A Candlelight concert featuring a string quartet performing songs from Coldplay and Imagine Dragons under the glow of LED candles.
Mallarme Music is bringing a tribute to Coldplay and Imagine Dragons to The Rialto on Friday, November 13, 2026. It's part of the Candlelight series, so the whole room is lit by thousands of LED candles while a string quartet plays through songs from both bands. It's a tribute, not a show by the artists themselves, and it's not affiliated with them or their representatives.
The Rialto is a 426-capacity room in Raleigh's Five Points neighborhood. It opened in 1942 after a previous life as an A&P grocery store built in 1936, and since then it's become a local landmark known for its Art Deco design, independent films, and live music. The concert runs for 60 minutes, with doors opening 45 minutes before and closing 5 minutes prior. The show starts at 5:30 PM.
