We’re sure everyone’s getting increasingly hyped for the Coldplay concerts happening next week – after all, the British alt-rock band is the first major international music act to grace the stage at our new Kai Tak Stadium. Get even more amped up by decking yourself out in merch before heading to the concert, as the Airside mall is hosting a pop-up with exclusive items and immersive experiences.
Running from April 6 to 27, the Moon Music pop-up will carry Coldplay’s CDs and vinyl records, as well as tour t-shirts, hoodies, headwear, jewellery, bags, tour programmes, concert posters, and more. We’re not kidding when we say you can probably rock up to the concert in head-to-toe band merch. Their rainbow-hued, space-themed poster showing ancient ruins – or the version with Hong Kong landmarks – is particularly cool, and so is their light blue water bottle with the Music of the Spheres tagline ‘Everyone is an alien somewhere’. All proceeds from the Hong Kong-exclusive t-shirt will be donated to the ChickenSoup Foundation.
Apart from merchandise, there will also be a ‘message wall’ where fans can leave messages of support (for the band or anyone else), as well as a ‘Coldplay cover wall’ displaying a backdrop themed after the band’s album covers. Stick around to see Coldplay’s short film A Film For The Future, which features 150 global artists about the intersection of music and the future.
