Watch Aitch join Coldplay on stage at Manchester Etihad gig
Coldplay were joined onstage by Aitch at their show at Manchester’s Etihad Stadium last night (June 1) — check out footage and the full setlist below.The show marked the second of a four-night residency at the stadium, and saw the band surprise fans with a guest appearance from Brit Award-winning musician and Manchester rap royalty, Aitch.The musician — whose real name is Harrison James Armstrong — joined Chris Martin and co. in his hometown towards the end of the band’s 23-song setlist, and performed two of his hit tracks shortly before the encore.Joining the band after their performance of 2014 classic track ‘A Sky Full Of Stars’, the 23-year-old took to the stage at the stadium to play ‘1989’ and ‘Buss Down’ — taken from 2022’s ‘Close To Home’ and 2019’s EP ‘AitcH2O’.Here, Martin duetted on both tracks, with ‘1989’ particularly resonating with the crowd as it sees Aitch rapping over a sample of ‘Fools Gold’, written by Manchester’s own Stone Roses.
