Earthquakes, trampoline jumping, compostable bracelets: Welcome to “Coldplay”, where capitalism, children’s birthday parties and saving the world go together easily. A visit to a concert in Berlin.

We’re getting straight to the show, so, what do you mean: to the show, on cold play-Calling the concert just a show is a bit like calling Zlatan Ibrahimović a very talented kicker. But be patient. There’s still the fireworks and the sea of lights, the emotional voodoo of this band, the brilliant songs and the newer ones. And of course the people who pedal in the arena on bicycles and jump on trampolines to generate electricity. The environmental appeals and admonitions on the video screens and yes, probably also the cynicism that something like this always brings with it.
