So Coldplay came and performed at ‘Global Citizen India Festival’ on Saturday, and I’m constantly trying to overcome the regret of not being able to attend the event in person. Sunday was there to bring me back to reality, which is why I would now share my pain with you all. There was so much happening at that event, from Indian artists to Foreign, everyone out did themselves. So here are some of the most incredible moments from Global Citizen India Festival for all those who were not able to attend the event.
Demi Lovato performed with her amazing confidence and golden avatar.
The Vamps also performed with their cute boy charm
Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy came with all our sweet-sweet memories
Amitabh Bachchan sang a poem as well as performed with Farhan Akhtar (including the costume change)

Jay Z started his performance with “Chaiyya Chaiyya” and “Mundian toh bach ke“.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi was present at the event through a conference call and came with his puns. He quoted Bob Dylan and Coldplay, as well as managed to make a demonetisation joke too.

They performed all of their best songs.
And danced with Indian Flag in the most epic way possible.

The event ended with fireworks.
I was not at the festival and had to resort to the live telecast as well as some face timing with my friends present over there. All I can say with that amount of experience is that it was truly magical. Nothing could have been more surreal and enchanting, than Coldplay’s performance.
All we can wish, for now, is that they plan another tour of theirs soon. Very soon. As they said.
