The hit-making British-born rock band will play the variety show on February 4.

The show will be hosted by Chilean and American actor Pedro Pascal, known for his work most recently on the hit HBO show, The Last of Us.
Coldplay shared the SNL news on Twitter, tweeting the announcement and adding a mushroom emoji. And SNL also shared the news, writing on Twitter simply, “Pedro Pascal and @coldplay are here next week!!!”
Prior to Coldplay, the show’s past two musical guests included Sam Smith on January 21 and Lil Baby on January 28.
Check out the show, which airs on NBC on Saturday night at 11:35 pm local time.
Coldplay, which recently announced a handful of upcoming Fall west coast tour dates, is also nominated for several awards at the upcoming Grammy Awards, which will air on February 5, following their SNL performance.
