Coldplay in Concert
On the 4th September we will once again have the chance to listen to a super special concert. Coldplay, the English alternative rock band, formed in London in 1998, with Chris Martin as the lead singer, touch down in Barcelona as part of their tour to present their latest album, “Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends”. I can remember when the album came out last summer because I bought it on the first day and heard it week after week, day after day, because it was so fantastic and it has had been a very successful album. When I heard that the band is just going to play in Barcelona, when I will be there, I was immediately convinced with the need to see them live. But unfortunately the tickets are too expensive for my limited wallet… Coldplay achieved worldwide fame with the release of their single “Yellow”, followed by their debut album, Parachutes (2000).They have sold over 55 million albums worldwide and they are one of the world’s most successful bands of the current decade. Moreover they got 24 awards between 2001 and 2009 for their great music.
Coldplay has a special relationship with Barcelona. After spending a time in the city recording part of the album which they are now presenting on their current tour. I have heard that the bells that can be heard in the song “Viva la Vida” are the bells of the Santa Maria del Mar church. I have seen the pretty little church situated in the Born area of Barcelona. It is considered to be one of the finest examples of Catalan Gothic architecture and with such an information about it and the relation to Coldplay, it is even more worth the visit to La Santa Maria del Mar. And one more interesting thing in addition: the song that gives a name to the album (Viva la Vida) has a special connection with the city of Barcelona because it is the song that Barça’s coach used to play to motivate his players. And it seems to have worked.
In Barcelona, they have become regular performers, with this being their third visit in less than one year and this time the location of the event will be nothing less than the Olympic Stadium. Don’t miss one of the best concerts of the year and buy your ticket here. Have a great time!
