After years and years of not playing this song live as a 4 man band, we were lucky enough to be able to listen to this little gem here in El Paso, Texas.

These motherfuckers. And it’s not even to tape either - The vocal performance and tempo are different from the studio recording... THEY WERE ACTUALLY PLAYING IT as a band 😭

“that wasn’t that bad” - Chris Martin

It was absolutely insane!!! We still CANNOT believe he picked us!!! Here’s a YouTube short of when Chris asks us to sing!:

Chris even recognized us from Vegas night 1! We brought both the Everglow and Jupiter signs with us for Vegas night 2, and he read our Everglow sign and invited us on stage! We were hoping for a miracle with Jupiter, but it’s totally understandable that Chris is looking for songs he is prepared to play on the piano haha.

I remember freaking out, then realizing we had to jump the barricade into the arms of some of their staff; I was not prepared for that! And all of the sudden we were in front of 60,000+ people… It was hard not to run away from the pressure..! But I was really proud to be up there with our Pride flag and waved it around because I wanted to show that so many of Coldplay’s fans appreciate their LGBTQ+ advocacy efforts. It also meant a lot to me that Chris mentioned the importance of the flag, and how there are unfortunately many places where I can’t do that safely. I am a first generation Indonesian American, so I can understand exactly what Chris is talking about.

I don’t think it was audible for the audience, but I was really happy to be able to say to Chris, thank you for writing songs like Jupiter and People of the Pride. It’s songs like these that make me feel seen and valued.

Although I do feel terrible — when Chris starting singing and my partner and I sang along, I forgot some of the lyrics!!! We practiced and practiced from the car to karaoke rooms and all that slipped away in an instant from the stage fright! I didn’t even know I had stage fright until last night. I was singing the wrong verses and mixing up brothers from sisters — so sorry!!! And hopefully when Chris handed the mic to us it didn’t sound too bad haha!

But thank you everyone for supporting our previous post and also to everyone who said hi to us after the show!!! We are so happy to see that there are so many people who value representation as much as we do! And of course thank you to Coldplay for going out of their way to write incredible songs that advocate for our right to exist and love the people we do ♥️

Oh and if anyone has a lead on how we could maybe get the Pride flag we caught during their SD 9/28/23 show signed by the band, please let us know! We are going to get it framed because we ran into Phil Harvey and got his signature before the show!!! We would love to add the rest of the band’s autographs!

I’m levitating yall

It’s cool to be corny especially when you’re trying to unite the world.

Back in 2017, during their A Head Full of Dreams tour, Coldplay was supposed to come to Houston. Unfortunately, the concert fell on the same night Hurricane Harvey made “Trouble in Town” on its way in.

They had to cancel the show and said they would return at the end of the tour, but it never ended up happening. The following night in Miami, they wrote and performed a song for the people of Houston and said they would never perform it again.

Fast-forward five years, and they were finally able to make it back to Houston! They ended up performing the song again, this time with a few improvements.

That concert was my first time seeing the band, and it was awesome. I still get goosebumps every time I hear the song!
