Has Coldplay ever played a song twice in the same concert?
As the title suggests, I was just curious—does Coldplay ever repeat a song in the same concert? I recently attended their Mumbai show on January 21, 2025, and to my surprise, they played Yellow twice! It was an incredible moment, and I couldn’t help but wonder if this has happened before.
I tried searching for other instances but didn’t find much. However, ChatGPT mentioned a few times they’ve done this before:
- My Universe (Seoul, 2023) – Performed twice in a row because BTS’s Jin was a special guest, and they wanted to capture it for official footage.
- Something Just Like This (São Paulo, 2017 - AHFOD Tour) – Restarted because Chris Martin messed up.
- A Sky Full of Stars (Multiple shows: 2022 Perth, Zurich, Barcelona) – Restarted midway, either due to a mistake or because Chris wanted the crowd to jump more.
- Fix You (Buenos Aires, 2022 - MOTS Tour live recording) – A partial second performance happened due to technical issues while filming.
Looking at these, it seems like the Mumbai "Yellow" repeat was pretty rare since it wasn't due to a mistake or filming issues. It felt like it was purely because the crowd wanted it.
Have they ever done this purely on audience demand before? Or is Mumbai one of the few times it actually happened?
Would love to hear from fellow Coldplay fans! 🎶✨
