said Martin before doffing his wig and glasses to reveal himself to the cheering crowd at the bar, whose tagline is “Getting Vegas drunk since 1962.”Martin, 47, was in Sin City for an acoustic performance on Saturday night at the iHeartRadio Music Festival at T-Mobile Arena, delivering a solo set of Coldplay classics like “Viva La Vida” and “A Sky Full of Stars” and the band’s Chainsmokers collab “Something Just Like This.”He joked that the other members of Coldplay couldn’t be at the festival — which also featured such A-list acts as The Weeknd, Dua Lipa and Doja Cat — because they were busy getting “bikini waxes.”After stripping it down for his iHeartRadio Music Festival gig, Martin dressed up for his night on the town in Vegas.He also surprised a couple from Phoenix — Mary Zatezalo and Austin Sanders — during their wedding photo shoot at the Tunnel of Love, handing out red balloons.The “Yellow” crooner then made his way to Dino’s, where he gave his surprise performance, coordinated with the bar by Live Nation, the producers of the iHeartRadio Music Festival.“They wanted a live moment, and it to be kept a secret so they could get a real reaction from everybody there,” Dino’s karaoke captain Matt Woodward — who emceed under the name K.J.

Boston — told the Las Vegas Review-Journal. “So it was all planned, but I didn’t tell anybody, not even the staff.”But after Martin gave his “pretty vulnerable” performance, Woodward added, “he ripped off his wig and the place went crazy.”“THANK YOU CHRIS MARTIN @coldplay FOR CHOOSING US TO RECORD YOUR MUSIC VIDEO WITH SUCH A VIRAL MOMENT.

BIGGEST SURPRISE OF THE YEAR,” Dino’s posted in an Instagram video. “Thank you again for being such a cool dude. Good luck on the new album & we hope.
