As the buzz surrounding Coldplay’s electrifying concerts in Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium continues, a delightful mid-air surprise has captured the hearts of fans. On January 26, 2025, Captain Pradeep Krishnan of IndiGo transformed a routine 7AM Pune-Ahmedabad flight into an unforgettable Coldplay-inspired event, leaving passengers awestruck.
Sharing the skies with Coldplay enthusiasts traveling to Ahmedabad, Captain Krishnan decided to set the mood for the highly anticipated concert. Addressing the passengers over the intercom, he playfully asked, “How many of you here are going to the Coldplay concert? How many of you have two extra tickets?” When one passenger raised their hand, the captain quipped, “You actually do? Hello sir, nice to meet you. We’re going to be very good friends today.”
Passengers erupted in laughter and cheers, but the excitement didn’t stop there. As the cabin lights dimmed, travelers switched on their phone flashlights, creating a breathtaking recreation of Coldplay’s iconic “A Sky Full of Stars” moment. The spontaneous gesture transformed the aircraft into a mini concert, uniting passengers in a shared celebration of music and joy.
Captain Krishnan later shared the viral video on Instagram with the caption: “What an incredible group of passengers from Pune to Ahmedabad! So much energy at 7 a.m. – wow!” The video has since garnered over 6.5 million views, with social media users lauding the captain for his creativity and warm-hearted gesture. Comments poured in, with one user writing, “Everybody must appreciate this side of IndiGo too,” and another adding, “A Plane Full Of Stars!”
Coldplay’s Music of the Spheres tour has been a spectacle of music and unity. Beginning with concerts at Navi Mumbai’s DY Patil Stadium on January 18, 19, and 21, the tour concluded with two magical performances in Ahmedabad on January 25 and 26. The concerts featured dazzling visuals, vibrant lights, and Coldplay’s timeless music, leaving fans euphoric and deeply moved. Even for those unable to attend, the final show was streamed live on Disney+ Hotstar, allowing millions to experience the magic from home.
Interestingly, the Ahmedabad concerts weren’t the only highlight. Videos of Coldplay’s lead singer Chris Martin speaking Gujarati and dedicating a song to cricketer Jasprit Bumrah went viral, adding a cultural touch to the performances. Fans traveled from across India and abroad to witness the band’s largest-ever concerts in the country, supported by tight security and even special trains arranged by Indian Railways.
The mid-air concert orchestrated by Captain Krishnan mirrored the spirit of Coldplay’s shows, showcasing how music transcends boundaries to create unforgettable experiences. As passengers on the flight joined together in a spontaneous tribute, it became evident that the joy of music knows no limits, even at 30,000 feet above the ground.
Coldplay’s India tour has not only redefined the concert experience but also demonstrated how cultural events can inspire and connect communities. Following their India performances, the band is set to continue their Music of the Spheres tour across Hong Kong, South Korea, the USA, Canada, and a grand finale at London’s Wembley Stadium on September 8, 2025.
IndiGo’s innovative celebration adds a heartwarming chapter to the legacy of Coldplay’s tour. Whether in a stadium or aboard a flight, the unifying power of music shines brightly, proving that the sky is truly full of stars.
