Why has it never been cool to like Coldplay?

After nearly 25 years in the spotlight, and despite extraordinary success, coldplay remain the world's most divisive band.

In the year 2000, the music executive and critic Alan McGee wrote an indictment of Coldplay so cutting the band haven’t shaken it in almost 25 years. The Mercury Prize shortlist that year was, he thought, lacking in “characters”. He wanted charisma, he wanted rock ’n’ roll. But he was disappointed. “Top of Mercury’s list is Coldplay: bedwetters’ music.” 

The observation, astute and savage in equal measure, has haunted the band ever since. But those two words barely make a dent in what they’ve achieved: a solid two-and-a-half decades of consistent global success, with nine albums, eight world tours and an unfathomable fortune.

Tonight, they will headline Radio 1’s Big Weekend, and in June they will headline Glastonbury for the fifth time. All these commercial wins before even mentioning the innumerable weddings, funerals, heartbreaks and celebrations they have soundtracked, and the thousands of fans who credit their music with expanding their souls, calming their thoughts and, in some cases, saving their lives. 

Never has a band been the subject of so much simultaneous derision and adoration. McGee’s comment, though unfortunately catchy, was a symptom, not the cause. It has never been cool to like Coldplay. Nor is it cool to be Coldplay. But when faced with a Coldplay song, or a Coldplay show, their talent and emotional power are undeniable.

From their 1999 breakout “Yellow” to the megahit “Clocks” (2002) to “Viva la Vida” (2008) and “Paradise” (2011), and collaborations with the likes of Rihanna and Selena Gomez, Chris Martin et al have turned out hit after hit, show after show, attracting millions of fans from around the world. Their Music of the Spheres tour in 2021 is the third highest-grossing concert run of all time at $811m (£637m) (behind Taylor Swift’s Eras and Elton John’s Farewell Yellow Brick Road ); it was attended by 7.6 million people. So why, despite this undeniable talent and resonance, are they still categorised as a little bit embarrassing?

Coldplay met and formed at university in the late 90s, the tail end of the Britpop era. They began making music that straddled those muddy ballads and the more sad, soaring stuff that would come in the 2000s – well-constructed, contemplative, mid-tempo songs, by white men with big feelings. The simple, visceral beauty of “Yellow” turned to the melancholic piano of “The Scientist” (2002), which eventually gave way to “Fix You”, their monumentally famous 2005 ballad. It’s heartwrenching stuff – “Tears stream down your face/I promise you I will learn from my mistakes” – bolstered by Martin’s tender falsetto, and has now been played almost 1.5 billion times on Spotify.

Unlike Britpop, which was with its working-class, gritty credentials (McGee, for what it’s worth, was the executive who signed Oasis) a genre practically defined by its harnessing of “cool”, Coldplay were clean-cut and wholesome. They weren’t unemotional – but they were seemingly untouched by hardship or darkness. Despite Martin’s duly shaved head and the band’s sporting of baggy trousers and tatty T-shirts, this wasn’t Cool Britannia, let alone sex and drugs: it was four guys from UCL, whose frontman had a first in Latin and Greek. 

In those early years, Coldplay were often compared to Radiohead, who were also signed with Parlophone. Now, you might balk at the comparison – but in the falsetto vocal, the driving choruses, the gut-punch of emotion, you can see it (Radiohead were also, as it happens, privately educated).  

Swifties: it’s time to quit the detective work

But what Thom Yorke and his bandmates lacked in bloke-down-the-pub energy they made up for in gritty darkness. “I’m a creep/I’m a weirdo” went the title refrain for their 1992 breakout hit – while Coldplay basked in much sunnier climes. “Look at the stars/Look how they shine for you”, went “Yellow” (don’t pretend you’re not singing the melody as you read those words). It’s got melodic longing, but the lyrics are dewy-eyed enough to be on an advert – a major red flag for all self-respecting creeps and weirdos. “Clocks”, the band’s 2002 single that overexposed them to the point of spoil, was a little less saccharine – there’s strong tides, tigers, confusion and disease – but it all ends happily ever after: “You are/Home, home where I wanted to go”. As much as you could add one per cent more anguish and happily hear it crooned by Yorke, it’s also four stools and a hand-held mic away from being Take That . 

