Coldplay a head full of dreams tour august 20

HereвЂ™s a video of Alessia singing вЂњScars to Your BeautifulвЂќ:Дespite the two ladiesвЂ™ awesome performances, I and all the Coldplay fans were thrilled to see our boys finally take the stage at 9:05. Unfortunately, I was not able to get a clear photo of her performance, so this one will have to do.

The only song of hers I was very familiar with was her big 2015 hit вЂњHere,вЂќ but I found myself liking all the songs she sang, including вЂњIвЂ™m Yours,вЂќ вЂњWild Things,вЂќ and her latest single вЂњScars to Your BeautifulвЂќ вЂ“ of which she gave a tremendously moving performance. Next on stage was the 20-year old Canadian singer Alessia Cara, who immediately won me over with her warm, genuine personality, not to mention incredible voice. She performed her songs вЂњWild Horses,вЂќ вЂњPrayвЂќ and вЂњThe Way I Do,вЂќ and finished up with an impassioned performance of her excellent torch song вЂњThe River,вЂќ which is currently #5 on the Billboard Alternative Chart. Bishop Briggs, who was born in the UK, raised in Japan and Hong Kong, and now lives in Los Angeles, sings a rather intense style of bluesy alternative pop-rock with an almost gospel quality. There were two opening acts вЂ“ singers Bishop Briggs and Alessia Cara вЂ“ who were both awesome, and got the crowd energized before Coldplay took the stage. Chris Martin and his band mates Jonny Buckland, Guy Berryman and Will Champion put on a tremendously colorful and entertaining show, complete with laser lights, fireworks, confetti and huge floating balls. It was the second night of two concerts they played to a crowd of 80,000 at the legendary Rose Bowl stadium in Pasadena, California, and they didnвЂ™t disappoint. All these cameos suit the overarching theme of A Head Full of Dreams - how there's a big, bright, beautiful world just waiting to be discovered if you just open your heart and live a little - and if this message is unabashedly corny, under the stewardship of Chris Martin, Coldplay cheerfully embrace the cheese, ratcheting up both the sparkle and the sentiment so the album feels genuine in its embrace of eternal middle-aged clichГ©s.I finally got the long-overdue opportunity to see one of my all-time favorite bands Coldplay in concert on August 21. Appropriately, Coldplay invite more than a few guests to help usher them into this brave new world, the showiest being BeyoncГ©, who overwhelms the band's innate politeness on 'Hymn for the Weekend,' but Tove Lo eases right into 'Fun' and Noel Gallagher amiably allows himself to be swallowed by the gentle wash of guitars and synths. This carpe diem spirit courses throughout A Head Full of Dreams, turning it into a 21st century equivalent of Steve Winwood's Back in the High Life, a divorce record where every end seems like a fresh new beginning. Arriving after the deliberately dour Ghost Stories, this infusion of backbeat and glitz does indeed feel welcome and bold but such determined levity also suggests the gusto of a greying divorcee boogying down on the deck of a cruise ship, determined to seize every bit of life headed his way. He's quite literally having 'Fun' on an 'Amazing Day,' living for the weekend and viewing his impending middle age as nothing so much as the 'Adventure of a Lifetime.' Coldplay match his optimism by tempering their signature soft focus, pushing themselves toward the light and undergirding the newfound positivity via glittering disco beats and a gossamer electronic sheen. Martin gives away the game with his song titles. Where Chris Martin spent Ghost Stories in a mournful mood - his sorrow perhaps derived from his divorce to Gwyneth Paltrow or perhaps not it's best not to read too much into the tabloid headlines - the Coldplay leader sees nothing but sunshine and stars on A Head Full of Dreams.

Released swiftly after Ghost Stories - just a year and a half, all things considered - A Head Full of Dreams plays like a riposte to that haunted 2014 album.
