Music of the Spheres tour is one of the most popular in history, with 9.1 million tickets sold - including 320,000 in Dublin
By Monday night, the equivalent of almost one in 20 people on the island of Ireland will have seen the English band perform.
Pat Bannon with Pamela O'Brien, Kyara O'Brien and Daniel Masterson outside Croke Park waiting for the Coldplay concert to start Mercedes Gonsalez, a Spanish woman living in Sandyford, Dublin, booked her standing tickets a year ago. Now, on the day of the concert, she is seven months pregnant. “It’s my first baby and my first Coldplay concert,” she said. In deference to her pregnancy, two friends, Elaena Dominguez and Anny Torres, kept a place in the queue for her.
Their fellow Spaniards Alejandra Gutiérrez and Isabel Rojas used to live in Ireland and have come back to Dublin just for the Coldplay concert. “We have been friends of Coldplay since were were little,” said Isabel. “They are not playing in Spain even though they have a song called Viva La Vida - but they don’t sing in Spanish.”
