Ahead of British band Coldplay’s much-anticipated concert at Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium on January 25 and 26, Gujarat’s District Child Protection Unit has issued a legal notice advising the band not to feature children on stage in any capacity during their performance.

In addition, the concert organizers have been directed to ensure that no children enter the venue without adequate hearing protection, such as earplugs. This directive stems from concerns about sound levels at the event, which could exceed 120 decibels, potentially causing serious harm to children’s hearing.

Complaint Sparks Child Protection Measures

The notice followed a complaint filed by a Chandigarh resident, emphasizing the risks associated with high sound levels. The District Child Protection Unit has warned the organizers that failure to comply with these guidelines could result in strict action.

According to reports from ANI, the unit stressed the importance of adhering to these safety measures to protect children’s health.

Previous Complaints Against Performers

Interestingly, this isn’t the first time a high-profile performance has faced similar scrutiny. The same individual had previously filed a complaint against Punjabi singer Diljit Dosanjh regarding his ‘DIL-LUMINATI’ tour Grand Finale in Ludhiana. The Punjab Women and Children Department swiftly acted, issuing a notice to the Ludhiana District Commissioner, which led to a ban on certain songs during Dosanjh’s New Year’s Eve performance.

Coldplay’s India Tour

Before their Ahmedabad performance, Coldplay—featuring Chris Martin (vocals), Jonny Buckland (guitar), Guy Berryman (bass), and Will Champion (drums)—is scheduled to perform in Mumbai on January 18, 19, and 21, 2025. The band’s India tour is one of the most anticipated musical events of the year, drawing fans from across the country.
