Deaf Coldplay fan's incredible experience with Glasgow gig's wearable tech to 'feel' music

A TikTok star who advocates for a more accessible world for those who are deaf or hard of hearing, has praised the staff at Glasgow's Hampden Park as she attended the Coldplay concert on Tuesday.

Emma, who is @emmasontiktok on the platform, has garnered a following of 18,000 people on TikTok through her videos discussing British Sign Language and her journey with deaf mum and dad. Emma's content ranges from Q&As discussing what it's like using sign language on the daily, to teaching the public simple phrases to communicate with those who are hearing-impaired.

This time, Emma posted a wholesome vlog-style video of the whole family travelling up to Glasgow to watch Coldplay perform live at Hampden Park. In the video, Emma's mum is given a subpac vest which brings the music from the stage and creates vibrations that can be felt throughout the video.
