Taking a break from selling out stadiums around the world on the highest-grossing rock music tour in history, Coldplay performed at the Music Hall of Williamsburg on Monday to just about 600 happy fans.

One of those fans was Warner Bros. Discovery boss David Zaslav, who was escorted through the VIP queue and asked about his T-shirt size. (Everyone received free gifts, including a lanyard and a concert poster—not just the CEOs.)

The concert, hosted by SiriusXM, began just after 5 p.m. and aired on Coldplay Radio and Alt Nation at 6:30 p.m. As frontman Chris Martin began to thank the audience for coming, he corrected himself. “Since it’s Monday afternoon, I don’t have to thank you so much,” he quipped, noting that his audience usually gives up a Saturday night to sing along to “A Sky Full of Stars.”

“You’re welcome,” Martin joked.

He added: “Getting the band Coldplay to perform before 9pm is one of the most difficult tasks.” The reason for the early start: The band played the “Today” show on Tuesday, which meant there were only a few of them Woke up hours after midnight.

Martin opened the SiriusXM show with “Moon Music” from the band’s new album of the same name, before Coldplay returned to 2002 with “God Put a Smile Upon Your Face,” as Jonny Buckland revved up his guitar.

The band brought out Elyanna and TINI to perform new song “We Pray,” and Martin was self-deprecating about playing songs the audience might not be familiar with. He acknowledged that while it can be “frustrating” for the audience to hear non-hits, every song – even the powerful “Viva La Vida,” which had just sent the crowd into a frenzy – was once a new song. The ones people complain about have become “global super classics” 10 years later, Martin said. He changed that some some of them become hits while others remain “terrible.”

Martin played piano on the live debut of “The Karate Kid,” which featured Daniel LaRusso by name in the chorus, and he brought an audience onstage to dance with him to “Something Just Like This,” which became a EDM Jam developed . Martin engaged with fans during the hour-long performance, waving and gesturing to specific people and giving sincere thanks to those who have remained loyal to the band.

Before playing the 10-minute ballad “Coloratura” from the band’s 2021 album Music of the Spheres, Martin allowed people to go to the bathroom – this track was for the die-hard fans, even if it bored some casual listeners who has secured a place on the guest list. (Although he promised they would play “Yellow” next as a reward.)

To call this show an underplay is an incredible understatement. Coldplay, easily one of the greatest bands of all time, is used to filling football stadiums. Experience the vastness of songs like “Viva La Vida” and “Yellow” HereWithout the earth-shattering response of half a million fans, it was almost surreal.

But the best part of the show came when a guy in the audience shouted the request “Fix It,” which prompted Martin to say, “‘Fix It’ is another song from another band, bro.” After “Yellow” sat down Martin took to the piano to play another song and complained that he had singled out an audience member for misnaming the band’s emotional work.

However, instead of saying “Fix You“Martin improvised another song.

“Here’s a song called ‘Fix It’ / Especially just for this guy,” Martin sang. “It’s okay if you come to a concert to shout the name of a song. / But I’d much rather you come over and not get the name of the song wrong. / Oh ‘Fix It,’ let’s ‘Fix It,’ it was broken a long time ago / Here’s ‘Fix It,’ a famous song called ‘Fix It’ that I didn’t even know until today.”

It’s only a matter of time before this one becomes a worldwide super classic hit.
