Coldplay, who were joined by For Love Choir, opened the set with “Cry Cry Cry,” before turning back the clock and performing2008’s hit single “Viva La Vida.” Then, following another new song, “Broken,” Chris Martin and co. decided to treat the radio’s listeners with a cover of Prince’s “1999.” The set wrapped up with “Champion of the World.”

Coldplay released Everyday Life in November 2019, putting an end to a four-year studio break. The album was well-received and topped the charts in more than 10 countries, including the UK. It wasn’t as successful in the U.S., however, peaking at No.7 on US Billboard 200.

Although the group was expected to follow up the release with a world tour, they opted not to go on the road “until they had addressed concerns regarding travel and the environmental impact of the shows.”

According to the latest report from The Daily Star, the British pop-rockers are set to release a new album in 2019. The magazine cites a source close to the band that claims Coldplay will present their new record by the end of November. The said release will be “arty” and should show a more “experimental” side of the band.

But this isn’t everything the group has in store for us. They will also follow this up with a “mainstream” album in 2020, which will then be followed up with a tour. Of course, so far, this news is only rumors and should be taken lightly until an official confirmation from the band.

It isn’t unusual for Coldplay to release back-to-back albums in a short period of time, featuring different music styles. The band released their sixth studio album Ghost Stories in 2014, which marked their return to more stripped songs, which relied heavily on electronica. 

They followed that with A Head Full of Dreams, which was released the next year and featured a more diverse music style and uplifting themes. This record also proved to be the band’s last new music to date.
