Coldplay Concerts Were Built For Viral Moments Like This
Astronomer CEO Andy Byron should have known better than to go to a Coldplay concert. That's because the band, currently on its 'Music of the Spheres' world tour, has been turning the camera on its fans for over a year, giving lead singer Chris Martin the opportunity to ad-lib goofy mini-songs about concertgoers.

Viral moment: Coldplay's Chris Martin calls out awkward embrace at Gillette show
Coldplay's Music of the Spheres world tour was held at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Mass., on Wednesday, July 16, and a camera scanning the crowd caught an awkward moment that has now since gone viral. The camera scanned the crowd to capture excited concertgoers enjoying the show. The band's lead singer Chris Martin provided commentary as the camera focused on two people embracing, but it quickly went from a cute moment to uncomfortable. After the two realized they were on camera, as seen in a viral social media video, the woman turned around and hid her face and the man ducked down to completely get out of the shot. Martin then said, 'Come on, you're OK!' before adding 'Uh oh. Either they're having an affair or they're just very shy,' as the two reacted. The viral moment has sparked a lot of conversation about who the couple is and why they didn't want to be seen. Although Coldplay has wrapped up their shows in New England, fans can still purchase tickets to their tour using Ticketmaster and reliable third-party ticket sellers like StubHub, VividSeats and SeatGeek.

‘Do your makeup now!' Chris Martin jokes about Coldplay's ‘kiss cam' chaos after viral ‘affair' clip
MADISON, July 20 — Chris Martin is leaning into the kiss cam chaos that made headlines this week — cracking jokes about it during Coldplay's latest 'Music of the Spheres' tour stop in Madison, Wisconsin. 'We'd like to say hello to some of you in the crowd and put some of you on the big screen,' the 48-year-old frontman told fans at Camp Randall Stadium yesterday, according to fan-shot footage. 'How we're going to do that is we're going to use our cameras and put some of you on the big screen.' With a laugh, he added: 'Please, if you haven't done your makeup, do your makeup now!' Martin's playful jab came just days after a Coldplay show in Foxborough, Massachusetts, where the band's kiss cam unexpectedly sparked an online storm. On July 16, Andy Byron — then-CEO of data company Astronomer — was caught on the jumbotron with his arms around Kristin Cabot, the company's Chief People Officer. The awkward part? Byron is married to someone else. Reacting in real time, Martin quipped on stage: 'Whoa, look at these two. Alright, come on. You're OK! Either they're having an affair or they're just very shy. I'm not quite sure what to do.' He followed up with: 'Holy s***. I hope we didn't do something bad.' Despite the couple ducking for cover after spotting themselves on the big screen, the moment was captured by a fan and quickly went viral on TikTok. Astronomer launched a 'formal investigation' into the matter on Thursday, initially placing Byron on temporary leave before announcing his resignation yesterday — the same day Coldplay performed in Wisconsin. 'Astronomer is committed to the values and culture that have guided us since our founding. Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability, and recently, that standard was not met,' a spokesman for the company told Us Weekly. 'Andy Byron has tendered his resignation, and the Board of Directors has accepted.' As the company begins searching for a new CEO, Coldplay's kiss cam lives on — this time with a warning from Martin himself.

