Local musician Meggan Carswell opened the show before tribute band Coldplace joined the stage to perform classics including Yellow, Fix You, Viva La Vida, Clocks, and Paradise.

Later in the evening, fans collected at the stage front and danced along to the show which featured bubbles and stage pyrotechnics.

It followed the first instalment of the series on Australia Day, when performers Tom Jennis and Johnny Red lit up the Soundshell stage with a high-energy tribute to David Bowie and Freddie Mercury.
