Singer Chris Martin showed his solidarity with the victims of the attacks by placing a Turkish flag on his piano during the song "Everglow."
He also reacted to the Brexit referendum, thanking the crowd that so many people came to see a British concert. "It hasn`t been an easy week," he added.
Despite the tragic mood of recent events, the band focused on creating a rainbow-filled atmosphere throughout its two-hour concert.
Coldplay also decided to film its newest video in Germany. The "Eisstadion" (Ice Stadium) arena in Hanover was selected as a location for its particular atmosphere.
Some 1,200 extras were invited to take part in the shoot, scheduled to start at 7:30 a.m. on Thursday (30.06.2016).
To avoid images leaking out, cell phones and bags were not allowed in the hall during the shoot. To create the video`s festive atmosphere, the extras were given numerous sparklers.
Fans hoping to see the members of the band were however disappointed, as the musician`s part of the shoot was scheduled separately for security reasons.
The band will be playing in Hamburg on Friday.
