The K-pop and Coldplay Collab We Didn’t Know We Needed
TWICE and Coldplay on stage together? It really happened.
At Coldplay’s Music of the Spheres World Tour stop in Seoul in May 2025, TWICE joined them live. It wasn’t just a cool moment—it was a major crossover between K-pop legends and global rock icons.
As soon as TWICE and Chris Martin hit the stage, the crowd went wild and K-pop Twitter exploded. This performance made history and fans are obviously still talking about it. 🔥
From Surprise Rumors to Standing Ovations
Coldplay announced that TWICE would join them in 2024 prepping fans for the excitement for their Seoul show.
Then during soundcheck, eagle-eyed ONCEs caught TWICE members backstage and things went ✨feral✨ online.
When TWICE actually came out to perform “My Universe” with Coldplay (a song originally done with BTS), the stadium went wild. TWICE brought their signature vocals and choreography, and somehow it worked perfectly with Coldplay’s more chill, atmospheric vibe.
One fan posted, “It felt like two worlds collided… in the best way possible.” And honestly? Yeah. Nailed it.
Why This Collab Is Kind of a Big Deal
This wasn’t just a cute moment or a fun mashup. It was a huge win for K-pop fans everywhere.
TWICE showing up at a Coldplay concert says a lot about where K-pop stands globally. It became one of the most talked-about moments in recent TWICE news and K-pop concert news.
This was a mainstream Western band bringing one of Korea’s biggest girl groups into their world.
For fans keeping up with the latest TWICE news, it’s another reminder that TWICE isn’t just killing it in Korea or Japan. They’re headlining festivals, doing global tours, seeing a rise in global K-pop concert headlines, and now collaborating on stage with global legends.
No big deal.
Setlist Vibes & Viral Moments
Coldplay ran their usual tour setlist, but the encore hit differently.
Nayeon, Jihyo, and Jeongyeon absolutely owned the vocals for “My Universe.” The rest of the members brought full-stage energy with choreography that felt polished, fun, and still very TWICE.
After the song, Chris Martin was all smiles, jokingly handing out honorary Coldplay jackets and pulling the girls into a big group hug. You already know that moment ended up everywhere including TikTok edits, Instagram Reels, fancams galore. Insta gold.
TWICE posted some great behind the scenes.
Fans Are (Still) Screaming
Fans didn’t just love it—they’re still spiralling.
Some said it was better than the original version. Others begged for a full remix or a recorded collab. A few even started manifesting a Coldplay x TWICE world tour. The energy was unhinged in the best way.
This performance felt like fanfic come to life, and everyone is hoping it’s not just a one-time thing.
Wait, Is This a One-Off?
No official announcement yet about a remix, performance video, or future project. But let’s be real Coldplay has collab history with K-pop (hey, BTS), and TWICE is clearly in their global collab era.
So the fan theories? Already flying. A remix of “Talk That Talk”? A special single? A behind-the-scenes doc? Anything feels possible after this.

What This Means for K-pop Collabs
This wasn’t just a cool stage moment. It was a major shift.

This moment? K-pop history. And something tells us it won’t be the last one.
