The District Child Protection Unit in Gujarat has issued a notice to British rock band Coldplay, ahead of their concert at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on January 25 and 26, 2025. The band, including lead singer Chris Martin, has been instructed not to involve children on stage during the performance.
Organisers have been directed to ensure no child enters the venue without earplugs. The Unit emphasised that sound levels exceeding 120 decibels could harm children's health, and failure to comply could result in strict action. The notice comes after a complaint filed by a resident of Chandigarh.
Apart from performing in Gujarat, Coldplay will also be performing in Mumbai.
Previously, Coldplay announced shows in Mumbai on January 18, 19 and 21, 2025. The band, consisting of lead vocalist Chris Martin, guitarist Jonny Buckland, bassist Guy Berryman, and drummer Will Champion, last graced the Indian stage in 2016 as part of the Global Citizen Festival, also held in Mumbai.
This will mark the band's return to India after a hiatus of nine years.
