These Are All The Banned Items For This Weekend’s Coldplay Gig

Sure look, you’re probably an old hat at it by this stage if you’ve been to any recent concerts during the summer, but security has been stepped up and a few new things are now banned from arenas.

Most importantly: Bags. Backpacks or larger handbags will not be allowed in, and there will be NO storage facilities on the site.
