Chris Martin says fans can bring "camels and grandmothers" to Coldplay shows from now on after a list of strict concert restrictions went viral.
The Coldplay front man was forced to address the issue during the band's Auckland show on Saturday night after widespread coverage of a lengthy list of items banned from their Mt Smart Stadium show.
It included umbrellas, backpacks, bikes, branded food, selfie sticks, political slogans, chilly bins, lazers, fireworks and studded belts.

Martin took a moment to tell Saturday night's crowd he thought the restrictions were ridiculous, before launching into one of their biggest songs, Paradise.
