Following the recent controversy surrounding a ‘kiss cam’ moment at a Coldplay concert, another event from the band’s Music of the Spheres tour is making waves. Football icon Lionel Messi and his wife, Antonela Roccuzzo, were seen enjoying Coldplay’s final U.S. concert of 2025 in Miami. A video capturing Messi’s shy smile and wave to the crowd has gone viral, eliciting a passionate response from fans. The stadium erupted in chants of ‘Messi! Messi! Messi!’, transforming the atmosphere into a football match-like experience. This concert marked the end of Coldplay’s U.S. tour leg.
Earlier, a ‘kiss cam’ incident involving Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and HR head Kristin Cabot had caused significant online uproar. Their intimate moment, shown on the jumbotron, led to a wave of public discussion. The couple, who were married to other people, faced widespread criticism, and both ultimately resigned from their positions. Coldplay’s lead singer, Chris Martin, humorously commented on the incident from the stage, which further fuelled the online conversation.
