‘Remember the earlier stuff’: Chris Martin outlines Coldplay’s plans once they stop making albums

Chris Martin says Coldplay will “remember the earlier stuff” once they stop making albums.

The 47-year-old singer has confirmed that the ‘Clocks’ band will only make two more albums after their latest record ‘Moon Music’ is released on Friday (04.10.24) and they intend to revisit some of their older work in the coming years – in a similar way to how Liam Gallagher has celebrated the 30th anniversary of Oasis’ debut album ‘Definitely Maybe’ this year.

Speaking to NME, Chris said: “What Liam has just done with ‘Definitely Maybe’ has reignited that album.

“We will get to a point where it will be fun and to not re-release but remember the earlier stuff and enjoy it again and do things specific to those periods.

“I have an idea for another type of show that’s more of a hotch-potch of everything. Maybe it’s not always about trying to be in stadiums, but you can do small things where you try and play the odd songs.”

Chris confessed that he is looking forward to winding down once the ‘Higher Power’ group complete their final two albums.

The frontman said: “It’s like when someone becomes a football pundit and stops trying to score goals.

“I feel that within a few years, it might go a little bit more that way for myself. Not right now. Right now I’m super hungry and so excited to go to work every day. It’s such a clear picture of what we’re supposed to be doing.”

Coldplay are donating 10 per cent of the profits from the UK stadium shows next summer – which include a record 10 nights at Wembley Stadium – to the Music Venue Trust and Chris fears that the closure of smaller venues will prevent acts from honing their talent.

He said: “It doesn’t bother me that there might not be another Coldplay, but it does bother me that there might not be acts that are free to start on the bottom rung and work all the way up – so by the time they get to stadiums, they are really good. You can’t just jump into that.”

Martin added: “With all of the artists that are playing stadiums next year, it’s no coincidence that all of them started in a van, driving around and playing pubs: Oasis, Coldplay, Ed Sheeran, the truth is all there. Taylor Swift has probably played more than anyone in tiny Nashville venues and county fairs.”
