Coldplay’s last arena tour redefined live concerts with glowing wristbands, a kinetic dance floor, and the entire crowd was swept up in a powerful sense of unity through music. Whether you were lucky enough to be part of that historic crowd or missed out, there’s a new chance to experience the magic of Coldplay’s music live, right here in Chicago.
This Candlelight tribute invites you to “go back to the start”. How? By focusing on the music itself — a uniquely curated setlist is performed by a string quartet and illuminated by thousands of candles. By stripping away the stadium spectacle, this experience brings you closer to the heart of the music.
More than 300 attendees have already shared glowing reviews, calling it “an incredible evening”. If you’d love to experience it, you have a date at the Arts Center of Oak Park—a venue celebrated for its historic charm and exceptional acoustics.
Why Coldplay’s Music Shines with a String Quartet
What Coldplay’s music captures is both triumph and raw feelings, it’s about emotions building to crescendos. This, translated upon strings just makes sense. There’s something about the intimacy of strings—the way a violin can soar or a cello can ache—that feels tailor-made for the emotional highs and lows Coldplay is known for. In this setting, every crescendo feels more personal, every lyric more poignant.
