Coldplay to put on free NYC concert this week for Macy’s Fourth of July special

Post-pandemic entertainment is on the rise — starting with the chart-topping alternative band Coldplay.

The group is performing a free show in Long Island City at Hunter’s Point South Park on Thursday at 6:30 p.m. Interested and vaccinated fans can apply for the chance to score tickets at no cost to take part in the Macy’s annual Fourth of July Fireworks Spectacular, and of course, finally see a concert in person. The band gave fans the heads up on Twitter Saturday, inviting followers to request tickets. The Thursday-night concert will be pre-taped for the Macy’s Fourth of July firework special.
