Coldplace Reflects on a Successful 2025 as Grimsby’s Coldplay Tribute Band

Coldplace, the tribute band from Grimsby, has celebrated significant success in 2025, mirroring the global triumph of Coldplay. Founded in the early 2000s by Shane Crofts, Coldplace aims to recreate Coldplay’s iconic sound. The band has made impressive strides, performing in around 40 countries worldwide.

Coldplace’s Journey and Achievements

Shane Crofts formed Coldplace after being inspired by Coldplay’s debut album, *Parachutes*. The band includes Shane on vocals, Asa Crofts on bass, Dean Stewart on lead guitar, and Wayne Birch on drums.

• Coldplace has performed in approximately 40 countries.
• Notable gigs include a concert for 10,000 fans in India.
• The band also played shows in the UK and Netherlands, with performances extending to Latvia and Spain.

Memorable Experiences and Insights

This past year was particularly unforgettable for Coldplace. They managed to secure a performance in San Francisco after a fan’s unsuccessful attempt to book Coldplay. Their popularity continues to grow, with upcoming 2026 plans for 150 shows, including performances in Hull and Grimsby.

During their packed schedule, some band members took a break to see Coldplay perform live. Shane was personally invited by Coldplay’s bassist, Guy Berryman, to attend a concert in Hull. The experience was made even more special as he reunited with Chris Martin at an after-party.

Connecting with Fans and Future Plans

Coldplace’s connection to fans is heartfelt. Shane humorously explains how his children sometimes mistake Coldplay songs for their father’s performances. The band also made an impact in 2020 when they appeared in Coldplay’s music video for *Cry Cry Cry*, showcasing their commitment to the music community by donating earnings to charity.

• Upcoming events include:
• 150 shows planned for 2026.
• A performance in Grimsby scheduled for November.
• Additional bookings anticipated into 2027 and 2028.

The future looks promising for Coldplace as they strive to provide a genuine Coldplay concert experience on a smaller scale. Their dedication to the music and their fans ensures they remain a beloved tribute band, filling the void until Coldplay returns.
