TMZ reports: Ariana Grande’s Manchester concert this Sunday will feature huge acts, including Coldplay and Miley Cyrus … TMZ has learned. Sources connected with the event tell us the charity concert will be held at the Old Trafford cricket ground in Manchester … the same place Beyonce performed last July. In addition to Coldplay and Miley, Pharrell and Take That …

The gay folks who tuned into the Super Bowl to see Beyonce’s halftime performance enjoyed an interesting side perk when Coldplay lead singer Chris Martin got down on his knees to allow a fan to mop his face with a small rainbow flag. Rainbow colors were a major theme at the show as even Martin’s microphone was rainbow-hued. And then …

The Daily Mail recaps: Chris Martin shows off his incredible impression of Rolling Stones rocker Mick Jagger in James Corden’s latest instalment of Carpool Karaoke. The newly-released longer-length clip shows the Coldplay singer hitching a ‘400 mile’ ride with the television host from LA to the Bay area ahead of his Super Bowl performance on Sunday. James can be seen …

Stereogum reviews: The clip, from director Ben Mor, features Coldplay performing at what appears to be an Indian street fair and wandering into the city while fireworks explode above. Beyoncé never appears onscreen with the boys; instead, she plays some sort of Bollywood screen queen, which is some pretty decent casting if you ignore the whole cultural-appropriation angle. It’s a …

“All hail disco Coldplay” says the Atlantic. They write: At some point, it’s typical for rock bands who’ve conquered their genre to dabble in dance. The Rolling Stones did it, the Clash did it, U2 did it, Arcade Fire did it. Now Coldplay has done it, with a gloriously absurd, “Get Lucky”-aping new single called “Adventure of a Lifetime.” Some …

Because I am fan of 7-foot tall singing clowns, I follow Puddles Pity Party on social media, where on Halloween he shared the below (then private) clip with just one follower – with the stipulation that it only be shared with five others – each of whom then had the same stipulation. What followed was a tweetstorm of begging to …

Via Stereogum: Game Of Thrones isn’t what anyone would really call a funny show. (Especially after last week’s ending. Yee.) But it does have funny moments, and most of those moments come from Peter Dinklage’s portrayal of Tyrion Lannister. And now Dinklage will get to do some A-list self-deprecation. As part of the money-raising comedy marathon Red Nose Day, Dinklage …

From the soundtrack of Unbroken.

The soundtrack to Disney’s Frozen tops the list for downloaded albums, followed closely by Taylor Swift’s 1989 and Coldplay’s Ghost Stories.

It’s so great to hear the classic Moroder sound. This clip might get yanked as it’s from a Coldplay fan channel. The remix went on sale today at iTunes.

Rolling Stone reviews the first single from Coldplay’s coming album, which goes on sale next month: “Magic” is more of a return to form. Although the track leads with a bass-heavy, almost electronic-inflected groove – not unlike one of Radiohead’s moodier tracks – Martin’s voice makes it sound like vintage Coldplay. “Call it magic,” he sings. “Call it true.
