A sky full of Xylobands at Felixstowe

The Spa Pavillion at Felixstowe will be lit up with a bright rainbow of colour when Coldplace hit the stage on July 17, from their postponed date of July last year.
Almost exactly a year after their original scheduled performance, the band will be lighting up the sky with their fabulously energetic show which they can now deliver to live audiences, and complete with props.
"We're obviously disappointed with the announcement of no easing of restrictions until July, but the show must go on as they say," says Shane, lead singer and Chris Martin lookalike of Coldplace. "We had our first theatre show since Lockdown on 12th June with a restricted audience, and it didn't affect the atmosphere or enjoyment, both on and off stage. We're just looking forwards to coming and entertaining as many of you as we can, and safely."
Xylobands were first used by Coldplay on their Mylo Xyloto tour, and the band also helped to develop the concept, tailoring it to their show.
"It's a great addition to our show, as it really makes the audience feel they are involved," said Shane. "The theatres look amazing as they light up like a rainbow in time to the music, and they really help bring the authenticity of Coldplay to the performance."
It's not just the audience that are lit up, as Coldplace have received great acclaim from Coldplay's Co-Manager and Creative Director, Phil Harvey, recently, when they were invited to appear in a Coldplay video.
Phil Harvey wrote to the band to say: "Coldplace are pure quality. Thank you for flying the Coldplay flag."
Shane said: "We are obviously overwhelmed that Phil Harvey has taken the time to write to us after we did the video shoot for Coldplay.
"We're so elated that Coldplay approve of what we are doing when we go out on stage, and we really couldn't ask for anything more. It really is a privilege for us to perform their music to a live audience."
"With no dates for a Coldplay tour as of yet, it's great that we can take to the stage and keep their music alive until they can return themselves, and keep the Coldplay name out there," added Shane.
With the theatre and live music slowly able to make a return, this is a great opportunity to experience a fabulous and memorable evening out at an affordable price of just £24.
