When Coldplay announced three shows in Singapore, I was beyond excited. They’ve always been more than just a band to me — their songs resonate deeply, and there’s something magical about their music that feels personal. Naturally, I was ready to snag tickets the moment they went on sale at 10 AM in June 2023, nearly a year before the concert.
But, oh boy — Ticketmaster had other plans. My queue number was 938,000. Let that sink in. With the National Stadium’s capacity at around 60,000, and assuming people buy an average of 4 tickets each, that’s only about 45,000 people getting lucky. You do the math. I lost hope, my friends lost hope, and it felt like Coldplay was slipping away.
Then, thanks to the insane demand, they announced two more shows. Still no luck for me. Then came a sixth and final show — and that’s when fate worked its magic. A friend called me saying, “I GOT THE TICKETS!” I was thrilled to my core. Coldplay on January 31st, 2025, in Singapore.
We got there early and found a great spot in the standing deck. The atmosphere was already buzzing, and then… Coldplay happened.
The experience was pure magic. It’s hard to put into words how good they were live — the energy, the visuals, the music. Every song hit differently, and the vibe was electric. It felt like the entire stadium was one, singing along, swaying to the beats, and living in that moment together.
I captured some videos from the concert — short clips, because I wanted to be present and live the moment rather than watch it through my phone. And, of course, I didn’t record A Sky Full of Stars, because Coldplay has a beautiful tradition: they ask the audience not to record that song and just experience it fully. And trust me, that moment is etched in my memory forever.
And guess what? I’m watching Coldplay again now in Mumbai, and I couldn’t be more excited! I’ve seen them once, and the fact that I get to experience their magic all over again is a dream come true.
So enough of my blabbering. Here’s a video of some unforgettable memories from Singapore. Enjoy. 💙💛
