Artist recreates Coldplay's 'Up&Up' to get the band to Egypt

Coldplay fans in the Arab world have a bone to pick with the band, launching campaign after campaign to get the band to perform in Arab countries ... that aren’t the United Arab Emirates.

Now it’s Egypt’s turn, and the campaign is both massive and extremely creative.

The Starfish Campaign  asks Coldplay to extend its "Head Full of Dreams Tour" to Egypt in a social media campaign that has grabbed the attention of more than 46,000 people.

The campaigners have now come out with a photo album of artwork by Adel Allam ... all inspired by Coldplay's "Up&Up" music video.

"We believe in the effect of social media and we believe we can make a buzz," the groups says on its Facebook page .

The campaign is not limited to Facebook. It’s also spread to Twitter under the hashtag #ColdplayInEgypt to try and make the dreams of Egyptians finally come to life.
