**Viva la Vida: Hull KR’s Journey to the Grand Final and a Community-Driven Revolution** Willie Peters’ team has secured their spot at Old Trafford by remaining true to their roots and prioritizing the local community. Recently, there was a wave of confusion when Coldplay, one of the world’s most popular and commercially successful bands, announced they would be performing at Sewell Group Craven Park, the home of Hull Kingston Rovers. This venue, with a capacity of just 20,000, will host the band for two nights next summer, alongside six performances at Wembley. These shows will be the only European dates for Coldplay, prompting even the local city council to label the news as “absolutely bonkers.” So, why Hull? The city boasts a vibrant musical legacy, having produced notable acts like The Housemartins, Everything But The Girl, and Mick Ronson. According to Neil Hudgell, the owner of Hull KR, Coldplay expressed a desire to perform in a location that felt “northern and gritty”—a place that is authentic, somewhat off the beaten path, and a bit quirky. Hudgell played a key role in bringing this unexpected event to fruition, making it one of the most sought-after tickets in the area.
