Two people stand outside a brick building with a sign reading "THE CROWN". The building has an arched entrance, multiple windows and picnic tables. A woman on the left wears a black zebra-print shirt with sunglasses on her head. A man on the right is wearing a blue shirt with white text.

It’s not just fans who are excited about the return of Coldplay to the UK as businesses close to the Hull venue say they’re expecting a “sell-out” too.

Harry Brown, the landlord of The Crown pub around the corner from Craven Park, has ordered 100 hundred extra barrels of beer and cider. He’s also hoping Coldplay might fancy a pint after the show and said they’re more than welcome to use his gazebo.

But Mr Brown is facing competition from Diane Cooper who runs the Robins Cafe and is also hoping the band might pop in to help her celebrate her 66th birthday.

Sadly, she hasn’t got a ticket for the gig but said she’ll be “enjoying it in the car park”.

A woman stands in front of a black and white striped food truck named "Spud Buds" with the name in red letters. A menu board is visible in the background.

Meanwhile, Paige Taylor from Spud Buds said she was expecting to sell about 1,000 potatoes from her food truck across both nights – she’s going to be serving up inside the fan village.

We also asked her what topping she thinks Chris Martin would go for. Her response: “I think he’d choose chilli. He’s a bit rough around the edges.”
