as it has been discovered, adelaide has been left OFF the tour for march/february next year.

so, please, sign the official petition in my signature to help bring them here.. this may or may not make a difference to if they come or not, chances are they won't as it has been said we don't have a suitable venue, but still.

heres hoping.

 

 

please, sign here.

I'll sign it even though I don't live there...but what is a suburb?

It's like an area of a city, like the bronx and manhatten are part of greater new york.....honestly though I don't think it's going to do any good people who don't live in Adelaide signing it.

Hopefully it works, cause I can't afford the airfare to go to Melbourne. I know we had to petition them to come to Adelaide with the X&Y tour and that worked......still it's bullshit that they are doing two shows at EVERY other capital city bar the single show in Perth and they can't make the trip to Adelaide. I'll have been waiting 3 years for this show just to have some ass-hat presenter decide it's too hard. Very poor form.

Signed! :D And I might just sign again with a few fake names as well, I really want them to come here!

Guys, you realise that they've got a more extensive set than last time... if they can't set it up at your arena because it's simply unsuitable then :\

If they can set up in burswood perth they can setup here.

They dont have to play in the Ent Cent if that's inappropriate (though they DID fit Muse in there), there's always AAMI studium and other places. I see no reason not to come other than Adelaide not being as populated as the other cities, which is a crap reason cuz Coldplay sold out like that last time they played here.

Guys, Coldplay aren't going to play AAMI Stadium. They have stated previously they aren't comfortable playing a stadium on their own at the moment. Let alone the fact they havent played a stadium in their current tour and wouldn't have the right equipment to make it work anyway.

Since the AEC is booked 28 Feb - 8 March our best hope is they kick off in Adelaide before going to Perth, say on Wednesday February 25, or after Sydney, say Saturday March 14. Their is no suitable alternative venue.

In reality it isn't going to happen - but we can all live in hope!

No it aint and that sucks. I hate living in this city, it seems like every act I want to see always give us the bypass and every half arsed tosspot act seems to make the effort.

Well when I've got the money I'm gonna be moving out of here but until then I'd like at least a few more decent acts to see.

Okay the reason for them not playing here is that.....wait for it.......High School Musical: The Stage Show has the Adelaide Entertainment Centre booked for the end of February and all through March and with no other viable venue we are shit out of luck. Isn't that great? High School fucking Musical, I'm so stoked that I can go to that instead of Coldplay.....oh god, 3 years I've been waiting to go to this show and it gets bumped for that god awful shit....

oh my god..

are you kidding me?!

HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL OF ALL THINGS!!

 

i've been waiting for this concert, and i've been hoping and hoping.. but if the ent cent is booked out, i suppose there's nothing we can do.

I'm fucked if I'm going to miss this tour so I'm going to scartch some cash together and fly to Melbourne for one of their shows.

Welcome to the Canberra curse.

^ i wish more bands would actually come to the capitol territory of this country but i'm quite happy making the trip to Sydney

 

i signed the petiton for all you adelaide people:)

Turns out I can't get to Melbourne due to other circumstances and Sydney is going to be too expensive.......man this fucking sucks.

Didn't the boys stop by in Canberra last time? :thinking:

Hot response to Coldplay no show

 

Sign the petition here

 

Coldplay might be giving Adelaide the cold shoulder on its 2009 tour, but plenty of 'AdelaideNow' readers are warming to our petition to change the band's mind, report news.com.au.

 

Since last Sunday more than 1000 people have signed our online petition to bring the English supergroup to Adelaide. The response comes after last week's announcement that the band would not include South Australia in its 2009 tour.

 

Instead, Coldplay will only play dates in Perth, Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne when they visit in February and March. A schedule clash with High School Musical Live, on at the Entertainment Centre from February 28 to March 8, means the band could only play in Adelaide after its final Australian concert in Sydney on March 12. But a spokeswoman for touring company Chugg Entertainment said there were no plans to add Adelaide to Coldplay's schedule, despite the band playing the Entertainment Centre on its 2006 tour.

 

Readers on the AdelaideNow messageboards were irate when the Sunday Mail broke the news last week. "I go to plenty of concerts each year, but I can't be the only one buying tickets. I can't go interstate to see them. It is a shame but, hopefully, signing the petition will work," wrote Carl of Prospect. "This honestly breaks my heart! My fav band and have been for 10 years. I'll be in Melbourne without a doubt," wrote Nick of Henley.

 

But not everyone was convinced a petition was worth the effort. "Is there a petition I can sign to keep them OUT of Adelaide?" wrote Bianca of Adelaide. Facebook users have also come out in support of the petition, with a "Bring Coldplay to Adelaide" group attracting more than 800 members.
