Coldplay reveal cost of Xylobands

Coldplay have revealed the approximate cost per show of providing light-up 'Xylobands' to their fans.

The illuminated wristbands contain LEDs and are controlled by a wireless signal during Coldplay's stadium shows. They're also shown in the video to the band's recent single 'Charlie Brown'.

Guitarist Jonny Buckland said: "Every night, I think it's about £400,000! It looks amazing, it just makes everyone have a great time - most of all us - and it just feels so magical!

"Even if you don't like our music now, I would say come to the show just to see that – wear earplugs, bring a book and when the lights come on, have a look!"
