in concerts of Coldplay, Brazil continues to have a lower wristband return rate than other countries. In Curitiba, it was revealed how the city returned 85% of the accessories, a rate 1% higher than São Paulo, the city responsible for hosting six concerts by the band led by Chris Martin in 2023.
Buenos Aires, in Argentina, is in first place with the collection of 94%, while Santiago, in Chile, and Bogotá, in Colombia, returned 86% and 85%, respectively. The bracelet has been present at the band’s shows since the tour “mylo xyloto” and made entirely from sustainable plastic produced from sugarcane.
The accessory lights up, blinks and changes color according to the rhythm of the music, creating a true visual spectacle. The return of the item won a debate on social media as some fans wanted to take it home as a souvenir.

Coldplay’s Chris Martin asks fans to return wristbands because ‘they’re really too expensive’
In an interview with Venus Podcast, Chris Martin, vocalist of Coldplay, asked fans to return the LED wristbands used during the show because they are too expensive. The vocalist also told how the accessory changed the experience of doing shows.
These bracelets have changed our lives because they have allowed us to make a real connection with people and make everyone a part of it. [do show].
Martin explained how the bracelet was developed some 13 years ago by a man named jason, who used to make drums for “sex toys” and sold the idea to one of the artist’s producers, Phil.
We invested a lot of money. They are worth it because you see the crowd and they make the show different, but you should return them because they are really expensive.
