Good evening. If you’re coming to one of the North American shows in August and there’s a Coldplay song you’d like to hear a stripped-back version of (a track which the band don’t usually play), we’d love you to send us your video – and yours might get chosen and played! Here’s what you need to do…

– Record a short video (15 seconds or less) of yourself on a plain background, somewhere bright and quiet, telling us which Coldplay song you’d like the band to play.

– Please don’t have any music playing too – just you talking.

– Don’t forget to tell us why you’d like to hear your chosen song.

– Upload your video to Instagram with the name of your chosen song as a hashtag (ie #Shiver) PLUS the appropriate show hashtag from below (only one show hashtag per post, please). If you’re going to a show in a city which has more than one show, please also tell us which date you’re going to.
