In Canada: Coldplay Performs Majestic Set in Toronto as Chris Martin Playfully Digs at ‘Bizarre’ Rogers Stadium

Coldplay's Toronto night 2 concert is reviewed, including Chris Martin's comments about Rogers Stadium and his acknowledging of a fan's Israeli flag.

At one point, Martin told the crowd the previous shows on the tour were just “202 rehearsals for you.” On its first night at Rogers Stadium, the band delayed its set time to fix a lighting tower, but everything was running smoothly by Tuesday. The social media platform is planning to withdraw as a sponsor of several Canadian arts institutions, including the Toronto International Film Festival and Juno Awards, as it prepares to comply with a federal order to shut down operations nationwide. “It breaks my heart that we’re being forced to cancel [these programs],” De Eyre told The Canadian Press, adding that due to the order being enforced, the company cannot commit to renewing its partnerships in the country.
