Prior to each night\u2019s performance, the band asks fans to film themselves requesting a song along with a reason why they want to see it live. The \u201cwinning\u201d entry then gets their video played on Coldplay\u2019s jumboscreens before the coveted live performance. Some deep cuts from across Coldplay\u2019s career have been selected as requested songs, with tracks such as \u201cA Rush of Blood to the Head\u201d, \u201cDon\u2019t Panic\u201d, and \u201cA Message\u201d all seeing the light of day again thanks to the segment. As Coldplay takes a short break before embarking on the European and US legs of their tour, we check out some songs that should also get request treatment:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Amsterdam<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cAmsterdam\u201d is a track that\u2019s stereotypically Coldplay: a slow burning piano ballad that builds up to an emotional final verse that features the whole band. Though it is relatively unknown when compared to <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A Rush of Blood to the Head <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">singles like \u201cClocks\u201d and \u201cThe Scientist\u201d, \u201cAmsterdam\u201d is a fan favorite amongst Coldplay die-hards and would make for a highly memorable moment if chosen as a request.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Spotify Embed: Amsterdam\" style=\"border-radius: 12px\" width=\"100%\" height=\"152\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/track\/2uQ4px5SPONsgcUpulywIQ?utm_source=oembed\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sparks<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Considering they have bought back tracks like \u201cShiver\u201d, \u201cDon\u2019t Panic\u201d, and \u201cParachutes\u201d throughout their Latin American run, it seems Coldplay lean towards cuts from their debut album <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Parachutes<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> when choosing each night\u2019s song request. \u201cSparks\u201d seems like it could be a likely request song at some point on <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">AHFOD <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">tour. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Parachutes<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> has been around long enough that most concert attendees would be familiar with any song off the album, while the simplicity of \u201cSparks\u201d\u2019 lyrics and instrumentals would allow Coldplay to easily relearn the song before it\u2019s time to perform.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Spotify Embed: Sparks\" style=\"border-radius: 12px\" width=\"100%\" height=\"152\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/track\/7D0RhFcb3CrfPuTJ0obrod?utm_source=oembed\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>Lovers in Japan<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A staple of the past two Coldplay tours, \u201cLovers in Japan\u201d has been left off the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">AHFOD <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">setlist, leaving \u201cViva la Vida\u201d as the only song remaining from 2008\u2019s <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. \u201cLovers\u201d may have rightfully run it\u2019s course for regular performance, but that doesn\u2019t mean the song can\u2019t be bought back as a request every now and then.

Though the setlist seemed pretty fake from the get-go, I wanted so badly to believe it was real since it included \u201cSwallowed in the Sea\u201d as part of Coldplay\u2019s regular set. \u201cSwallowed in the Sea\u201d has always ranked among my favorite Coldplay tracks, so it stung a bit when that setlist was proven to be fake after all. My only hope of seeing \u201cSwallowed in the Sea\u201d now is through the request segment, where it would most definitely be a great fit. A C-stage performance would be perfect for \u201cSwallowed in the Sea\u201d, as the song\u2019s relaxing, simple melody and stunning buildup would pair beautifully with the more chilled-out and informal vibe of the C-stage. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Spotify Embed: Swallowed in the Sea\" style=\"border-radius: 12px\" width=\"100%\" height=\"152\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/track\/2u2WL5N3KnQnykOZi3fxL6?utm_source=oembed\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>True Love<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Coldplay\u2019s tour for <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A Head Full of Dreams <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">is technically the first time the band will be touring material from 2014\u2019s <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ghost Stories<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> as well, since Coldplay chose to forgo an international tour in exchange for working on <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">AHFOD<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> instead.
