Sydney review: Coldplay dazzles, and keeps the rain away at the Allianz Stadium

"It's gonna be a good one, boys!" cried Coldplay singer/guitarist/piano guy Chris Martin, accurately, to his cohorts during opener Hurts Like Heaven, writes SMH in our first featured review of Coldplay's show at the Allianz Stadium in Sydney, Australia .

Hey could you tell me what time I should get there tonight, I have tickets to the standing area, were there people there super early to be up front? Also what time is it all finished - need to know if I can make the last train or not. Cheers! Can't wait!

Coldplay come on at 9pm and finish at 10.30 pm. It's worth hearing the Temper Trap from 7pm.
Enjoy, I know you will :)

Sh it

kelly, all depends on how close to the stage you want to be. with the enormity of the stage and the screens there is not a bad seat in the house. if you are in the b section there is a little stage there that they play two songs on with their first encore after paradise. getting out can be pretty slow. every teardrop is the last song so i suggest you head for the exit the minute it finishes. one thing i will say is - you have no idea what you are getting yourself into. i have seen most of the worlds biggest bands and that was unbelievable. enjoy
BTW the temper trap were impressive. they came on at aprrox 6.30

Thanks heaps guys!

Hope Chris remembers he is in Sydney tonight after singing "hello Melbourne" in his intro last night!

[David]

Contrary to the above, Coldplay came on at 8.30pm!

Cold play was great the show was amazing. Getting home was a nightmare. 3 hours later. Well worth it though

[Felicity]

I went to BOTH shows. Stood in line from midday and had the best front moshpit possie on Saturday night. Went home and bought silver seats for myself and my kids straight after the concert on Saturday for the following night. Still had awesome view from the side down on to the stage. Kids loved it, I loved it. Best concerts ever. Well done Coldplay - you outdo yourselves each and every time you visit Sydney!

[Steven of Perth]

Travelled overnight to see Coldplay in Sydney. Hve seen last two times in Australia and as they weren't coming to Perth, it was worth every cent and more. Best concert ever. Sound, lighting, fireworks, the works. hope they come to Perth next time around.
