Today one of the biggest bands in the world Coldplay took to my former university campus at UEA, more specifically to my former place of work at the Blue Bar in the Student Union to perform a very special Live Lounge as a part of Radio 1’s Student Tour.

Coldplay were yet another act who decided to take on Rihanna‘s new single We Found Love, although they had more of a genuine reason to considering she appears on their new album Mylo Xyloto. They also gave live performances of their new single Paradise and a new album cut Hurts Like Heaven.

By the way listen out for our bar alarm putting off Chris Martin during We Found Love, I found it hilarious!
