Coldplay does a fantastic job at what they do, making British pop music. You'll never see them push the artistic boundaries of what they might be capable of. They write and perform songs for the masses and they're great a doing it.

I can't comment on their live performances as I've never seen one, however it doesn't surprise me that they are so appealing. The majority of their songs don't require complex instrumentation, which allows for more theatrics. Also most of their songs have long lyrical sections that are simple and familiar that everyone can sing along with, and their tempo is very similar in all of their songs, not really changing, just a basic set pace.
