Coldplay headlined the Pepsi Super Bowl 50 Halftime Show on Sunday in San Francisco, bringing out some of their biggest hits while performing on a stage drenched in effulgent flowers and psychedelic colors.
The British band opened with "Viva La Vida," with Chris Martin stooping down into a crowd of rabid, photo-snapping fans who wiped his face with a rainbow hankerchief. After that Coldplay played "Paradise" and "Adventure of a Lifetime" while a marching band trotted out, and then dancers hit the field holding flowers (dressed like the flower stems themselves).
Ceding the stage to Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars, the latter hit the stage dressed in old school hip-hop finery for a snappy run-through of "Uptown Funk!"
