Stadio San Siro

The San Siro is quite an incredible stadium. It’s built unlike any of the other places we’ve been to in that it’s much more of a ‘tall box’ than a ‘long bowl’. This means that the B-stage at the end of the ramp is almost touching the lower seats at the ‘back’.

If you combine a venue that puts tens of thousands of people up close and personal, with one of the world’s most passionate crowds, what do you get? One hell of a night, that’s what…

It’s not just the audience that brings the Italian passion this evening. We also have Davide Rossi joining the guys for Viva. The strings you hear on that song (and so many other Coldplay songs) are all him and his beaming smile as he draws his bow tells you all you need to know about how much he’s enjoying this.

There’s more guests later in the show when the younger generation of the family Martin jump up with their friends to add backing vocals to Up and Up.
