Coldplay

Coldplay were a band from the 2000s. Lucie Miller commented that Coldplay were as bad as the Eighth Doctor's frock coat. (AUDIO: Island of the Fendahl)

A Coldplay song was playing in a London pub when the Seventh Doctor and Ace entered. (PROSE: The Time and Tide)

Behind the scenes

 * David Tennant commented that he liked Coldplay during the Never Mind the Buzzcocks: Doctor Who Special.
 * Jodie Whittaker is a Coldplay fan, and recorded a cover of the song Yellow for Children in Need 2019. Coldplay members Jonny Buckland and Will Champion surprised her during the recording session, and worked in the song with her. Coincidentially, both of them were Doctor Who fans.
