The song "42" stands out in Coldplay's catalog for many reasons. From the 2008 album Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends, the melodic tune starts with a mournful piano figure, adding strings before arriving at a pulsing rock and roll midsection, then fading on Chris Martin's simple, affecting vocal.

Its multipart, chorus-free composition is unique among the beloved British band's signature tunes. Beyond that are the lyrics, a meditation on mortality and memory. These elements add up to a singular song for not just Coldplay, but all of pop music. No wonder "42" is the source of inspiration for the world's hardest-working Coldplay tribute band.

42... An International Tribute to Coldplay doesn't just play Coldplay's most iconic hits. Note for note, move for move, band member by band member, 42 aims to fully embody the Coldplay experience: the emotion, the pathos, the triumph, the grandeur, the intimacy.

Coldplay concerts draw millions of fans around the globe for good reason, but in all their big-budget, stadium-filling glory, they come along all too seldom. Stepping up to fill in in the interim, 42 brings the next best thing. From well-known hits like "Yellow," "Fix You," and "Clocks" to rarer material like "Square One," "Talk," and "The Hardest Part," these five guys love the songs you love, and they love to play them live.

Comprising veteran musicians from Charlotte, North Carolina, 42 has been thrilling audiences around the world for the last eight years, delivering Coldplay fans shivers of familiar inspiration and making true believers out of non-fans. Catch them live and see for yourself just how dedicated and how talented a tribute band can be.
