Ive never been to an outdoor concert for Coldplay. What should I expect? For those that have been to both, what do you think of the outdoor concerts compared to the indoor ones?

I have seen Coldplay 7 times. In 2005, I saw them at the Tweeter Center in Philly and it was the best concert I have ever seen.

 

I would say outdoors by a landslide

What makes an outdoor show better? I'm going to the Charlotte show and it's outdoors and it, too, is my first.

Atmosphere!!

 

Something about singing 'Look at the stars...." when actually looking at the stars is just unbeatable,`eh? And the effects like the "Clocks" lasers beaming out into the darkness, ...amazing!:D

the Fix You fireworks! :D

Outdoors, sound may be a tad worse, but then again you don't get reverb and the atmosphere is much better :D

The Clocks laser was amazing! When Will said on storytellers it put a roof on the world, he was not lying. At all.

 

The atmosphere is really great. Especially an nice summer night. Sound for me was iffy for the first half but after that I noticed no difference. In fact it sounded just as good as a Arena.

 

Each has a set of pros and cons. I'll rule in on June 20th

Thanks guys :)

Hmmm.... so im seeing them in the skydome in toronto... would LOVE if the dome was open which would make it amazing. but i doubt it will be.

To be honest, I've never been that thrilled by outside concerts... I'm hoping Coldplay at the LCCC will change my mind

I'm hoping that there's a good crowd in the amphitheatre for the Charlotte show. The one thing I'm afraid of is being with fans that don't sing along or stand or anything of the sort.

WOW! This is making want to see Coldplay LCCC all the more :D

Whoever went to last nights show...was it better than an arena concert?

I've been to two Coldplay concerts, both Viva La Vida tours. One was inside (BankAtlantic Arena in Sunrise, FL) and the other one was outdoor (Cruzan Amphitheater in West Palm Beach, FL).

 

I must say that I enjoyed the outdoor venue A LOT more. The reasons for this may be biased some what... because at the outdoor venue I was in the PIT, and it was their first venue for this Leg of the tour, so maybe they were really into it since it was refreshing to tour again, I don't know.

 

But I definitely enjoyed the outdoor venue.

I think outdoors, because the sound isn't bouncing off & echoing, I just saw them outside for the first time tonight, and saw them inside 3 times...so yea. And if inside, probably depends on where you are in relation to the speakers.

I concurr. Outside is better. PIT GA in Atlanta all the wayyy.
