Among the many replies to Coldplay's Instagram post on Wednesday was Irish busking sensation Allie Sherlock, who encouraged the band to "pop over" to Grafton Street, where she regularly performs, on Saturday.

Sherlock's cover of Coldplay's hit song "Viva La Vida" has racked up more than 2 million views since being posted on YouTube in 2021.
Coldplay has touched down in Ireland ahead of their four concerts in Dublin as part of their 'Music of the Spheres' world tour.
The band will play to sell-out crowds at Dublin's Croke Park on Thursday, August 29, Friday, August 30, Sunday, September 1, and Monday, September 2 - the final two Irish shows were added due to "huge demand" for tickets.
Coldplay last performed in Ireland in July 2017 for their "A Head Full of Dreams" tour, which was also staged at Dublin's Croke Park. Tickets for the show sold out within minutes.
During their 2017 Irish show, Coldplay welcomed a surprise guest from the audience, Rob O'Byrne, on stage.
O'Byrne later told CBS News "It was a great view. You see the whole of the Croke Park, just the top of people's heads."
On stage, Coldplay frontman Chris Martin handed O'Byrne a harmonica and the two improvised a duet.
"I just blew the harm when he stopped singing, and then he just looked down and said 'yeah just keep doing that,'" O'Byrne said.