Even outside their lyrics, Coldplay have always projected a relentlessly positive message that both bolsters their popularity – who doesn’t want to feel good at a concert? – and sharpens their critics’ tongues. Since 2011’s Mylo Xyloto , their stadium shows have often been rainbow themed, with light shows and pyrotechnics. That album’s tour was the first large-scale use of “Xylobands”, LED wristbands that can change colour or flash according to radio signal instructions. At the concerts, the audience, wearing the wristbands, would inadvertently create a light show – a warm and fuzzy bonding experience and a visual perfect for the increasing frequency with which people were posting photos of their lives to the internet. Coldplay still use them at shows to this day. 

What’s not to like? Well, isn’t it all a bit… nice? Warm and wet? It’s certainly not rock ’n’ roll, which requires hatred of yourself (Yorke) and/or other people (the Gallaghers). Even the end of Martin’s marriage was a beautiful beam of opportunity; if it was a rock star move to marry Gwyneth Paltrow, a Hollywood actress, in 2003, the effect was scuppered by her characterising their split as a “conscious uncoupling” for her wellness brand, Goop , 11 years later. Beginning a new chapter and reflecting on your partnership may be good for your mental health, but it doesn’t exactly carry the anguished romance of, say, Nicks and Buckingham. 

One reason all this live-laugh-loving fuels scorn is that it signifies some kind of inauthenticity: that Coldplay are hiding something. British audiences in particular simply do not believe that things could be this good – or, if they do, they resent you for it (incidentally, Coldplay have found enormous success in the US, unlike, for example, Oasis). This feels a little unfair. Notwithstanding the unquestioning devotion of “Yellow”, Coldplay do address complex and negative emotions in their lyrics and the overall sense of the music, which is a soft, symphonic stadium rock, is one of profundity. It’s tear-jerking, heartwarming and faith-in-humanity restoring – but it’s not cynical or manipulative.  

Glastonbury line-up revealed as female artists lead headline acts

Coldplay are not without self-awareness, either. They know they’re not “cool”. (“I always thought that if you were a 16-year-old and liked Coldplay you’d keep it quiet,” Martin told the Telegraph in 2008.) Rather than attempt to pander to their dissenters, they have, wisely, let their popularity speak for itself. But for a Gen-X band of British guys, mainstream success is also part of their reputational problem – from the beginning, and “Clocks” in particular, they have blared in every shop and on Radio 1 near constantly (despite long outgrowing that station’s target audience); they have been ubiquitous at festivals (including that lauded Glastonbury headline slot) and awards ceremonies. And the simple fact of their popularity, by bedwetters or otherwise, is enough for a rock snob to turn up their nose. At least Radiohead have had the good sense not to make an album for almost a decade, lest too many normies find out about them. 

Coldplay’s popularity partly derives from their genre-straddling, which makes them near-universally listenable. As they’ve evolved they have been commercially savvy, harnessing the industry and involving collaborators. If a greater sense of struggle or more nebulous authenticity might have tipped them into rock star territory, there’s no reason that their stadium-filling abilities, their understanding of what makes people happy, and their knack for a good hook shouldn’t make them pop.

The Guardian ’s Ben Beaumont-Thomas wrote in 2019 that they were the “world’s weirdest pop band” – and more radical than they are given credit for. This is much more fitting characterisation than their being some watered-down version of grimy rockers. Their instrumental offering has expanded over the course of their career (think of the soaring strings of “Viva La Vida”), including a pivot in the past few years to synthy pop: 2017’s “Something Just Like This” is a tour-de-force of a pop song, headed by them and the all-American, all-commercial Chainsmokers. Their most recent album, 2021’s Music of the Spheres , was produced by the Swedish pop kingmaker Max Martin – the same man who wrote “Oops I Did It Again”. 

