During Sunday's performance, frontman Chris Martin experienced an unexpected incident when he fell through a trapdoor while addressing the 50,000-strong crowd. Martin handled the situation with humor, acknowledging it wasn't planned and joking that it would "probably be a YouTube moment." He confirmed he wasn't injured from the fall.

The incident follows a similar occurrence involving Olivia Rodrigo, who also fell through a stage opening while performing in Melbourne during her GUTS tour. Both artists recovered quickly and continued their performances without serious issues.
