While Phish is taking over Madison Square Garden once again this New Year's Eve, over in Brooklyn Jay-Z and Coldplay will be holding court at Barclays Center. Which concert will Justin Bieber attend?!
For those who have better things to do with their lives than keep up on who Coldplay's frontman and his wife Gwyneth Paltrow are palling around with: the couple is basically BESTIES with Bey and Jay. So this isn't really that weird, and it certainly won't mark the first time the two have collaborated before (they've even shared a stage on New Year's Eve in the past)...
Tickets go on sale November 17th at 10 a.m., along with tickets for the December 30th show, which is just Coldplay (it's been around 7 years since the band has performed a big show here). Don't know where to eat before the big show? Follow GOOP's Guide to Brooklyn hahahaha [weeping sounds].
