Para-para-paradise!

Finally...they came...they played..they conquered. Lights guided 50,000 Coldplay fans in their various forms of transport (be it park and ride, park and train or just park) to Soccer City and back home again after an emotional few hours out in Soweto.

Chris Martin, lead singer of the band, getting excited!

If ever you thought you'd seen a mindblowing act - I hope you were there on Saturday night 8 October to lift your live music standards. Chris Martin's interactive persona and the entire bands ability to hold a crowd whether with a hard rocking 'Para-para-paradiiiise' or the hauntingly beautiful 'Fix You' - are incredible.

Giant balloons bounced around on the heads of fans in field standing, while lasers and smoke created an effect overhead that kept even the furthest flung seats in the act! Fireworks lit up the sky,  reminding those of you who never made it...what you missed!

I'm still buzzing from the excitement that this amazing act managed to create inside of me - leaving you with butterflies, a glowing smile on the face of many, and longing for more. Indeed...the hardest part was letting go!

With already nearly 9 million listens on Youtube, Paradise is forging the way for the new album Mylo Xyloto, which is releasing on the 24th October 2011. Have a listen below and let us know how it made you feel!
