Coldplay base their tour on ‘Mary Poppins’

The British rockers – who played an exclusive show at London’s Brixton
Academy – have been inspired by the hit Disney film about a magical nanny.
Frontman Chris Martin said: “We grew up with ‘Mary Poppins’ and all those
sorts of things. We love making big shows up and trying to work out what
lights will look cool. We get very nerdy about it because we can’t believe
we’re allowed to do it.”
However, Chris admits the band’s shows don’t quite rival those of rivals
Muse, whose incredible pyrotechnics and stage sets have won them several
best live act awards.
He added to Britain’s The Sun newspaper: “We’ll never get as extreme as
Muse. We’ll let them do the biggest thing and think, ‘OK, how did they did
it?’ We have always been a step behind Muse. They’re so great live.”
