Coldplay goes to the desert!

[Value Buy]

Coldplay decides to play in the Jordian desert for two concerts and refuse to tour until they find an eco friendly way to tour.

I wonder how they will get to the desert to perform?

Who or what is cold play?

Minor rock/pop band popular with people much younger than you.😎

[Tennesseer]

Meh.

this calls to mind another band - Guster.
they had done a few of the music cruises I take every year, until one of the members decided he was appalled by the water created by a cruise ship. between the ship itself, and all the waste onboard, he isn't wrong. Guster stopped sailing these cruises, that have been going strong for 20 years as of next January.

Minor?
How about fairly well known with a good following, some of which are older as Tenn?

My son is a big fan of coldplay.
He's probably never heard of the Jordanian desert though.

Or, you know, they could create stages and equipment for their concerts that don't take 50 semis to haul them around. Just a basic stage would probably cut any travel emissions they make in half. Hell, I'm betting some of the venues have a stock stage for people do use. In fact I'm almost sure of it as I saw Coldplay during a corporate concert. Considering they had no other show within quick driving distance of the state I was in I'm guessing they just flew in their equipment and people for the night.

I wouldn't classify them as minor. They have been around for 20 years. They played the Superbowl half time show. They have 7 Grammys. They get a ton of radio play, etc. Not on my list of favorites, but hardly minor.

Wasn't the lead guy married to Gwyneth Paltrow? Maybe is Apple's dad?

[dondub]

Having grown up with Cream, the Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Who, Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, I find them to be minor. YMMV.

Forgot the Kinks!

I like Coldplay, of course I'm a roller rink DJ on Sundays, and have to keep up with the times.

It's why a lot of people no longer go on cruises.
