‘Sky full of stars’, a Coldplay concert on an IndiGo flight turned by Pilot, wowed passengers in Ahmedabad

IndiGo passengers on a flight to Ahmedabad experienced an unexpected burst of excitement when the pilot helped recreate a moment inspired by Coldplay’s iconic “A Sky Full of Stars.” The occasion was part of the fervor surrounding Coldplay’s much-awaited concerts in India, where the band delivered unforgettable performances in Ahmedabad. Thousands of fans traveled from all over the country to witness the British band’s incredible shows at the Narendra Modi Stadium, a highlight of their Music of the Spheres World Tour. These concerts, hailed as some of the most visually and musically stunning events ever hosted in India, left fans spellbound as they danced and sang beneath a dazzling spectacle of lights and confetti.
However, the magic wasn’t confined to the stadium. A video that has since gone viral captures IndiGo Captain Pradeep Krishnan adding to the concert buzz mid-flight. With a playful sense of humor, the captain addressed passengers traveling from Pune to Ahmedabad, asking, “How many of you are heading to the Coldplay concert? And does anyone have two extra tickets?” The casual remark drew cheers and laughter, setting a lively tone for the flight. What followed was a spontaneous recreation of Coldplay’s signature “A Sky Full of Stars” moment, as passengers turned on their phone flashlights, transforming the dimly lit cabin into a vibrant pre-concert celebration in the air. The atmosphere was brimming with joy, setting the mood for the unforgettable event awaiting them in Ahmedabad.
Over two spectacular nights, Coldplay mesmerized audiences at the Narendra Modi Stadium, wrapping up their India tour in grand style. After earlier performances in Mumbai, the band, led by frontman Chris Martin and joined by Jonny Buckland, Guy Berryman, Will Champion, and manager Phil Harvey, created an electrifying atmosphere that left fans enchanted. From the dynamic energy to the breathtaking visuals, every moment of the concert was a celebration of music and connection, with the audience wholeheartedly embracing the magic.
Given the scale of the event, security was of utmost importance. The Gujarat Police ensured the safety of concertgoers with an extensive security setup, including over 3,800 officers, 400 CCTV cameras, and undercover personnel at the venue. Senior police officials confirmed that measures such as metal detectors and continuous surveillance were in place to ensure a smooth and secure experience for all attendees. This meticulous planning contributed to making the Coldplay concerts in Ahmedabad not only a remarkable spectacle but also a safe and memorable experience for fans.
