Coldplay were joined on stage by local hero Bruce Springsteen at their New Jersey show over the weekend – see footage below.
The band were playing the MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey on Sunday night (June 5) as part of their ongoing ‘Music Of The Spheres’ world tour.
During the previous night’s (June 4) show, Kylie Minogue joined the band for an acoustic version of her 2001 hit ‘Can’t Get You Out Of My Head’ which they’d performed together previously at Glastonbury 2019 when she played the Legends’ Slot.
On Sunday, they were then joined by New Jersey’s most favourite son, with Springsteen playing two tracks with the band.
Before playing 2009 track ‘Working On A Dream’, Springsteen told the crowd: “Chris [Martin] said he had this song tattooed on his arm for a while, so I guess I’ve got to sing it with him.”
Watch them perform that track and a rendition of ‘Dancing In The Dark’ below.

Coldplay’s 2022 world stadium tour comes with an emphasis on environmental sustainability, and will head to the UK this summer.
Last week, the band announced the acts that will be supporting them on the UK and European run of the ‘Music For The Spheres’ tour. H.E.R. and London Grammar were previously announced as special guests on the tour, alternating dates across Europe and the UK, with Griff, Laura Mvula and more now also added to the bill at select dates.
Springsteen, meanwhile, will reunite with The E Street Band in 2023 for a world tour.
“After six years, I’m looking forward to seeing our great and loyal fans next year,” Springsteen said in a statement. “And I’m looking forward to once again sharing the stage with the legendary E Street Band. See you out there, next year – and beyond!”
The Boss, alongside Gary Tallent, Roy Bittan, Max Weinberg, Steven Van Zandt, Nils Lofgren and Patti Scialfa, will kick off the tour with North American arena dates in February. He’ll head to stadiums in Europe from late April and then back to the States in August. UK dates are yet to be announced.
