Chris Martin dropped in for a surprise show, Delhi did not know

Vishal Dadlani, AIB members and Freida Pinto were also there

Wednesday night turned into a windfall bonanza for all those present at Summerhouse Café in New Delhi’s Hauz Khas Village, when Coldplay lead singer, Chris Martin, showed up for an impromptu performance. He was accompanied by Bollywood singer-music composer Vishal Dadlani, members of online comedy group All India Bakchod (AIB), musician Raghu Dixit and actress Freida Pinto. 

All the fans of the best-selling pop musician who missed out on this performance (most of them), were left disappointed when Dadlani tweeted these images from the gig late on Wednesday night.

The images show stand-up comedians Tanmay Bhat, Gursimran Khamba and Rohan Joshi, along with Raghu Dixit, Dadlani and Martin, besides others.

Soon, twitter was up in a frenzy as music lovers, as well as prominent musicians, bombarded Dadlani’s wall with questions about the ‘event’.

It wasn't an event. We were at a dinner together, and he just went 'let's go play somewhere'! And, boom! @karshkalemusic

This was followed by another round of images, both on Twitter and Instagram...

...and some fun banter by Rohan and Tanmay of AIB...

I can now officially say I introduced Chris Martin on for a set. Holy. Shit.

Hahaha, just introduced Chris Martin to come do a small set at summerhouse cafe at hauz khas. What?

... and finally Rohan's videos.

 

Ohhhh, that's just Chris Martin from Coldplay, playing a little acoustic set at a bar in Delhi, for fun, because why not? Yes my life is a surreal, ridiculous thing

The fan reaction, however, was best summarised through this tweet.

I'll feel better if I killed everyone who watched Chris Martin's impromptu gig at Summer House last night. Maybe not. But it's worth trying.
