In June 2012, Coldplay was in the midst of their "Mylo Xyloto" tour, promoting their fifth studio album, "Mylo Xyloto," which was released in October 2011. This album marked a significant transition for the band, showcasing a more experimental sound and incorporating elements of pop and electronic music alongside their signature alternative rock style. The live recording from the Stade de France in Paris features the iconic track "Yellow," which has been a long-standing favorite since its release in 2000, reflecting Coldplay's evolution over the years. Notably, the "Mylo Xyloto" album was received well commercially, debuting at number one on the charts in several countries, and it was characterized by its vibrant artwork and themes of love and hope, paralleling the energetic and emotive atmosphere of their live performances during this period.