Harry Styles is the perfect male pop star in 2023 - apart from his music

Can we, as a culture, ever appreciate them without sliding back into snobbery? Surely we should: adaptability, an unrecognisable sound and essence, timeless songs that cut right to the heart of a feeling – it’s not to be sniffed at. Few artists can speak of such consistent success and longevity. Coldplay’s festival headline slots this summer are not as a legacy act but as contemporary artists – who happen to be Russell Group graduates in their late 40s, beloved by dads.  

But the bulletproof songwriting and the visceral punch of feeling when you hear the opening chords to “Viva La Vida” are accompanied by a sense of eye-rolling loveliness and unwavering sincerity. We look to pop music, and art in general, to help us understand or externalise our own feelings; there is nothing thorny enough here for Coldplay to “comfort the disturbed”, and certainly not to “disturb the comfortable”. Rather, Coldplay comfort the comfortable – a concept not enormously appealing to those of us in the “disturbed” camp.  

And if this makes you feel defensive, of either your unwavering love for Coldplay or coldblooded hatred of them, try to remember that it all comes down to perspective. For some, yellow seems like the most vibrant colour imaginable – for others, it’s a particularly garish shade of beige.

At the same time, we’re very conscious that the planet is facing a climate crisis. So we’ve spent the last two years consulting with environmental experts to make this tour as sustainable as possible, and, just as importantly, to harness the tour’s potential to push things forward. We won’t get everything right, but we’re committed to doing everything we can and sharing what we learn. It’s a work in progress and we’re really grateful for the help we’ve had so far.

Bad Bunny & Karol G Take the Lead on Billboard’s Monthly Touring Report

Bad Bunny's Most Wanted Tour and Karol G's Mañana Será Bonito Tour rule Top Tours and Top Boxscores.

By Eric Frankenberg

Karol G to Be Honored With Woman of the Year at Billboard Latin Women in Music 2024

According to figures reported to Billboard Boxscore, Bad Bunny grossed $63 million and sold 210,000 tickets in April, logging his second consecutive month at No. 1. The Most Wanted tour’s three-night run at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center contributed $17.8 million of that total, taking the lead on Top Boxscores. Five of his 14 shows in April marked all-time venue highs, among the 16 venue records he’s set since beginning the tour in February.

Including 14 shows in May, the Most Wanted Tour has grossed $207.8 million and sold 703,000 tickets since kicking off in Salt Lake City. Bad Bunny has three more shows to go at San Juan’s Coliseo de Puerto Rico on June 7-9.

Just beneath, Karol G’s Mañana Será Bonito Tour banked $45.1 million and sold 419,000 tickets from nine shows. It’s No. 2 on the gross-based Top Tours chart, but is the best-selling tour of the month, as the only trek to move more than 300,000 and 400,000 tickets. It’s April highlight was three shows at Estadio Nacional in Santiago, Chile, which is No. 2 on Top Boxscores with a gross of $15 million from 168,000 tickets sold.

It’s the first time that two Latin artists top both charts in succession. On Bad Bunny’s five previous No. 1s, stadium rock and country supported at No. 2, via Elton John , Def Leppard & Motley Crue , and Zach Bryan . When Los Bukis and RBD were on top, Dead & Company and Coldplay were runners-up, respectively.

Both artists have been major contributors to Latin’s growing prominence on the Boxscore charts in the post-pandemic era. Bad Bunny was the first artist to finish at No. 1 on the year-end Top Tours ranking who primarily performs in any language other than English, after BTS wound up at No. 3 in 2019. Karol G’s nine-figure gross in 2023 assured that Bad Bunny’s success was not a one-off or a fluke.

Before COVID-19 turned venues dark in 2020, no Latin artist had a tour that grossed more than $200 million. Now, there have been five, two of which are Bad Bunny and Karol G’s ongoing highlights atop the April recap. In addition to Most Wanted Tour’s $207.8 million, the Mañana Será Bonito Tour has earned $263.8 million and sold 1.8 million tickets since launching last August.

To add to the current noise, the Luis Miguel Tour 2023-24 (No. 6) is up to $258.5 million, current through May 19. Plus, RBD concluded its reunion tour in December, with a final gross of $227.1 million.

