Sydney's streets have been taken over by 250 lucky fans who are getting ready to star in the video for Coldplay's latest song "A Sky Full Of Stars."

The band put the call out last night via Twitter, urging fans to meet in Sydney for their chance to star in the video. They've had a healthy turnout and have now asked fans to stay at home if they haven't already been given a coveted wrist band.
For those fans turned extras the next few hours promise to be memorable. They were briefed by staff at the Courthouse Hotel in Newtown a short time ago.
The band are in Australia for a promotional tour and will be at The Enmore later this week, their first small venue performance in Australia in a number of years.
