I’m not a fan of the music they’ve been making since the mid-2000s, but their environmentally conscious attitude is commendable, to say the least.

[@dd-bq3xv]

they stopped doing rock n roll after 2008 sadly

[@bobjove6511]

so it would seem...

[@ds_78]

@@dd-bq3xv 100% agree...early Coldplay are some of the best songs ever made

[@daniaaal]

@@ds_78 coldplay wouldnt have survived if they stuck with their old style. Being a successful artiste also means keeping up with the taste of people throughout the different generations. Plus they can always play their older songs in tours. The past is not lost. The present is not drowned by the past either.

[@ds_78]

@daniaaal I said early Coldplay are some of the best songs ever made... which is a fact....and respectfully, you are wrong...if Coldplay stuck with their own style, they would of done more than survived, they would 100% still be one of the biggest bands in the world.

[@clairecasal9187]

a great model of love for the earth and the humans on it, great respect for the world, keep up the fight, Coldplay and CAJM the best and all the STAF, well done, a great job, to make the world better with the means we have and this even if you have to use the plane, one day you will find a brilliant idea for that too, it is the GESTURE that we remember, kisses and God protect you,

[@HomeboyHotel]

I went to Coldplay at Wembley in 2016 and 2022. It was the same set and the same wrist band lights.

[@alienated9232]

Coldplay is and will forever be legendary

[@ds_78]

I'd definitely want some money off the ticket, if I was helping to power the show on the kinetic energy floor...or at the very least, a free beer😂

[@ricksmith4894]

Are coldplays wrist bands recyclable ?

[@socal27]

Yes

[@majcaceres7612]

[@ryeofoatmeal]

BTS and four PE teacher 🤣🤣🤣 omg chris

[@sligo34]

Their tickers are crazy prices

[@PHNX_-cu6rb]

ummmm, which concert tickets are cheap loooll

[@gustavocza]

Their tickets are pretty affordable compared to similarly popular artists, you just have to buy them early instead of last minute.

[@sligo34]

I was just so shocked . In Ireland you would prob pay 80 quid or so . I guess they have a huge electric bill and it would help but aren’t the floor all energy connected with your wristband so you power the gig ?

[@amemelia]

The tickets were amazingly good prices. The cheapest tickets for Wembley were 35 quid and next up were 60. Very reasonable price considering its coldplay in Wembley. I've paid similar price for bands not as big and for what you get was very much worth it. 2 supporting artists, 2.5 hours of coldplay, and a night worth remembering

[@RoelCandaeleARTISTSPAGE]

;-)

[@mikeymikeFType]

Sustainable concert yes maybe. When you can run a 44 ton articulated lorry on electric then you’ve cracked it. 42 artics currently being used on their current Portugal run. Running from Le Havre, £1200 to fill a tank! How many miles to the gallon I don’t know

[@Vikingebo]

Great band, great show. But those led wristbands are just one e-waste pile for each show 😢 4 million trees, but also 4 million wristbands. @coldplay not very sustainable in my book.

[@samstudy21]

The wristbands are reused at every show and are biodegradeable…

[@Vikingebo]

@@samstudy21 maybe the casing, but battery, led’s, circuit board? Nah. Besides, I’m betting most people take them home as a souvenir and throw them in the bin after a couple of years in the drawer. First R is Reduce. They are a nice gimmick, but if they really want sustainability, prevent the waste.

[@hgiani]

@@Vikingebo 95% of audience return them, and they are re-used for the whole tour. Figures from venues.

[@eyesinexile4707]

This is well intentioned, but ridiculous. Bicycles to power the show? People want to enjoy the music, not peddle like a hamster on a wheel. The environmental technology just simply isn’t there yet. Maybe some day it will be and it can compete with the means we use now, maybe it never will. It doesn’t change the fact that only western countries will sacrifice themselves for this matter, most other countries around the world like China will continue to expel waste. How are we going to stop that? Increase tensions and start a war with them and actually trash the Earth? So maybe we should stop living in our own delusions and be a little realistic for humanities sake. I think we all can agree bands should focus on music and those who listen to them, not political activism.

[@amemelia]

There are so many bands whose key focus is activism, especially coldplay and has been for years. The screens tell how much energy was powered through the shows and you're more than welcome to hop on and off the bike/ mats. Think you need to go outside and open your ears if you're surprised with activism, especially coldplay

[@simoncooper3]
