Coldplay join both established and emerging music artists, who are using Instagram to share new material and connect directly with their fans.

Music is alive and thriving on Instagram. One in four of the most popular accounts on Instagram are from musicians, while those ‘behind the music’, such as audio engineer Young Guru (@youngguru763) and renowned music photographer Danny Clinch (@dannybones64), also using Instagram to share their passion for music. As a result, over the last five years, the community have been using Instagram to not only connect with artists they love, but experience behind-the-scenes music moments as they happen.
The track teases are also available on Coldplay’s Facebook page. Track one – A Head Full Of Dreams
