While protestors rioted outside, Coldplay and Shakira brought the house down.
When the Colombian pop superstar joined Coldplay singer Chris Martin onstage Thursday night, the crowd at Hamburg's Barclaycard Arena went wild. The pair, headliners at the 2017 Global Citizen Festival, spent nearly an hour singing duets of each other's hits, including Coldplay's "Yellow" and Shakira's "Chantaje".
It was the highlight of the event, and a peaceful alternative to the violent protests taking place just a few blocks away, as anti-Trump and anti-globalization demonstrators clashed with German police.
