What pseudonym did Coldplay use for Global Citizen - EP 1?

What pseudonym did Coldplay use for Global Citizen – EP 1? The answer is Los Unidades.

Coldplay released Global Citizen – EP 1 in 2018 under the pseudonym Los Unidades. It was the band’s first release credited to that name, presenting a collaborative project built around Global Citizen’s campaign to fight extreme poverty rather than a conventional Coldplay studio release.

The EP arrived on 30 November 2018, shortly before the Mandela 100 Global Citizen Festival in Johannesburg, South Africa, on 2 December. Its tracks featured a range of guest artists, including Pharrell Williams, David Guetta, Stargate, Stormzy, Wizkid and others. Coldplay members performed on the recordings, while the project’s broader lineup gave it a more international and activist-oriented character.

The name was not an unrelated new band: Coldplay had registered the Los Unidades trademark in late 2017. The EP’s proceeds were directed to Global Citizen, and the release formed part of the group’s wider connection with the organization’s advocacy work. The main potential confusion is treating Los Unidades as a separate permanent act rather than Coldplay’s project pseudonym.
