Back to the Start is a tribute to Coldplay's earliest and most iconic era, capturing the raw emotion and atmospheric beauty of Parachutes, A Rush of Blood to the Head, and X&Y. With a deep reverence for the original sound, the band delivers an immersive experience that takes audiences on a journey through Coldplay's golden years—from the intimate melancholy of "Sparks" to the soaring anthems like "Clocks" and "Fix You."
Led by vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Scott Ivey, the band features Eric Johnson on guitar, Daniel Ellis on bass, and Brandon Barnes on drums. Together, they channel the spirit, tone, and passion that made Coldplay a global phenomenon—before the stadium synths and pop beats.
