Chvrches gave their new single ‘Over’ its live debut while opening for Coldplay last week – check out the footage below.The Scottish trio are supporting the Chris Martin-fronted band on their current run of ‘Music Of The Spheres’ stadium shows in São Paulo, Brazil.During the first gig of the stint last Friday (March 10), Chvrches played a 10-track set that included the first airing of their 2023 standalone single.“We are so grateful to be on these shows with [Coldplay],” frontwoman Lauren Mayberry told the crowd. “This is our first show opening for them and our first time ever in Brazil, so thank you very much for having us.”She continued: “This next song is a brand new song that we put out, and we’ve never played it live before.

Chvrches have spoken to NME about their new single ‘Over’, the “pressure” of stepping up to play stadiums with Coldplay, and how they’re preparing to mark their 10th year together as a band.The Scottish trio – comprising Lauren Mayberry, Iain Cook and Martin Doherty – released the anthemic standalone track last Friday (February 24) before confirming three UK headline dates for this summer.“It’s sort of like a little miniature era between [2021 album] ‘Screen Violence’ and whatever the next year ends up being,” Mayberry told NME of ‘Over’, which was helmed by Swedish producer Oscar Holter (The Weeknd, Coldplay and BTS, Charli XCX).“I guess normally we kind of strictly abide by the album format and the album campaign format, and we’ll collect songs over the course of months and years, and then make a record.”While pointing to a yet-to-be-determined future, ‘Over’ harks back to the classic Chvrches sound as Mayberry seeks an escape from a period of personal turmoil (“It’s getting harder to breathe/ So, baby, put me to sleep/ ‘Til it gets better). This widescreen pop style, coupled with a narrative-led approach to writing lyrics, meant the song “didn’t feel right” for ‘Screen Violence’ – an LP that provided commentary on the horrors of modern society and our increasingly digital world.“It seemed a bit stupid to sit on it for an indeterminate amount of time until we’re ready to work on the next thing,” Mayberry told NME of the reasoning behind dropping the tune now.“So we kind of figured we would free ourselves from the self-imposed album cycle rules and just put the song out because we have it, and we’ve got loads more touring to do this year.

Coldplay have announced a cinema presentation of a ‘Music Of The Spheres’ concert film.The film was recorded across the band’s sold-out ten-night run at the River Plate Stadium in Buenos Aires, which took place in October 2022.

Despite delivering a jaw-dropping, sell-out performance during last night's halftime 2023 Super Bowl, pop megastar Rihanna will not receive any payment for her concert according to decades-old rules. The Barbadian singer, 34, kicked off the live performance at Sunday night's 2023 Super Bowl suspended high above the stadium and dressed in all red, performing a medley of her chart-topping hits. During what was her first performance at the eagerly-anticipated American football event - her first in seven years - the Umbrella hitmaker made the shock announcement that she's pregnant with her second child.

Lots of behind-the-scenes stuff was difficult, trying to make it green, and then suddenly it became really difficult to transport things around the world.’Singer and frontman Chris Martin continued: ‘It became financially stressful, which we hadn’t had before.
