Coldplay is expected to resume the “Music of the Spheres World Tour” in June, with Athens, being the first city they perform in upon resumption. The British band has been on break since February, and when they went on that break, it felt like June would never come. As time flies, here we are, with barely 2 weeks between us and seeing Coldplay again – this creates a joy we cannot hide.
In the spirit of entertainment, pending Coldplay’s resumption, we decided to create an astonishing atmosphere for certified Coldplayers.
Yes, everyone who loves Coldplay and what they do is a Coldplayer. However, we learnt that while at Coldplay concerts, everyone has a section that they derive more joy from. This might be the time when Chris Martin takes the stage, or the time when Will Champion rocks his drums hard enough to create butterflies in our stomachs, or the time when Guy Berryman skillfully strums his guitar strings.
It’s a long list that we’ve narrowed down to 10 and will be sharing with you to decide which type of Coldplayer you are.
This came just in time with the anticipation for Coldplay’s first show of the quarter, scheduled to be held in the Olympic Stadium, in Athens. You can decide the one thing that can separate you from other Coldplayers today through this list.
Before we get down to business, we’ve acknowledged the fact that it’s a bit difficult to secure Coldplay tickets through conventional means. That is why we suggest an alternative ticket marketplace as the best option to get Coldplay Rome tickets at the moment.
Now, let’s get down to business.
Types Of Coldplayers In Coldplay Concerts
We’ve arranged a list of 10 types of Coldplayers usually found in Coldplay concerts. After going through this list, you’ll know exactly where you belong and with whom you belong when you attend the Coldplay concert this June. Don’t forget, June 8th and 9th is the D-Day.
New Coldplayers
New Coldplayers are those people who recently became Coldplay fans. Every concert has a chunk of them, and they are in most cases overly excited to be in the presence of Coldplay. This is one way to recognize them.
The relatable side of this is the fact that we’ve all been considered “New Coldplayers” at a point in time, and we’ve equally felt the excitement that they’ll be feeling at the time.
If you’ve attended Coldplay concerts before or have come across them, then read on because you’ve outgrown this category.
Singing Coldplayers
Singing Coldplayers are those sets of people who know all the songs on the setlist, word for word. To be in this category of Coldplayers, you can be a new or old fan, as there are no restrictions. The only requirement is to ensure you don’t skip or mix a lyric when singing along at a Coldplay concert.
In the concert venue, it’ll be easy to recognize this set of Coldplay fans. They’ll likely be at the foot of the stage all engaged in a “Sing a Thon” with Chris Martin.
If you feel you’re up to the task, and cannot miss a word, then make sure to look for this set when you get to the Olympic stadium.
Dancing Coldplayers
First things first, you don’t want to be close to a dancing Coldplayer when the beat drops. Unless of course, if you’re one of them.
The first place to find dancing Coldplayers is on the kinetic dance floors that Coldplay has installed for their fans in the concert venue. Judging from the size of the Olympic stadium, there will be kinetic dance floors there as well.
So, when you get to the stadium, look around the section of the stadium where there are kinetic dance floors. There you will meet the “Music of the Spheres World Tour” dancers.
Additionally, you can be in any other category of Coldplayer, and still be a Dancing Coldplayer.
Drumming Coldplayers
These guys are Coldplay fans, but love Will Champion more. If drum sets were allowed in concert venues, this set of Coldplayers would bring their drum set and engage in a “Drum a thon” with Will Champion.”
Just like singing Coldplayers, it’s very easy to recognise drumming Coldplayers. Even with the fact that sticks are not allowed into the venue, you’ll find them imitating every sound that Will makes while drumming.
Some of them go to the extent of using their body parts as drums. When they feel too tired to use their body parts, they turn to their friends. In other words, this is a set you don’t want to be close to, while at the concert. Unless of course, if you’re one of them.
Guitar Coldplayers
Guitar Coldplayers have a close relationship with drumming Coldplayers. In this context, this set of people loves Johnny Buckland and Guy Berryman more than they do other Coldplay members.
Guitars are not allowed into the venue, but why do they need them in the first place, when they’ve got their arms to use as guitars?
They match every of Johnny and Berryman’s energy and play each song string for string. In most cases, these sets of people are always at a heightened section of the stadium. This is so they can see Johnny and Berryman enough to imitate the strings they are pulling.
Merchandise Coldplayers
Then there are the classy Coldplayers and their sole mission is to own every piece of Coldplay merchandise they can have their hands on.
People like this are achievers or collectors. They collect the “Music of the Spheres” world tour merchandise while the concert is happening. Sometimes, the queue ends up taking most of their time. But, they’re satisfied with the merchandise they got since some of the merch might be a limited and exclusive one.
They also turn up to Coldplay concerts wearing exclusive outfits that are custom-made for the “Music of the Spheres World Tour.” This is one way to recognize them.
Group Coldplayers
Group Coldplayers are mostly friends who found Coldplay together. This does not fall far off from Coldplay. Because they were a group of friends that decided to form their band. Look how far this has brought them.
A lot of people try to imitate this, and when you look at it with a positive mindset, you’ll realize that the world needs more people like “group Coldplayers.”
They attend the concert in uniforms, wearing the same outfit. Most times, it is a custom-made “Music of the Spheres World Tour” custom-made. That’s the easiest way to recognize them.
Family Coldplayers
Family Coldplayers are just like group Coldplayers. But, this time, every member of the group is not a friend, but a close relative related by blood.
Even though it’s a bit difficult to see a whole family love the same band, it’s not impossible and we’ve been lucky to come across a few.
They mostly stick together in the concert. They go everywhere together. We’re talking about dropping off the bus and quieting together. They also wear the same outfit, as the group Coldplayers would. Think of them as “Intra Coldplayers,” while “Group Coldplayers” are “Extra Coldplayers.”
Casual Coldplayers
Casual Coldplayers are some of the reserved Coldplayers you’ll come across at Coldplay concerts. They are not jumping or dancing Coldplayers but might be a guitar or drumming Coldplayer without showing it.
These sets of people act undisturbed with everything going on around them. You might mistake them for people who are not happy to be there, but that’s not the case.
We feel like Casual Coldplayers are likely introverted sets of people who love Coldplay so much that they want to see them, even when they don’t vibe with anything else. If you’re one such person, you have a special place in our hearts.
Die-Hard Coldplayers
Die-hard Coldplayers comprise every other category that we’ve mentioned above. They engaged in every activity while at the concert. This includes dancing on kinetic dance floors, peddling the stationary bikes to help power the show, and also singing out loud with “Singing Coldplayers” when they feel like it.
They can try to imitate Johnny and Berryman, even when they have no idea of what they are doing. And yes, you’re allowed to be a die-hard Coldplayer. It just means that you love Coldplay in all aspects.
