Watch Coldplay’s firework-fuelled ‘Higher Power’ performance for Independence Day
Coldplay have marked Independence Day in the US by delivering a firework-fuelled performance of ‘Higher Power’ for Macy’s Fourth of July Spectacular.While 500 vaccinated fans were originally set to attend the Queens recording, a crowd of roughly 8000 New Yorkers eventually turned out to transform the event into a stunning celebration which boasted the band’s biggest live audience since the coronavirus pandemic began.More than 1,000 fireworks were also set off on a barge on the East River behind the band as they performed ‘Higher Power’ and ‘Viva La Vida’.Between recordings, fans were also treated to an impromptu off-camera set of songs such as ‘Yellow’, ‘Clocks’ and ‘A Sky Full Of Stars’.One of those moments that we’ll always remember.
