The altercation escalated as one of the men bit the other’s hand, only for the situation to spiral further when the bitten individual slapped his aggressor.

The brawl, humorously captioned as “Kalesh during Coldplay concert (Viva la Vida turns into Viva la Kalesh),” provided an unexpected distraction from the band’s performance. Coldplay, led by frontman Chris Martin, was in Ahmedabad for two consecutive concerts on January 25 and 26, following their earlier performance in Mumbai.
During the concert, Martin charmed the audience by speaking in Hindi, Marathi, and Gujarati. He also paid tribute to iconic figures such as actor Shah Rukh Khan and cricketer Jasprit Bumrah, who were present at the event. The band marked Republic Day with soulful renditions of patriotic songs “Vande Mataram” and “Maa Tujhe Salaam,” which resonated deeply with the crowd.
Coldplay’s Ahmedabad concerts attracted a star-studded audience, including Bollywood celebrities like Kartik Aaryan, Suhana Khan, Vijay Varma, and cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar. The British rock band, consisting of Chris Martin, guitarist Jonny Buckland, bassist Guy Berryman, drummer Will Champion, and manager Phil Harvey, previously performed in India during the 2016 Global Citizen Festival in Mumbai.