Coldplay concert at Camp Randall Stadium in Madison tonight after Kiss Cam scandal that leads to Astronomer CEO resigning
When Coldplay wraps up its incredible Music of the Spheres World Tour that has spanned the globe and stretched across several years it will have performed 225 concerts. But one concert on July 16, 2025, might go down as the most talked about — at least on the internet. And not for any of the band's songs but for some Kiss Cam drama in the audience. Now, three days after a viral moment in the crowd that has entered every pop culture and workplace conversation, the British rock band comes to Madison, Wisconsin. It's Coldplay's first concert since the incident that everyone can't stop talking about or making memes about. Here's everything you need to know about Coldplay's Madison concert and the latest on the Kiss Cam drama. Video of Coldplay Kiss Cam You've likely seen or heard about the incident that is all over the internet. During a break in Coldplay's concert on July 16 at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, a Kiss Cam display was on a big screen. It looked innocent enough until the two captured on-camera realized they were being seen by the thousands in attendance and soon by the entire internet. The man had his arms around the woman in front of him, as they swayed back and forth before their expressions switched to pure shock and almost shame. They quickly tried to hide. As this was going on, Martin had said "Come on, you're OK!" before realizing something was off and saying "Uh oh. Either they're having an affair or they're just very shy." Coldplay's Chris Martin: reacts as couple on concert screen sparks awkward moment Coldplay Kiss Cam video: Astronomer CEO Andy Byron resigns The internet was quick to try to find out the identities of this couple in this embrace. The Journal Sentinel and USA Today haven't independently identified the couple but the New York Times reported that they were Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and the company's chief people officer. USA TODAY has reached out to Astronomer for comment. Three days later, Byron has resigned from the New York City-based software company that focuses on website analytics and AI. The company, without directly referencing the incident, issued two statements on July 18 first noting the company's board of directors was launching an investigation. "Astronomer is committed to the values and culture that have guided us since our founding," a statement on social media read. "Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability. The Board of Directors has initiated a formal investigation into this matter and will have additional details to share very shortly." Not long after, the company put out another statement saying Byron was being put on leave. It didn't give a reason for making that decision. It added that co-founder and Chief Product Officer Pete DeJoy will serve as the company's interim CEO. Then on July 19, the company announced that Byron had resigned. Where was the Coldplay concert cheating? The viral kiss cam incident that has taken over the internet occurred at Coldplay's concert at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, home of the New England Patriots. Phillies mascot Coldplay The moment has taken on a life of its own. The Philadelphia Phillies mascot had some fun with the Coldplay kiss cam scandal during the team's game July 18 at Citizens Bank Park. With Coldplay's "A Sky Full of Stars" serving as the soundtrack for the Kiss Cam, the Phillie Phanatic knew the assignment. After a few regular kisses from fans in the stands, the scoreboard came to the mascot. And the Phillie Phanatic recreated the scene from the concert with his arms around a female Phanatic and had the same shocked look before trying to hide. Coldplay Kiss Cam memes The memes have been fast and furious. Here are some of them: Coldplay Camp Randall Stadium After the kiss cam scandal, Coldplay takes its world tour to Camp Randall Stadium on the campus of the University of Wisconsin-Madison on July 19. The 80,000-seat stadium is the longtime home of the Wisconsin Badgers football team. This summer marks the return of concerts at Camp Randall Stadium for the first time in nearly 30 years. Morgan Wallen's two concerts in June were the first at the Madison stadium since 1997. And now Coldplay is bringing its Music of the Spheres World Tour to Camp Randall for what should be an exhilarating evening. Be ready: What's the weather going to be like for the Coldplay concert at Camp Randall Stadium? Coldplay Camp Randall opener Ayra Starr, a 23-year-old Nigerian singer and songwriter, and Elyanna, a 23-year-old Palestinian and Chilean singer-songwriter, are the opening acts. And expect to see more of Elyanna than just the opening. She has played songs alongside the band at previous concerts and was with them during its appearance on "Saturday Night Live" last year. Elyanna has been an opener at every Coldplay concert in 2025. Starr has also been part of Coldplay's opening act since the four concerts at Rogers Stadium in Toronto July 7-8 and July 11-12. Starr and Elyanna both performed at the Foxborough concert at Gillette Stadium earlier this week July 15-16. Coldplay schedule After playing in Madison, the band known for hits like "Paradise," "Viva la Vida" and "Clocks" will head to Nashville for a concert July 22 at Nissan Stadium. Coldplay then heads to Miami Gardens for two concerts July 26-27 at Hard Rock Stadium. They then head home to England for several shows in August and September, including 10 at Wembley Stadium in London, where the eight-leg tour that began in 2022 comes to a close.
