Coldplay have made a habit of dropping the odd cover on their tightly scripted record-breaking Music of the Spheres world tour. But during Sunday night's show at Accor Stadium in Sydney, Australia – the final gig in a four-night stand at the 83,500-capacity venue – they got an unexpected take on a Travis Scott song that praised “Sicko Mode” MC. in the group.
“'Goosebumps,' that's my favorite Travis Scott song,” Coldplay frontman Chris Martin appears to say in a clip as he breaks into the song with Kendrick Lamar that appeared on Scott's second studio album , in 2016. The birds in the trap sing McKnight.
“I hear those every time,” growled Martin as he ran across the stage with an acoustic guitar behind his back as guitarist Jonny Buckland tore through a rock solo. The unlikely cover caught the headliner's attention, with the rapper praising his track's take, writing to X, “He got that,” along with a goat emoji.
“Goosebumps” gained notoriety in 2017 when Scott set a Guinness World Record when he performed the track 15 times in a row at a show in Cleveland. the marathon beat the previous record he had set by playing the song 14 consecutive times a week earlier. Scott has called out Coldplay several times in lyrics, including on 2016's “Way Back” (“Flew with that sound n–ga, got that Coldplay”) and then again on 2023's “Til Further Notice” (“I been bumpin ' more Coldplay, the world is cold as s–t.”) Plus, fans have taken to mutual attraction, with one remixer making inventive compositions like “A sky full of goose“and”Viva La Goosebumps.”
The Music of the Spheres tour will kick off a three-night stand in Auckland, New Zealand's Eden Park Stadium on Wednesday (November 13) before taking a month off and returning to the road on January 9 with a four-date stand at Zayed Sports City Stadium in Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates.
