5 Places Coldplay Should Totally Visit While in El Paso, Texas

Coldplay is blessing El Paso, Texas with their presence this weekend! And not to brag or anything but, El Paso is the ONLY Texas city on their Summer tour so it’s safe to say…. We’re kind of a big deal!!

While we’re all emotionally preparing to scream our favorite Coldplay songs at the top of our lungs, a few of us are also low-key hoping Chris Martin and the gang take a little tour of the 915 while they’re here so we can snap some selfies with them. But the question is: What iconic El Paso spots should the band visit (Assuming they even had the time)

Here are the top 5 iconic El Paso spots Coldplay should check out, according to locals:

Scenic Drive: There is nothing more beautiful than those El Paso views. Go right before sunset for the ultimate Instagrammable moment. Bonus points if you blast “Sky Full of Stars” while taking it all in.

Chico’s Tacos: I know, I know, It’s messy. It’s cheesy. But It’s also legendary. Your taste buds might be confused, but your heart will be full. Every El Pasoan has strong feelings about this place—and now it’s your turn, Coldplay.

Plaza Theatre: An architectural gem and local treasure. If you’re not playing here, at least tour it. The vibes are immaculate, and the ghosts are probably friendly.

The El Paso Museum of Art: A little culture never hurt anybody. It’s free, fabulous, and full of works that match Coldplay’s aesthetic energy. Bonus: it’s a short walk from the venue.

L&J Café: Right next to a cemetery and somehow still full of life. The green chicken enchiladas are a hit, and the vibes just scream El Paso.
