Oasis logged seven. Sometimes it\u2019s the quiet ones you have to watch out for.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Once dismissed as \u201cbedwetters\u201d by Oasis\u2019s provocative label boss Alan McGee, Coldplay\u2019s softer, sleeker and more synthetically modern brand of anthemic songcraft has made them pretty much unassailable as the most successful British band of the 21st Century. Now in its third year running, their Music of the Spheres tour has sold over 12 million tickets around the world, leaving Taylor Swift\u2019s Eras in the dust to make it the highest attended tour in history.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Playing to 50,000 fans over two nights at Hull may be an intimate warm up for Coldplay but they treated it like it was the greatest honour ever bestowed upon a humble rock band. \u201cThis is concert 212 of 360 and as far we\u2019re concerned that\u2019s been 211 rehearsals for Hull,\u201d announced frontman Chris Martin. \u201cWe had to wait till we were tip top ready.

They use so many special effects it\u2019s a wonder there\u2019s any left over for anyone else. Their greatest special effect, though, is Chris Martin himself, whose energy, joy and cheery banter fills all the spaces between songs with humour, character and charisma.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">There\u2019s a delight and spontaneity in evidence all too rare at this level of stadium entertainment. When he mistakenly thanked Hull football club instead of the rugby club for the use of Craven Park stadium, he joked \u201cplease don\u2019t put that on YouTube, we\u2019ve had enough of that viral nonsense\u201d.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Sometimes I think it is a pity that Coldplay have become musically less interesting with every recent release, as if on a quest to hone their sound to be a kind of global pop panacea of uplifting melody and positive messaging. Songs from their early years (The Scientist, Viva La Vida, Clocks, Yellow, Fix You) strike home with an emotional and musical richness that has been sacrificed for pop directness.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">But you can\u2019t really argue with this level of entertainment. Coldplay put on a monumental feelgood show that makes every other stadium band look like they are not trying hard enough.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.telegraph.co.uk\/customer\/subscribe\/01doysa\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Broaden your horizons with award-winning British journalism.
