What’s on February 2022
Coldplace
19 February, Corn Hall, Diss
Coldplace, the world’s leading tribute to Coldplay, on their biggest UK tour to date. Formed in 2004 by Coldplay fans, for Coldplay fans, Coldplace are a tribute band whose quality and experience on the tribute scene are second to none and have performed over 850 shows to date across the world in 30 countries.
“We’ve been busy studying the brand new Coldplay sets and have also had a chat with Phil Harvey from Coldplay about their new style and the brand new tracks,” explained Shane Crofts, frontman of Coldplace. “He’s really looking forwards to seeing our interpretation of Coloratura, as it’s such a long song.” If you thought their last production of A Head Full of Dreams was colourful, then their new show is shaping up to be even more visual and explosive. “We don’t want to give too much away, but we can say that there will be even more lasers on stage and lots of flashing lights on our instruments,” continued Shane. “We will be using the Xylobands that Coldplay use, as they really do give the edge to the show, and they will look even more amazing alongside all the extra lights we’re using too.”
Their adventures have lead them to appear on Sky News, BBC Radio One and Two and the band have even appeared in a Coldplay music video, at Coldplay’s request. If you haven’t been lucky enough to secure tickets to a Coldplay show, then come along to the next best thing

Wilko Johnson

The original Dr Feelgood guitarist, Game of Thrones actor and all round national treasure has enjoyed a rousing return to the live arena, including a number one album with Roger Daltrey Going Back Home, a sold out show at The Royal Albert Hall to mark his 70th birthday and the release of Blow Your Mind, his first album of new material in decades.
Wilko is famed for his blistering chop-chord strumming action, the ‘stab’, as he describes it; with this electrifying sound, his trademark black-suited, scowling look and his characteristic strut, Wilko became one of the guitar heroes of the 1970s and beyond, not to mention one of rock ’n’ roll’s most extraordinary characters.
