Coldplay explains eight-year absence from east coast Australia due to past concert review
Summary: Coldplay has not performed on Australia's east coast for nearly eight years due to a negative review of their 2016 Brisbane concert. Frontman Chris Martin shared that he was affected by a critic's comments about ruining a neighbor's night.
The band is currently on their Spheres World Tour, playing four shows in Melbourne and Sydney. They last toured the east coast in 2016 and only performed in Perth last year.
During their first Melbourne show, Coldplay's bassist Guy Berryman was unable to perform due to illness. This marked the first time the band played without all four members on stage.
