» Hot on the heels of their historic six-day run at Singapore's National Stadium, British rock band Coldplay returned to Bangkok's Rajamangala National Stadium for two concerts over the weekend, marking their No. 131 and 132 shows in their ongoing sold-out, record-breaking and award-winning "Music Of The Spheres World Tour", which started in March 2022.
