December 8, 200817 yr i'm not to sure if i read the liverpool thread right, but did jay z support ? and is he supporting in manchester ? thanks guys :) Jay-Z is not supporting until next September's gig in Manchester (at the LCCC ground) Not sure who supported in Liverpool, but it's going to be a band called The High Wire in Manchester (Their MySpace page: http://www.myspace.com/thehighwire)
December 8, 200817 yr I am getting more and more excited by the minute!!! Its my first time seeing the lads and I just don't know what I'll do with myself until thursday! And I'm going on friday too, got to catch up on lost time!
December 8, 200817 yr MEN 11/12/08 Tickets Available Hi there I purchased 4 tickets for the MEN concert on 11/12/08. Unfortuneately the other people that were due to take the tickets cannot now attend. Therefore I have 3 tickets available for Block 104. The ticket face value is £42.50 and I am not looking to make any money and to sell them for face value. I am happy to sell either 1, 2 or all 3. This is genuine. I am attending the concert so collection can be made on the night of the concert at the venue. So if you want to see one of the best live shows or know someone that does then get in touch. Best wishes Viva Forever

December 9, 200817 yr Can anyone tell me if Duffy is supporting the band at M.E.N. on 12th Dec ??? The support's the same as the 11th - band called The High Wire. She supported the guys over in the US for a few dates.
December 10, 200817 yr just one more sleep left and then its coldplay time :D though i have an issue, my camera is kinda big, its not a dslr, more of a bridge camera with a fixed lense. reckon i'll have any trouble getting it in?
December 10, 200817 yr Got a big coat?! I wouldn't chance it myself, my first time seeing the lads so I don't want to jinx it. One more sleep, or I maybe too excited and get no sleep!
December 10, 200817 yr hmmm, im sorta tempted to take both my point an click an the bigger camera, an ask someone at the doors when i start queing, if i get told i cant take it in then i can always just run back to the car an stick it in't glovebox
December 10, 200817 yr Tomorrow guys!!! It's been a long wait....... ok, well i did go to Paris to see the boys for the most phenomenal concert in September..... but it's still been a long time and i can't wait for tomorrow! Got a nice long drive ahead, but will all be worth it!!! Rather excited right now!
December 10, 200817 yr yay!!!!! for one more sleep :D its been one thousand and I forget how many days since my last gig. I am a little over-excited that I'll soon be counting down in hours :D :dance:
December 10, 200817 yr dug out my t shirt from the twisted logic tour since im too skint to buy a one of the new ones, just gotta listen to all the albums before bed now!
December 11, 200817 yr Morning all, I'm new to the forum and thought I'd let you know that I'm off to tonight's show. I saw them for the first time in Sheffield just over a week ago and they were amazing so I thought I'd look on Ebay and try and get a ticket for this one as well, where I've managed to get a genuine one at ticket face value. Hopefully they will stick with the set list they've been using for the past few shows perhaps with a few additions. I'd like to see Yes included or something from X&Y say Low or What If (that'd be quite nice on the B set). A long shot but it would be brilliant if we had Shiver or Everything's Not Lost from Parachutes. Edit: I best get relearning the lyrics for Green Eyes, just in case it crops up again!
December 11, 200817 yr Author Manchester Preview: Coldplay Bring Timeless Tunes To Town That Chris Martin, he’s a dark horse. Actually, what are we saying? No he isn’t. He’s a man who usually screams up for what he believes in and uses the back of his hands like portable billboards for worthy causes. But apparently, he was capable of keeping one little secret – the band’s crush on Take That, and their desire to be the Manchester four piece’s warm up act. “We were in the dressing room yesterday and, for whatever reason, we started singing Back For Good,” Chris told Coldplay.com last month. “We sang the whole thing, word for word, with all the right chords on our piano, without having to learn it or anything. It was great… if Take That want us to open for them, we’ll do it. The only problem is that we’ll have to get down the gym for a bit.” Or, CityLife reckons, just do a few more lengths on that runway he likes to work up a sweat on live… Truth is, Coldplay are now much bigger than Take That. Since they exploded in 2000 with their second single, Yellow, they’ve sold more records than TT, cracked the US, scored No.1 albums across Europe, Australasia and America, married into Hollywood, secured an unblemished commercial (and, for the most part, critical) record, and even – if reports are true – nestled in near the top in some of the UK rich lists. Grammy Awards This week, the annual Grammy Awards announced that Coldplay had been shortlisted in seven catagories – the second largest number of nominations this year behind Lil Wayne and ahead of Jay-Z, who the band has recently worked with – including album of the year for Viva La Vida. All former students at University College London (bassist Guy Berryman was the only one not to graduate in favour of concentrating on the band), Coldplay look and sound like a group that has always been aiming for international stardom. Martin admits his biggest heroes are U2 and 1980s Norwegian popsters A-ha – influences that Coldplay’s soft indie rock (and aspirational attitude towards the power of music to heal the world) often give away. The secret to their success, then? CityLife reckons it’s what The Beatles knew: good melodies and timeless tunes. If you want the insider goss, though, you’ll have to keep your eyes on the backs of Martin’s hands... Coldplay play the M.E.N. Arena on Thursday/Friday, December 11/12. Jon Hopkins, The High Wire support. Tickets are £38/£42. Call 0844 847 8000 to check availability. http://www.citylife.co.uk
