Welcome back to Coldplaying! This year marks 26 years of Coldplaying being online and let me tell you, the internet has changed A LOT since then! coldplaying circa 2003 Online communities like Coldplaying have become a rare sight in 2026's online world. The rise of social media and platforms such as Reddit and Discord have taken over much of the space that forums used to occupy. The way people connect, share and discuss has shifted dramatically. Despite all that, I feel there's something special about this place. Coldplaying is not just a forum, it's more than 2 decades of Coldplay history. It's a place where millions of fans have come together to share their excitement…

Just a friendly reminder that if you are trying to sell tickets of any kind on Coldplaying.com, please be aware that tickets can only be sold at face value only. Scalping/touting tickets to make a profit is not permitted.

As Coldplaying's forums turn 20 this year, we're proud to say that the past 20 years of content has survived the test of time. That's almost 6 million posts from 130,000+ users, and it's all right here! Sadly, externally linked content such as concerts, interviews, photos etc. have not. The past 20 years has seen a number of file sharing websites come and go, along with the Coldplay content uploaded to them. That's why we are introducing the Coldplay Archive Project, a non-profit, fan-powered multimedia archive for Coldplay content. The Coldplay Archive has been set up to preserve as much Coldplay content as possible. Currently, over 24TB of redundan…

Hello everyone! As we are going through a strange time in the world at the moment, I thought I could answer a few questions on here. Whatever you've ever wanted to know about me, the inner workings of Coldplaying or our team, I am here to answer. I am currently social distancing and have too much time on my hands so I would also like to ask you people a question: What would you like to see from Coldplaying? I am aware that the site has been neglected as of late - namely the speed issues - but I am focused on bettering the site as much as I can during this period of isolation. So what do I get started on first? Whether I get 2 questions or 20, I will try and answ…

Hey everyone, We are launching a Coldplaying newsletter where we compile the latest news, rumours and throwbacks in one simple email! I'm not sure if it will be a weekly thing yet but get signed up by clicking the link below. We promise we won't spam you? Head over to newsletter.coldplaying.com to sign up!

Hey everyone, I wanted to ask you guys what features you would most like to see on Coldplaying? Any old features you would love to see make a comeback? A mobile app? Obviously I have other commitments and Coldplaying is unfortunately far down this list but I will try and bring back some of the more popular requested features Please let me know!

Hey everyone, As you can see, everything looks different! We moved over from an old server onto a brand new, super powerful server that will massively improve the speed of the website. During the transfer, we decided to take the plunge and change platforms. I was unhappy with the previous forum software as it was not very optimised and very difficult to develop on. This new platform combines the Forum and News section of the website into one streamlined experience. This will allow me to invite guest writers in to create content for Coldplaying as the experience is much easier. Before it would take hours to write a single article due to software limitations and s…

Hey everyone! We are in the process of completely revamping our multimedia section and need your help. The main aim of the revamp is to re-upload everything to our own servers so that they remain there for as long as possible. Pretty much every link from older eras has been dead for a while. We are also trying to organise everything into an easy to use system that favours high-quality recordings such as FLAC and HD transport streams. We are asking our users to comb through their Coldplay folders and upload any audio recordings of concerts in FLAC quality. Calls for video and lossy audio will come later but for now, we are only looking for FLAC audio concerts! Please…

The Coldplaying App has been neglected for some time but is now very close to being finished. Thanks to some kind donations we have been able to produce a public beta version of the app for Android with IOS coming soon. The new app uses an improved but similar layout to the previous version and contains a few new features that should make the experience much better. The beta signup is available here: http://bit.ly/ColdplayingBetaA Please leave feedback below so we can work on making the app better!

Hello everyone, As there are some rumours going around about internal 'drama' on the Coldplay Discord, I would like to clear things up. Due to disagreements in server policy regarding racist/derogatory slurs, we have decided to end our partnership with the server. Coldplaying has a widely diverse team and we felt uncomfortable at the handling of an issue that arose recently. The actions of a single staff member do not reflect the values held by the rest of the staff and members on the discord but we felt it was necessary to end this partnership to demonstrate that we do not tolerate such behaviour. We wish them the best in the future. For now, let's focus on o…

Hello and welcome back to the new and improved Coldplaying Forums! After a week of technical glitches and errors on the forums we finally decided to change forum software. The old vBulletin software was just too buggy and outdated to be used. The change to Xenforo was something we've been considering for the future and while it's not happened at the most convenient time, it's faster, more stable and is fully mobile compatible and is considered by many to be the best option for an internet forum. The downside is the customization that's disappeared from the removal of Vbulletin. Several of the desktop features, such as the chatbox, extra smilies, profile info will h…

Hi Everyone, Most of you may have noticed that the Coldplaying app has been removed from the IOS app store and has not been working so well on Android lately. This is mostly due to lack of funding for the app. For a small site like Coldplaying, it is not viable to continue development on our app. App Costs Tapatalk BYO - $40/mo Apple Developer License - $99/yr Google Developer License - $25/yr Total - $604/yr (+ any extra costs) As of today, we will no longer be supporting the app and pretty soon it will be removed from the Play Store. You will still be able to use the app but once you uninstall it, it will be gone forever. We simply cannot afford to continue…

Hey everyone, I haven't done one of these update posts in a while and a lot has changed since the last one. Firstly I would like to say a massive thank you to Christa42 for her years of amazing work. who recently stepped down from the Coldplaying Team. Christa has been part of the Coldplaying community for over 10 years and has been an integral part of the team and the community. Christa's unique personality and amazing moderating skills will be missed. Let's hope she will pop in to say hi in the future! Marcelo has also stepped down to work on his own projects such as coldplaybrasil.com. This currently brings us to 10 team members (including myself). Some of you…

We have a new tool you can use against spammers! The report button. Exactly the same as before, click on the report button under their user info / to the left of quick reply, enter the reason for the report (i.e. spam) and submit. If two members report the same post, the post is automatically removed from public view (so only mods can see it). If there is a spammer, report them straight away. Post on the chatbox if you need someone else to report too. This is also applicable to everything else that goes against our guidelines but please use it sensibly such as in a rare case when a member is being abusive or is 'trolling' and there no moderators online at that time. It…

It's that time of year again! Coldplaying will be having it's 2nd annual Ghost Story Day contest! We would like to have a fun project where members can create art work whether it be a photograph, painting, drawing, poem, etc with silly, funny, or not too scary pictures of ghosts (not too pervy either ppl) to help celebrate Halloween and the amazing Ghost Story song.

Ghoul Luck! Here is the winning entry from last year from @AMDB9 And here is a link to an article we wr…

As most of you may know, Coldplaying.com has a sister-site named WikiColdplay. While I was the one responsible in bringing the site back around this time last year (before I was owner), it has been left to digitally rot. I need your help to redo the wiki under a new domain which is currently private. We need to transfer all content from the old wiki (3000+ pages) to the new, more modern wiki. This will take a long time but with a bit of help I think we can get through it! You will need to have a vast knowledge of Coldplay and excellent english (preferably your first language). Please PM me if you are interested

We have a new addition to the Coldplaying team - Jc90 He's been very helpful and active around here lately. Leave your congratz to him below :)

Hi Everyone Since the world tour is upon us, Coldplaying HQ has become overwhelmingly busy and we have been in need of extra team members. The amazing Mike or @AwardChris, who has been running the Chris Martin Campaign and many of Mila Furstova's social media accounts is taking a break as a team member at Coldplaying.
