Coldplay kicked off their new world tour Friday night in the capital of Costa Rica, the band will arrive in Santo Domingo on Tuesday 22nd with a visual aesthetic and a “flare” of artistic dedication with guarantees that they will jump and sing non-stop for two hours.
The British band delivered an unforgettable experience to the audience gathered at the National Stadium in San Jose, taking them through a musical frenzy that takes them over. from the inception of “Yellow”, from their debut album “Parachutes” (2000) to songs from his updated repertoire collected on the album “Music of the Spheres”, which also gave the tour its name.
A gigantic, peaceful crowd of 43,000 lined up in the empty seats at the National Stadium (another similar number will be repeated this Saturday) to capture the emotion and extraordinary atmosphere that Coldplay inspires.
In addition to his songs, the “coloratura” and charisma of vocalist Chris Martin, the show transmits its magic into the arms of the fans through lightweight bracelets which become a magical part of the night, as they are an integral part of every moment.
The image of the stadium with these LED light bracelets is taken from the movie and they created the perfect, unique, special sensory connection between the band and the audience. each time they light up or change color, depending on the rhythm, be it pop, rock or ballad.
A long hallway in the very center of the field that connects to the main stage (which is not covered) brings Chris Martin, John Buckland, Guy Berryman and Will Champion together. Those present have the best angles in this model to see their artists.
The two large circular screens around the edges and an oval one behind the stage also help to appreciate the details because they focus on the main characters rather than filling them with additional or behind-the-scenes images.
The musical combination of Coldplay is like a wave sweeping over the crowd. in two decades of action, it has already united two generations, between adults and young people. Interestingly, they also attract children and many teenagers.
mighty song “Higher powers” gave odds to the race of emotions who will never stop until you reach your goal.
Along the way, the temperature rises and they culminate with a series of Coldplay-branded songs, among them “Paradise” and “Scientist” and “Viva la vida”.
Chris Martin has a great attraction to women. The screams in the stadium make it clear. A surprise moment was staged where they went downstairs to “hang out” with some fans.
The group conveys pure life every second of the journey, not only through 22 years of deliberate exposure, but also through their real commitment to the environment.
The pyrotechnics used in the show, as well as the confetti and even the bracelets, are biodegradable.
In both Costa Rica and Santo Domingo, the production is handled by Simon Diaz, who has walked through the crowd, checking the greatness of the band and that the logistics set by him, José Chabebe, and the entire SD Concerts team are on track.
For the show on Tuesday 22 at The Santo Domingo Olympic Stadium has a capacity of about 33,000 people.
What they experienced in Costa Rica is no doubt a guarantee that the participants will leave with the words: “It was worth it.” As Chris Martin, who often forced himself to speak Spanish, put it, “it’s a mess.”
