As excitement builds for Coldplay’s upcoming Mumbai concerts in January 2025, fans are reminiscing about the unforgettable night in 2015 when frontman Chris Martin gave a surprise performance at Summer House Cafe in Delhi.
The impromptu gig, featuring Indian musicians Vishal Dadlani and Raghu Dixit, took everyone by surprise, including Dadlani himself. Recalling the magical evening, Vishal shared, “We all were having dinner… after which Chris just said, ‘Let’s go play somewhere.’ So we did.”
