot and i’d be emotionally finished 🥲
cassettehead October 17, 2026
Still, an actual Coldplay Sphere run would suit the newer material almost too well.
arcade_tape October 18, 2026
Give me old-school Glasto Coldplay.
BlueOrbit October 18, 2026
the mud would have added reverb.
cosmicwolf October 18, 2026
absolutely. strip it back, let the guitars be huge, and bring out a deep cut nobody was expecting 😭
ColdDrums October 18, 2026
The mud reverb would be perfect.
ambercassette October 18, 2026
Exactly, free festival production.
basementcore October 19, 2026
festival Coldplay without the galaxy budget.
arcadewave October 19, 2026
Honestly, stripped-back Coldplay would probably hit harder than half the fireworks.
ambercassette October 19, 2026
Honestly they need to play there eventually just to complete the bit lol
BasslineWave October 19, 2026
the venue booked itself tbh
coastallover October 19, 2026
That is peak Coldplay to me.
amber_record October 19, 2026
i’d take an Everyday Life track in a stripped-back festival slot over the obvious hits, tbh. let the weird stuff breathe for once.
analogsynth October 20, 2026
exactly, every stomp gets a natural delay pedal lol
AnalogHeadliner October 20, 2026
Warning Sign would absolutely ruin me in the best way. I’d pick Amsterdam by a hair though — that ending deserves a whole crowd losing it together.
cosmictide October 20, 2026
ngl, a full crowd singing the scientist with zero extra production would be enough for me.
ColdDrums October 20, 2026
The title was working with a very generous interpretation of “sphere.”
AnalogHeadliner October 21, 2026
I’d lose my mind for Amsterdam in that kind of bare-bones festival set, ngl.
arcade_tape October 21, 2026
A stripped-back early-era set ending with Warning Sign would be absolutely devastating.
bsidechorus98 October 21, 2026
same, bare-bones Coldplay is somehow even more dangerous emotionally.
bsidechorus98 October 21, 2026
shiver in a bare-bones festival set would genuinely wreck me. no lasers required.
AnalogHeadliner October 22, 2026
Green Eyes in a festival set is my pick, tbh. Keep the big closer if you must, but let the middle of the set get properly quiet and weird for a minute.
amber_record October 22, 2026
green eyes is the right deep-cut pull, but i’d take warning sign over it every time. that outro is built to leave a field completely stunned.
coldbridge85 October 22, 2026
Counterpoint: I’d still keep Viva la Vida. A festival crowd needs one song to collectively become a slightly off-key choir.
cosmicraven October 22, 2026
honestly, stripped-back Coloratura would be unreal too. let it build slowly with nothing but the band, then the whole field can go completely feral at the end.
cassettehead October 22, 2026
I’d take “Yellow” with the arrangement kept really spare. It can carry a huge field without any of the usual fireworks.
cherryhead October 23, 2026
Opening with Politik in a stripped-back festival set would have been the right kind of dramatic.
cherryhead October 23, 2026
Low would be perfect stripped back.
