Coldplay commenced their highly anticipated four-night residency at Croke Park with a sensational performance that left fans in awe. The renowned British band, led by frontman Chris Martin, delivered an electrifying show on the first night of their Music of the Spheres World Tour, leaving a lasting impression on their Irish audience.

The charismatic Chris Martin captivated the capacity crowd with a warm Irish welcome, greeting them in their native language with the words, “Céad mile fáilte go Croke Pairc” and “Tá áthas orainn anseo i Croke Pairc.” This thoughtful gesture set the tone for an unforgettable evening filled with music and camaraderie.

In a heartfelt tribute, Chris Martin invited fans bearing banners onto the stage, paying homage to late Irish music icons Sinéad O’Connor, Dolores O’Riordan, and Shane MacGowan. The band’s homage to these influential artists added a poignant and memorable touch to the concert that resonated deeply with the audience.

The band’s setlist featured an array of their iconic hits, including “Higher Power,” “Adventure of a Lifetime,” “Paradise,” “The Scientist,” and “Viva la Vida,” as well as their debut hit “Yellow.” The highlight of the performance was “Higher Power,” during which Chris Martin expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to perform at Croke Park, acknowledging the crowd’s unparalleled energy and enthusiasm.

Throughout the two-hour spectacle, Coldplay treated the audience to a diverse range of musical masterpieces, including “Hymn for the Weekend,” “Everglow,” “Charlie Brown,” “Human Heart,” “We Pray,” “Infinity Sign,” “Sunrise,” and “Sparks.” Martin also shared his surprise appearance on Grafton Street the previous day, where he delighted fans with an impromptu performance alongside Burna Boy, Little Simz, Elyanna, and Tini.

A light-hearted moment ensued as Chris Martin humorously declared, “Goodnight, goodbye… we gotta go. Bono wants his stage back… enjoy Oasis,” before playfully returning to continue the set. The band’s jubilant performance also featured special dedications, including “The Jumbotron Song,” dedicated to Coldplay manager Phil Harvey in celebration of his birthday.

Ahead of the show, Coldplay expressed their joy at returning to Baile Átha Cliath (Dublin), describing it as a “pleasure” to perform in front of 82,000 impassioned Dubliners at the hallowed grounds of Croke Park. With over 300,000 fans expected to attend the four sold-out shows, anticipation and excitement ran high as concertgoers began arriving at the venue early in the afternoon.

Coldplay’s triumphant return to Dublin, marked by a spirited and exhilarating performance, reaffirmed their status as one of the world’s most captivating live acts. As they continue their residency at Croke Park, fans eagerly anticipate the next three nights of unforgettable music and magical moments.
