Coldplay's Jumbotron Captures — What Exactly? The Internet Has Its Theories

NORFOLK COUNTY, MASSACHUSETTS, JUL 18 – A viral video from Coldplay's Gillette Stadium concert prompted widespread online speculation and memes about audience members, including a man in a birthday sash and suspected corporate executives.

  • On Wednesday at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, Chris Martin asked cameras to scan the crowd, capturing a couple who appeared to dodge the lens and making the video viral.
  • Most concert venues warn attendees via signage that they could be filmed, and Gillette Stadium’s online policy states it may capture attendees’ image, voice and likeness.
  • A company spokesman declined to confirm who was shown on camera, while The Associated Press could not immediately verify the identities, fueling speculation.
  • News reports said the CEO’s LinkedIn account was disabled after a wave of comments, and the CEO denied a circulating statement as a `fake from a clearly labeled parody account`.
  • The company said it had opened an investigation into the incident, and in the internet age, such videos can quickly spread worldwide.
