Ricky Wilson: Coldplay Made Luton Songs Hard
3 Aug
Summary
- Ricky Wilson joked Coldplay's song about Luton set a precedent.
- Coldplay performed 'Orange' dedicated to Luton in 2024.
- Kaiser Chiefs will headline Luton's 150th anniversary concert.
Kaiser Chiefs vocalist Ricky Wilson has lightheartedly commented that Coldplay's musical tribute to Luton has set a high bar for subsequent visiting bands. The group, fronted by Chris Martin, previously performed "Orange," a song specifically written about Luton, during their 2024 appearance at Radio 1's Big Weekend.
Wilson's jest comes as the Kaiser Chiefs are scheduled to headline the upcoming Party in the Park event. This concert serves as a significant celebration, marking 150 years since Luton was established as a borough. Wilson playfully suggested that while he could alter their own popular song "Ruby" to include repeated mentions of "Luton," it might detract from the original track.
