There's a video at the link below.Levi’s Stadium Authority Denies Curfew Extension For ColdplaySeptember 28, 2017 7:19 AMSANTA CLARA (CBS SF) – The city of Santa Clara did not grant an extension of a 10 p.m. weeknight curfew for a Coldplay concert scheduled at Levi’s Stadium next week. The extension for the Oct. 4 concert was considered once again at a Santa Clara Stadium Authority meeting Tuesday night that went past midnight, according to Santa Clara city spokesperson Jennifer Yamaguma. She said the consensus by the council is to implement a community outreach program proposed by councilmember Teresa O’Neill. Yamaguma said the incoming city manager, Deanna Santana, who starts next week, will examine O’Neill’s proposal and will attend the next stadium authority meeting with suggestions on how the outreach program will be enacted. In late August, the 49ers sent the city a letter saying they expect the concert to go past the 10 p.m. curfew time. The city council had declined an extension to 11 p.m. in a 4-3 vote at a stadium authority meeting on Aug. 24. The 49ers didn’t comment on the denial of the extension or the proposed community outreach program. The denial of the curfew extension for the Coldplay concert comes days after Grammy-awarding winning artist Ed Sheeran canceled a 2018 concert tour date, 49ers officials said on Monday. “We had reached an agreement to host international star and Grammy-award winning artist Ed Sheeran,” 49ers team President Al Guido said in a statement Monday. “His show will no longer come to Levi’s Stadium because after being warned that the music ban would cost the stadium future shows, Santa Clara Mayor Lisa Gillmor played politics and refused to correct, or even address, the music ban.” The 49ers said the curfew is costing the community money. “Now the community is paying the price,” Guido said Monday. “Four thousand hardworking individuals have lost their right to work, residents have lost out on millions of dollars in revenue, and music lovers have been denied an opportunity to view a world-class concert.” Gillmor claimed Monday to be surprised by the loss of revenue. “This potential concert loss is news to us,” she said in a statement. “We would appreciate the Forty-Niners Stadium Management Company bringing the data and the financial details before the Stadium Authority, particularly since we met just met last week.” 49ers Vice President of Communications Bob Lange said Tuesday that Guido’s reference to losing millions in revenue was referring to the previously estimated $100 million in concert revenue over the life of the building. “Concerts have made between $600,000 and $800,000 per concert for the city’s general fund since the building opened,” Lange said via email Tuesday. As this evening, Gillmor did not responded to the 49ers’ comments regarding the amount made for the city fund per concert. link

10 PM curfew? What? Why? I've never heard of such a thing unless a place is having an emergency like a riot or something. ????

No it's because of people in the neighborhoods behind it are snobs who don't like noise. Decision came after U2 played there this year and show lasted longer than expected. So people complained. A shame really. Hope they don't cancel, my friend is going to see them.

U2 went until 11:00 and got a $1,000 fine or something. Worth it!

Sorry, the stadium (or the 49'ers) was fined $1,000. Plus, they were looking into more charges, but I don't know the outcome of that. They are pretty serious about this curfew thing apparently. CP probably wasn't too surprised that they were turned down for the time extension, and sunset is around 7:00 p.m. there now (thanks Google, again), so hopefully it will be dark enough for their incredible production.

I knew it. Too late for Coldplay to fret about curfew in Levi’s Stadium concertBy Aidin Vaziri and Yoshi Kato Updated 2:19 pm, Thursday, October 5, 2017
Coldplay didn’t let the 10 p.m. curfew at Levi’s Stadium thwart its taste for a big spectacle on Wednesday, Oct. 4. Not only did the British rock band let its set sail nearly an hour past the Santa Clara City Council’s weeknight deadline for the venue, but it punctuated the evening with fireworks and pyrotechnics. The infraction is sure to spark another debate between the city of Santa Clara and the San Francisco 49ers, who manage the facility, around the feasibility of weeknight concerts at Levi’s, which is in a residential neighborhood. Taking the stage just before 9 p.m., the band led by Chris Martin made no mention of the time limit during its set and simply worked its way through a hit-packed, emotional performance highlighted by tributes to victims of the Las Vegas music festival massacre on Sunday, Oct. 1, and Tom Petty, who died Monday, Oct. 2. After opening the night with a suite of some of its most popular songs — “A Head Full of Dreams,” “Yellow” and “The Scientist” — Coldplay moved to a secondary stage in the middle of the field, where it previously headlined the Super Bowl 50 halftime show alongside Beyoncé and Bruno Mars, to perform a contemplative mini-set. “This song, if you want to send love anywhere in the world, this is the time to do it,” Martin said, introducing “Everglow.” He suggested Puerto Rico, Las Vegas, Mexico, Houston, Tanzania and the White House as places as in need of “some good California lovin’.” The quartet — Martin, bassist Guy Berryman, guitarist Jonny Buckland and drummer Will Champion — also honored Petty by noting his legacy and briefly working the chorus of his 1989 solo hit “Free Fallin’” into the outro of “In My Place.” Later, the frontman pulled a fan onstage to back him on keyboards for “Fly On,” a rarity from 2014, in honor of those affected in Las Vegas. The tragic shooting in Las Vegas weighed heavily not only on the band but also on those in the crowd of 50,000. “I was a little apprehensive” about attending the concert, said Michelle Simoni, 31, of Mountain View. “But you know what? You live once. Live life to the fullest.” Linda Frisk, 20, who was visiting from Sweden, said, “It’s kind of unreal.” But she wasn’t letting Sunday’s carnage affect her plans: Frisk was headed to Las Vegas the next day and had attended Imagine Dragons’ concert at Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View on Tuesday, Oct. 3, with 17,000 others, where that group’s lead singer, Dan Reynolds, had paused to say that the band’s hearts were both full and heavy when thinking about the victims in their hometown of Las Vegas. Imagine Dragons broke curfew, too — 11 p.m. for Shoreline shows — but by only 10 minutes. Last month, British pop phenom Ed Sheeran dropped Levi’s Stadium from his 2018 tour over the 10 p.m. curfew, 49ers President Al Guido told The Chronicle’s Matier & Ross. The one-night concert originally planned for August could have brought in upward of $500,000 to the city, Councilwoman Patricia Mahan said. “We are concerned that concerts may not come to Levi’s Stadium again unless the music ban is resolved in a way that works for everyone,” Guido reiterated Wednesday night. “We have already lost one event and will continue to lose more, costing thousands of local jobs.” The City Council had previously voted 4-3 to turn down Coldplay’s request for a one-hour curfew extension. Weeknight concerts at Levi’s Stadium have become a major point of contention with Santa Clara. Two acts at Levi’s — Beyoncé and U2 — broke the 10 p.m. curfew even after the city denied them extensions, opting to pay the $1,000 fine. As of Thursday morning, it was unclear if Coldplay would be held to the same standard and subject to a fine, since public safety officials advised Guido that “abruptly ending a concert could create a public safety emergency.” Levi’s is the only major outdoor stadium in California bound by a 10 p.m. weeknight curfew, the Niners say. link
