Held as part of the 'Viva La Vida Tour' sponsored by the channel, the concert was held on 28 March in Abu Dhabi and drew a raucous crowd of thousands of fans and music lovers.
The excerpts will be aired during the weekly Wayakom show that focuses on latest events in the region. In addition, a face-to-face with Coldplay band members, and interviews with fans and MTV Arabia competition winners of free tickets to the concert, will also be aired.
Coldplay has sold more than 30 million records worldwide and is widely recognised as one of the most famous rock bands of the new millennium, rocketing to success in 2000 with the single 'Yellow' from their debut album 'Parachutes'.
The band's current album 'Viva La Vida' is one of the most commercially successful rock albums released this decade and has earned seven nominations at this year's Grammy Awards, including Album of the Year. Other Coldplay hits include 'Viva La Vida', 'Violet Hill', 'Lost', 'Fix You', 'Clocks', 'The Scientist', and 'Lovers in Japan'.
A joint venture between MTV Networks International and Arabian Television Network, part of Arab Media Group, the largest media group in the UAE, MTV Arabia aims to reach out to young audiences through its unique programming that remains sensitive to local cultural values while offering world class entertainment.
