Tracing Coldplay and its music career

Coldplay was first formed as a collaboration between Chris Martin, Jonny Buckland, after the two met during orientation week at the University College in London, in September 1996. The two were joined by Guy Berryman and Will Champion subsequently.

The band performed their first show at The Laurel Tree, in Camden, Greater London, UK as Starfish, before subsequently settling on the name of Coldplay. In the exclusive interview with Debs Wild and Malcolm Croft for the book Life in Technicolor: A Celebration of Coldplay, released in 2018, the band elaborated further on the name selection:

"The final name change came courtesy of close friend and fellow UCL student Tim Crompton. Tim was in the process of putting a band of old schoolmates together (later called Bettina Motive)."

"While killing time waiting for a delayed removal van, he had considered the name after he found a copy of Philip Horky's book, Child's Reflections, Cold Play. Tim had a list of potential band names but Cold Play was quickly rejected; the future bandmates didn't like it, so they discarded it. Starfish were happy to pick it up," The band continued.

The band released their debut studio album, Parachutes, on July 10, 2000. The album was a huge success, peaking as a chart-topper on the UK album chart, as well as number 2 on the Australian chart and number 4 on the Kiwi album chart, respectively.

The band achieved critical acclaim with their third studio album, X&Y, which was released on June 6, 2005. The album peaked as a chart-topper on all the major album charts.
