When Coldplay's touring crew lands in Kuala Lumpur three weeks before showtime, the stadium is still an empty shell. What follows is a logistical operation involving over 400 crew members, 60 trucks of equipment, and a stage design built around the band's signature light-up wristbands.

Production manager Alison Reyes walked our reporter through the build, from rigging the main truss to calibrating the thousands of Xylobands synced to the setlist. "Every show is basically built and torn down in under a month," Reyes explained.

The full gallery and video walkthrough are included below, alongside comments from local crew hired for the Malaysia leg of the tour.

This marks Coldplay's third visit to Malaysia and their largest production yet in Southeast Asia.