The other $200-million Latin tour is Bad Bunny’s own World’s Hottest Tour, which grossed $314.1 million in 2022. Both current tours by Bad Bunny and Karol G are ongoing, but it’s unlikely that either will break the all-time high mark among Latin artists set by World’s Hottest Tour. While the former has just three shows remaining, the latter will play 18 dates in Europe in June and July.

Karol G has averaged $6 million and 41,800 tickets per show across North and South America. That pace would guarantee her the Latin touring record, but her shows in Europe will be mostly in arenas, which cuts the potential per-show attendance in half, at least. To boot, ticket prices are lower in Europe than the U.S., across genres.

Europe is an uncommon territory for Latin artists to sell out arenas and stadiums, but the final leg of the Mañana Será Bonito Tour, especially its final four shows at Madrid’s Estadio Santiago Bernabeau, will likely push its overall haul very close to, or over the $300 million mark.

In addition to Latin’s dominance, country artists take another three of the top 10 spots on Top Tours. Luke Combs is No. 3 with $35.7 million, Kenny Chesney is No. 7 with $18 million, and last month’s runner-up, Zach Bryan , is No. 10 with $12.3 million. Beyond the top 10, Kane Brown and Tyler Childers follow at Nos. 11-12, with $11.5 million and $11.4 million, respectively.

Madonna (No. 4) and Nicki Minaj (No. 5) solidify a woman-dominated top five, while pacing the month’s tours among pop and rap artists, respectively. The former is No. 3 on Top Boxscores, with a five-night engagement at Mexico City's Palacio de los Deportes. Rounding out the proper routing of her Celebration Tour, those shows grossed $14.8 million and sold 82,400 tickets on April 20-21, 23-24 and 26.

While New York is often represented atop the Top Venues (15,001+ capacity) chart via Manhattan’s Madison Square Garden, Brooklyn’s Barclays Center takes the No. 1 spot for the first time in April, with $26.7 million and 99,200 tickets sold across seven shows. That’s an all-time high monthly rank and gross for the arena, having previously inched past the $20 million mark last July, when it sat at No. 2 behind MSG.

Stadium Full Of Stars! Who is supporting Coldplay for their Dublin gigs?

I t seems like just yesterday that we were in the trenches trying to get our hands on Coldplay tickets more than a year in advance of their gigs but alas, we are now a mere three months away from welcoming the beloved band back to the Emerald Isle.

The band, fronted by Chris Martin, is set to play Dublin's Croke Park on August 29 and 30 and September 1 and 2.

Their electrifying Music of the Spheres Tour, which kicked off in March 2022, has become world-renowned with Coldplay selling over nine million tickets, making it the most popular tour in the past two years.

The Music of the Spheres World Tour has garnered praise from both fans and critics, earning the band accolades such as Favorite Touring Artist at the 2022 AMAs and Tour of The Year at the 2023 iHeartRadio Awards.

Coldplay recently announced Maggie Rogers and Aby Coulibaly as their support acts for Dublin, with Maggie also performing for Coldplay fans in Munich and Vienna.

Aby previously told EVOKE of finding out she would be supporting Coldplay at Croke Park: 'I was trying to keep my mouth shut, it was such a huge thing that I didn't want to jinx it. I generally don't speak about things until they're confirmed.'

'I said it to my mam just to let her know it was a possible thing that could happen and she was buzzing, then I said it to my sister and she cried. It wasn't even confirmed at that stage!'

Coldplay's Irish fans were put on an emotional rollercoaster back in July over tickets for the band's Dublin gigs.

First there was the drama around the presale tickets that came complete with accusations of Ticketmaster's site crashing before the tickets were released ( Ticketmaster subsequently denied this to EVOKE ), along with lengthy queues.

It looked like fans' patience would finally be rewarded when a third and fourth Dublin date was added, but it later began to feel like Groundhog Day for many as fans became enraged after failing to secure tickets once more.

MCD officially announced that all four Dublin dates had sold out on July 28 and those desperately hitting refresh at home had plenty to say after missing out on tickets yet again.

However, Ticketmaster has officially started the resale of unwanted tickets. Run and keep refreshing!
