Coldplay just posted maybe the most simple and explosive tweet ever for the band now that they are almost worldwide for all their fans. The tweet states “See you tomorrow #ColdplayHongKong.” It’s without the rumor of anything else implied, though it tagged along what seemed to be some rehearsal footage, and hey, people really went completely bonkers over it.

The total absence of specifics in the tweet itself is pure old-school Coldplay, yet it hasn’t prevented it from generating thousands of replies within mere minutes. Some freak out over Hong Kong and plead for tour dates in their own countries, while others just scream into the void about how much they miss the band. Typical.
Maybe the most notable reply that might have caught the attention of Coldplay fans, however, was from Mel Bi, who reminded everyone about the recent track from Coldplay that features Stromae and Pomme, “Ma Mailleire Ennemie.” A smart reminder dropping that because there is no denying the fact that people are obviously starving for some music these days. Meanwhile, Mostafa Eslami will shoot his shot with “Come to Iran bro someday”- respect the hustle.
It’s quite the emotional whiplash evoked by these replies. You have DocJara hitting with the bittersweet “So good to have you back – even if it’s far away from most of us!” and right after that, you have Snædís hollering: “i love u so much”. The same energy as JESSiCA🍣, who says: “life feels so alive again” now that Coldplay has made a comeback. Drama? Perhaps. Relatable? Without a doubt.
And naturally, the begging-for-location reply section started. Brazil is the one laying it very thick, like multiple souls on naomi: “MISS YOUUUUU please brazil dates soon 👁” or bela ᪥ straight-up asking: “Brazil when? 😭.” Coldplay Indonesia keeping it short and sweet, just “Welcome back guys!” should they be Jakarta dates, of course.
Some of the random but pretty interesting opinions Tyler McVicker brings up include this thought: “god could you imagine hanging around when they rehearse.” Actually, Tyler I couldn’t people imagine that now I’m really envious of all in that rehearsal space in Hong Kong. Thanks for that.
The saddest reply, however, comes from ro 🌙 : “This was played at the funeral of a 22-year-old girl named Sara, who got killed a few weeks back.” Please spare a thought for her and her family is added alongside a photo. A reminder posed in all soberness of how deeply music is related to our lifetimes.
What is amazing about this tweet that’s cryptic is the ripple effect that it necessarily caused worldwide. People are then seen writing paragraphs of how Coldplay carried them through difficult times, throwing in birthday ties (thanks to Andrea D. Gessle celebrating his birthday on April 5), and some dedicated casual keyboard bashing with excitement.

Conclusion: Coldplay fans would make an emotional support vegetable out of a potato that the band tweets. This energy will only be multiplied as the date for their Hong Kong show approaches and rumors continue flying about an upcoming tour. Hold on to your hats, everyone; when Coldplay says “see you tomorrow,” the whole world goes crazy on the net.
