Coldplay playing to a full house at Gillette Stadium, Foxborough, Massachusetts on July 18th, 2025. That got a warm reception during the concert, but it created an adorable frenzy on social media. To add an interactive and forward-looking addition to the show, lead singer Chris Martin invited cameras to scan the audience. He really got into his “Jumbotron Song,” performing a couple of verses for each of the honorees. The event was held on a Wednesday evening and coincided with Coldplay’s current tour.
The cameras moved back and forth through the crowd, zooming in on a man in a pink birthday sash. Wild cheers went up from the assembly as the audience recognized him. The attention quickly turned to a pair of participants clad in full banana suits. Martin just had to throw in a funny aside about the guys’ weird costumes. He joked at the time, “Either they’re having an affair or they’re simply very bashful.” The audience burst into laughter, and his comedy pulled fans further into the immersive experience.
