Mumbai’s iconic local trains witnessed an unforgettable moment of musical unity when passengers returning from Coldplay’s live performance turned their commute into an impromptu sing-along session. The British rock band’s concert at DY Patil Stadium left such an impression on attendees that the journey home became an extension of the celebration.
‘Hymn For The Weekend’ On The Train
Content creator Moksha Shah was lucky enough to record the endearing moment. She posted it on social media, captioning, “Mumbai locals never miss the vibe check, even with Coldplay.” In the video, passengers, cramped inside the train, sing the “Hymn For The Weekend” song by Coldplay in unison. Some people played the track on their phone to recreate the magic of the concert and make their otherwise mundane ride inside the train a musical one.
“Guys, this was the train back home after the concert. Everyone who attended the concert just did a mini-concert, even when there was no place to sit. I found this so wholesome that this city can do anything,” Shah explained in a comment on her post. Her video resonated with viewers, capturing the communal spirit and resilience that define Mumbai.

Their post read: “From the bottom of our hearts, thank you Mumbai (green, white, and saffron hearts emojis representing the Indian flag). It was a dream come true to play three concerts in your beautiful city. We will never forget how you made us feel. We’ll be back! (sparkle emojis).”
