Like any globally influential and commercially successful band, Coldplay has its share of both fans and critics. However, Jack Cochrane, guitarist and lead vocalist of the Scottish indie rock band The Snuts, disagrees with the criticism Coldplay faces. In a recent interview with The Times, Jack boldly stated: “I think people who don’t like Coldplay are uncool.”

Born and raised in West Lothian, Jack shared one of his most memorable experiences—watching Coldplay perform at T in the Park in Scotland when he was only 15. “They’re one of those bands that everybody pretends they’re too cool to properly love, but the performance, the production, and the atmosphere—with everyone singing their songs—was unforgettable,” he expressed.
Coldplay has long cemented its place in the hearts of fans with timeless hits like “Yellow,” “Fix You,” and “Viva La Vida.” But as Jack pointed out, some people seem indifferent to the band, viewing it as “uncool” to love Coldplay. However, no one can deny Coldplay’s massive appeal and global influence.
Ahead of their upcoming 10th studio album, Moon Music, Coldplay has made history by becoming the only act to headline Glastonbury five times—a remarkable achievement. Not only that, but Coldplay’s Music of the Spheres World Tour has been in full swing since 2022, selling approximately 10 million tickets to date. This tour is a testament to the band’s enduring popularity and ability to create a mesmerizing experience where fans worldwide can immerse themselves in Coldplay’s magical musical world.

The band is scheduled for 10 consecutive shows at Wembley Stadium in August and September 2025—an event eagerly anticipated by fans. This further solidifies Coldplay’s status as a global phenomenon with the power to light up any stage they step on.
Although they haven’t reached Coldplay’s level, The Snuts is steadily making its mark across Europe and the UK. They are currently on their own tour, with stops at notable venues such as Paradiso in Amsterdam, O2 Academy in Bristol, and OVO Hydra in Glasgow through December. For The Snuts, performing at these prestigious venues is a step closer to connecting with fans and establishing their presence in the music industry.
Jack Cochrane’s admiration for Coldplay isn’t just about loving their music but also respecting the band’s ability to captivate fans around the world. For him, Coldplay isn’t just a band—they are an icon, a testament to music’s power to connect people across borders and cultures.

While some may view liking Coldplay as “lacking personality,” Jack believes that this reflects a superficial approach to enjoying music. He thinks those who dislike Coldplay may be trying to appear “different” and “cool” rather than genuinely embracing their music. Jack’s statement has resonated with many Coldplay fans, drawing support for his view.
Coldplay’s success comes not only from their catchy hits but also from their performance style, professionalism, and the way they connect with audiences. Coldplay knows how to turn each concert into an unforgettable experience, where everyone can immerse themselves in each melody and lyric. For fans like Jack Cochrane, the love for Coldplay isn’t just about the music but also about the irreplaceable memories and emotions they evoke.
Jack Cochrane and The Snuts continue their own musical journey, and perhaps, in the future, they’ll become a band with a similar level of influence as Coldplay. For Jack, Coldplay is not just an idol but also a role model for dedication and genuine passion for music.
