Coldplay fans, the countdown has officially begun! The legendary band is all set to perform in Mumbai on January 18th, 19th, and 21st, 2025, at the DY Patil Stadium. If you’re one of the lucky ones with tickets, you’re probably buzzing with excitement. But before you get ready to groove to Fix You and Viva La Vida, here’s a checklist of 10 things you absolutely must avoid while prepping for the big night. Trust me, these tips will make your experience so much better.
1) Skipping Deodorant
It’s going to be hot and crowded. Please don’t forget to wear deodorant—preferably a strong one. You’ll thank yourself (and so will everyone around you).
2) Leaving Long Hair Untied
If you have long hair, tie it up. Not only will it keep you cool and sweat-free, but it’ll also save the person behind you from getting smacked or tangled in your hair while you’re dancing.
3) Wearing Heavy Foundation
Concerts are not the time for a full-coverage foundation. It’ll melt under the heat, leaving your face patchy. Instead, go for funky, lightweight makeup, think bright eyeliner or glittery eyeshadow.
4) Overpacking Your Bag
DY Patil Stadium has strict security checks, and large bags are a hassle. Stick to a small crossbody bag with essentials like your ID, tickets, phone, and wallet.
5) Wearing Heels
Heels may look cute, but they’re a nightmare for a concert. Opt for comfy sneakers—you’ll be standing, jumping, and walking a lot.
Your phone will likely die after endless selfies, stories, and Google Maps to the venue. Don’t forget a fully charged portable charger to keep the party going online.
6) Ignoring Venue Layout
DY Patil Stadium is huge. Avoid wandering aimlessly by checking the seating and entry points in advance. Pro tip: Plan a meeting spot with your friends in case you get separated.
7) Don’t Wear Clothes That Glow in the Dark
It might sound fun, but glow-in-the-dark outfits can be distracting for others, especially during Coldplay’s iconic light shows. Stick to vibrant or metallic colours that pop without being overpowering.
8) Avoid Leaving Without a Group Plan
If you’re attending with friends, set a meeting spot both inside and outside the stadium. With so many people, getting separated is almost inevitable, and poor cell service can make it hard to reconnect
9) Avoid Drinking Excessive Beverages Before Entry
Sure, stay hydrated, but overdo it and you’ll find yourself stuck in long restroom lines, missing key moments of the concert. Pace your intake wisely.
10) Say No to Excessive Accessories
Big earrings, heavy necklaces, or bulky bracelets might look good in photos, but they can be a hassle during the concert. They can tangle, snag on clothes, or even get lost in the crowd. Stick to minimal accessories for comfort and safety.
And last of all, don’t forget to have fun while you attend the concert.
