Meanwhile, Chris Martin opted for a more laidback look, dressing casually as he prepared for the event. The contrasting styles highlighted the artists’ unique personalities while they geared up for their performances.
Doja Cat and Chris Martin were eager to showcase their talents as they hit the stage to rehearse for the Global Citizen Festival in Central Park, New York City, on Saturday. The energy was high as both artists prepared for their anticipated performances at the event.
Doja Cat, the 28-year-old American rapper, dazzled in a gold and silver diamond-embellished fringe dress during rehearsals for the Global Citizen Festival in Central Park, New York City.
Doja Cat’s stunning ensemble featured a V-neckline, silver and gold fringe detailing, and semi-sheer panels at the bust and sides. The “Paint The Town Red” hitmaker commanded attention on stage, elongating her frame with a pair of nude heels. With her tattoos on full display, she radiated confidence as she delivered a captivating performance ahead of the festival.
Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, 47, took a more relaxed approach for rehearsals, wearing an off-white T-shirt paired with dark grey trousers. He completed his look with casual chunky trainers and a black baseball cap featuring the word “Kiiid” at the center.
Chris Martin appeared in high spirits as he relaxed on a step, strumming his guitar during rehearsals for the Global Citizen Festival. This annual music festival aims to mobilize fans to take action against extreme poverty in exchange for free tickets.
Set to take place on the Great Lawn of Central Park, the festival unites global citizens, artists, activists, world leaders, and philanthropists with a shared mission to end extreme poverty. This year’s lineup includes headliners Post Malone, Doja Cat, LISA, Jelly Roll, Rauw Alejandro, Benson Boone, and RAYE.
Hugh Jackman will host the event, which will also feature notable appearances from Dr. Jane Goodall, founder of the Jane Goodall Institute and UN Messenger of Peace, alongside Chris Martin.
Chris Martin’s appearance at the Global Citizen Festival comes amid renewed criticism of Ticketmaster, particularly from Coldplay fans trying to secure tickets for the band’s six UK shows next summer as part of their Music Of The Spheres World Tour.
Fans faced significant challenges when general sales began at 9 AM on Friday. Ticketmaster required customers to authenticate their accounts but failed to send out verification codes, leaving many frustrated. Those who succeeded in accessing the site were met with messages of “limited availability” just minutes after sales opened, leading to accusations that the platform had oversold tickets during Thursday’s presale.
While many fans expressed their discontent, ticket touts took advantage of the situation, quickly reselling tickets for over £1,000 each.
This latest incident with Coldplay fans adds to the ongoing drama surrounding Ticketmaster, which has recently faced backlash over its ‘dynamic pricing system.’ This controversial pricing strategy led to tickets for an upcoming Oasis tour being sold for as much as £355, drawing criticism from fans and industry observers alike. The situation has raised further questions about ticketing practices and the accessibility of live events for fans.
