Here’s your cheat sheet: 8:30 PM show start → 10:30-11:00 PM end. That’s the gospel according to Coldplay. If you want to be super safe, assume 10:45 PM. This gives you time to avoid the subway stampede, buy overpriced merch that will smell like regret by morning, and process the fact that you just sang “The Scientist” at the top of your lungs next to a stranger named Brenda.
So, plan your post-concert life accordingly. And remember: the real ending isn’t when the lights come up. It’s when you’re in your car, realizing you have “Viva la Vida” stuck in your head for the next 72 hours. You’re welcome.
