Great news :)

 

If only half of it is true, then we will be spoilt quite a bit ;)

Either with having a new album by the end of next year or with getting shows in smaller locations :)

Amazing, Can't wait for more news.

goosh I'm so excited right now!:D

Wow! Big news! Been ages since we've heard some news on their next material.

 

They always intended as Chris Martin and Jonny Buckland said earlier this year that they were to strip it down from the mega stadium rock of Viva La Vida and X&Y.

And here comes Mark's Coldplay-related puns, right on cue.

 

"Right on pew" would have been more appropriate in this case........................ :rolleyes:

:D

Oh Yay, i very much like the idea of the band being closer to the fans,

I think both sounds suit the band very well,

i can't wait to hear ..well anything new from them, really.

what a great news:lol:

If people have issues with Eno then why? The man's a genius and has refined their sound. I think with Viva La Vida, reviewers were sharpening their knives for Coldplay and tightening the noose if it was going to be anything like X&Y, but they just couldn't give Viva La Vida a bad review because ultimately, it was different to X&Y and better. Had Viva La Vida been their 3rd album then it would have been getting 5 stars all over the place. You mark my words. ;)

 

Perhaps a smaller tour of venues to try out the new stuff means a return to Aberdeen?! Chris said that they were going to release it with less commotion and publicity, and hinted at a smaller, more intimate tour. I think we're going to see Coldplay the band from now on not Coldplay the brand.

:wideeyed: :heart::heart::heart::heart::heart:.

So he has devised a plan with rock deity Eno and bandmates JONNY BUCKLAND, GUY BERRYMAN and WILL CHAMPION to record a stripped-down, more acoustic collection in the eerie church.

I seriously hope they continue witht the "stripped-down" album idea, it would be amazing if they did that next time :dance:

The band will then record "as live" in the church, then aim to do a tour of smaller venues for fans to hear the new stuff.

As for this ^ it would be a gigantic pain in the ass to get tixx, but so worth it :awesome:

this is complete dejavu of the lead up to the last album, the church, the so-called 'stripped down' approach etc.

Tour of smaller venues?!

 

:stunned: :o

 

If the new album is coming out next year, then that sounds great!!! :D

 

*excited* lol

Acoustic?!

 

Oh, God let this be true!! I :heart: acoustic!!

 

Thanks for the article!

wow :dance:

this is great news! im really excited now :)

can't wait to hear it :D :dance:

I'm guessing that this story is at least half true.

 

Given that their creative juices were gushing while they were on tour, it wouldn't surprise me if they are able to crank out a new album by the end of 2010. I'm not going to get my hopes up too much about a 2010 release, but again, I wouldn't be totally surprised. Yay!

 

I'm just a little unsure of the 'smaller venues' thing. If they are concerned about "being seen as a huge stadium act and totally inaccessible for their loyal fans", it seems if the venue is TOO small, it would have the opposite effect (not enough tickets to go around). The point is, we don't really know what to make of 'small', since size is relative. Considering the end of the VLV tour in Europe, with 30,000-40,000 (I'm guessing) in attendance at stadiums, a venue of about 10,000 could be considered 'small', in relative terms. Although it would be awesome to be in attendance of a really small intimate gig, like the upcoming one in Exeter, there would be too much disappointment in regard to the lack of tickets. Plus, if they want to have a chance of making a profit or just breaking even, it would still have to be a decent size. During the second leg of the U.S. tour, the 'shed' gigs averaged around 10,000 people, and the format was more intimate than the first leg of the tour with the arenas. 'Shed' gigs are not too big, not too small, not a bad seat in the house, and enough tickets to go around.

Sounds fantastic. Now we wait to see which parts are fact and which parts are fiction!:thinking:

Chris is determined not to be seen as a huge commercial rock juggernaut, filling stadiums and cashing in. This is the plan to keep them as close to their fans as possible

 

& this is why they're one of the best out there, in addition to their amazing work. I don't think i've ever been to a concert where I've felt that much like the band gave a crap about everyone in the stadium. except for maybe the goo goo dolls...but really. Coldplay FTW

YEEEEESSSSSSS :dance::D:P:):clap::laugh3:

That.

 

That's the first thing I thought of when I attended a recent concert from a different artist... Bruce Springsteen. Yeah, I was at THE concert where Bruce called out 'Hello, Ohio' instead of Michigan. I immediately thought of how Coldplay actually takes the time before the concert to learn about what's happening in the area where they are performing, local customs, etc., in an effort to be more in touch with the crowd.

Wait...so I guess we can't expect a huge world tour? That means they definitely won't come to where I live:bigcry:

You could just buy tickets to the nearest (or not-so-nearest) concert location and plan a nice little vacation around it. ;) Maybe you could take a vacation to beautiful Michigan... we love Canadians! I even work with a guy who crosses the border every day.

Best early Chris-mas present ever!

 

(Unless the boys release Christmas Lights as a single)

Thanks for posting this article.. Like the others I'm like :dance: :awesome: :D

I hope for it :D
