Coldplay A Head Full of Dreams Tour


A Head Full of Dreams Tour is the seventh concert tour currently being undertaken by British alternative rock band Coldplay, launched in support of their namesake seventh studio album A Head Full of Dreams. Marking the band's return to large-scale venues, after the brief and intimate Ghost Stories Tour, the tour will visit stadiums and arenas across five continents, with a total of 120 shows penned.

Lucky me, they held their concert  in Asia. And they came to Singapore...wohoooo~!
My dream came true! I really want to see their concert! Since they only held in Europe and America, Asia tour is the most awaited-moment. The highly anticipated return of Coldplay to Singapore after 8 years has been met with a tremendous response from Singapore and regional fans. Tickets for the first show were completely sold out within two hours of launch with just over 40,000 tickets taken up in total for the two presale

They held their concert in Singapore Sports Hub exactly at Singapore National Stadium.
The Singapore Sports Hub is a state-of-the-art, fully integrated sports, entertainment and lifestyle hub that was built in 2014 and hosts sporting and entertainment events. It replaced the former National Stadium on the recommendation of then Community Development and Sports Minister Abdullah Tarmugi in Parliament in 2001. His proposal was based on a Committee on Sporting Singapore report to promote a culture of sports in the city-state.

  

The A Head Full of Dreams Tour boasts extensive laser light and pyrotechnic visuals similar to the Mylo Xyloto Tour, and also sees a reappearance of the Xylobands as a central part of the show's visual design. The tour consists of eight legs, with a total of 123 shows across Latin America, where they performed for the first time since the Viva la Vida Tour, Europe, North America, where they embarked on their very first stadium tour of the United States, Oceania, and Asia. The first show of the tour was held at the Estadio Ciudad de La Plata in La Plata, Argentina, on 31 March 2016 and is set to conclude at the same venue on 15 November 2017.


Similar to the Mylo Xyloto Tour, the A Head Full of Dreams Tour is typically split into five parts; an introduction on the main "A-stage", a performance on the "B-stage", a second set on the A-stage, a set on the outward "C-stage", and finally an encore on the A-stage. Songs played on the A-stage are accompanied by the show's full laser light and pyrotechnic visuals, while performances on the B-stage are not accompanied by such, and songs played on the C-stage are strictly acoustic performances.


Shows typically feature over 20 songs on the setlist, many of which played differently from the recorded versions of the songs, usually combined with intros and outros from other tracks. For example, "Paradise", which closes the opening set of the show, is played with a remix of the song by Tiësto as an outro, while "Fix You" is played with the instrumental background from "Midnight". A majority of the songs played during the tour come from the namesake album A Head Full of Dreams, and from the band's previous studio album, Ghost Stories, though songs from the band's earlier discography, such as Mylo Xyloto and A Rush of Blood to the Head are routinely played and shuffled across the setlist between shows. Frontman Chris Martin expressed satisfaction with the setlist, stating that the band were "enjoying playing really old songs", and that the tour "will finally have a setlist where we feel good about it from start to finish.
