Sky Full of Stars: A Tribute to Coldplay

Sky Full of Stars bring their Coldplay tribute to The Fire Station on Saturday 12 December, starting at 7:30pm. They describe themselves as the most authentic tribute to the band, and they build the show around the same live tropes Coldplay uses on their own tours: LED wristbands that light up the crowd, a focus on the visuals, and the idea of making the audience part of the performance. If you've seen the real thing, it'll feel familiar; if you haven't, it's a good way to get a sense of how they do it.

The set runs through the band's best-known songs, from the early days to the more recent stadium stuff. You'll hear 'Yellow' and 'Clocks' alongside 'Viva La Vida', 'A Sky Full of Stars', 'Paradise' and 'Hymn for the Weekend'. It's a broad sweep of their catalogue, so it works whether you're into the early guitar-led records or the later, bigger productions.

One thing to keep in mind is the age limit: under-14s have to be accompanied by an adult. Tickets are £26, and the show kicks off at 7:30pm on Saturday 12 December at The Fire Station on High Street West, Sunderland SR1 3HA.
