Coldplay
From their indie days in the mid-nineties to the megastardom they enjoy today, the rise of Coldplay has been meteoric. They burst onto the scene and captured our hearts with melancholic anthem Yellow which rocketed their debut album Parachutes to #1 in the UK charts. Since that early release they have continued to dominate the charts with each subsequent album release hitting the hotspot.
Their latest album entitled A Head Full Of Dreams has continued their trend of reaching the coveted #1 and has already been certified double Platinum. Having already toured the new material across Latin America and Europe, they will headline Principality Stadium in Cardiff next July.
