A moment during a recent Coldplay concert in Boston has captivated social media users after a video clip showing three concertgoers appeared on the venue’s jumbotron screen and quickly went viral. The video, initially shared online by concert attendees, features two individuals — later identified as Andy Byron, CEO of the data orchestration company Astronomer, and Kristin Cabot, the company’s Chief People Officer — appearing closely seated together during the band’s performance
The clip gained traction after Coldplay’s frontman Chris Martin asked for the cameras to highlight members of the crowd for his live segment known as the “Jumbotron Song.” When the camera focused on Byron and Cabot, the two were seen reacting with surprise, with Cabot momentarily covering her face while Byron leaned out of the frame. The moment, which was accompanied by a lighthearted comment from Martin, quickly led to widespread speculation online.
