Coldplay star Chris Martin returns to home town for ’special’ gig
3rd December, 2009
Coldplay star Chris Martin is to bring his hit band back to his home town of Exeter for the first time in almost 10 years.
The British band will be playing a charity gig for 500 fans at Exeter Castle on December 19 to raise money for Mencap.
Martin, 32, said that it will be a “really, really special night” and he added: “We’re proud to support Mencap and, for me, it’s exciting to play my home town. We haven’t played there since 2000.
“I don’t think there could be a better way to end the decade.”
Tickets for the Big Noise Session go on sale on the Little Noise Sessions website from December 8 and cost £50.
The concert will be hosted by Radio One DJ, Jo Whiley, who is also a Mencap ambassador.
