We are only one song in to Coldplay’s epic live return to Manchester - and it’s already a riot of colour, confetti, and bodies bouncing up and down across the Etihad Stadium.
Fresh from raucous opener Higher Power, the band releases their now signature giant bouncing balls into the crowds, while the wristbands everyone was handed on the way in are flashing in a multicolour symphony for Adventure of a Lifetime.
It’s an extraordinarily joyous scene under clear blue skies in Manchester on Wednesday night.
