April 12, 201115 yr Thread title edited and thread linked in Jen's Easy Thread Finder! :) It's official!! :dance:
April 12, 201115 yr the big question is. will it be there only show down here? they have nothing between splendour and october.
April 12, 201115 yr COLDPLAY ARE CONFIRMED FOR SPLENDOUR 2011 Hey guys! Don't know if anyone knows this yet, but Coldplay have been OFFICIALLY confirmed as headliners for Splendour in the Grass 2011. It was announced on Triple J this morning!!!!
April 12, 201115 yr I think I'll probably just wait until they inevitably return next year touring their new album. $400-500 is more than I'm willing to pay just for four bands I like.
April 13, 201115 yr just to clear something up. it WILL be coldplay's only aus show. How do you know this for sure?
April 13, 201115 yr Best news to wake up to! I'm looking at flights right now, but waiting to hear from a friend to see if she'll come with me. So excited!
April 13, 201115 yr How do you know this for sure? It's on the Splendour website. Kanye's not playing any other Australian gigs this year either.
April 13, 201115 yr my chances of going have gone from about 10% last night to about 40% now. won't be booking flights until i have full confirmation from friends. really hoping coldplay doesnt clash with any of my other favourite acts on the line up (which for the record nothing compared to last years) and as disgusted as i am with the ticket prices i think i'll end up getting the camping ticket because its only $120 extra which is less than what 4 nights accommodation and travel to the site will cost me.
April 13, 201115 yr WILL BE THERE!!!!! Grace is taking me, so just got to organise my flights. Hoping for a 2nd announcement with Beady Eye on it. Sad that AM's weren't on the bill
April 13, 201115 yr i'll be very surprised if they announce an act as big as beady eye in the second announcement. if they do you won't be hearing any complaints from me.
April 13, 201115 yr Yeah, camping ticket seems more worth the while. And flights to Brisbane are relatively cheap, so score. My friend wants to go, so it's looking like I'll be heading to Queensland!
April 13, 201115 yr :( so theres no chance of coldplay coming to the west coast (perth)? gah, i really really really want to see coldplay again :(
April 13, 201115 yr Im booking flights today. Who is up for a meet up? Theres a good chance that i am going :D but my mum and probably brother will have to tag along with me
April 13, 201115 yr I'm working on my fellows here to get a group going up from Adelaide. I'm still tossing up whether it's worth it, or whether to wait til they do their album tour. I don't care what the Oracle says, if they're doing festival shows without playing any new material, I'll be sad..especially after $500 to get there etc.
April 13, 201115 yr Wait when you think about it is it worth spending all that money for like 3 or 4 songs?
April 13, 201115 yr I thought they'd be playing if not a full set, at least close to. I thought the main acts usually took the stage at around 10PM and were done sometime near 12AM, if I'm not mistaken?
April 13, 201115 yr i'm very curious to see what they decide to play at splendour. if they want to please the predominantly triple j crowd it will have to be nothing past 2002 material. if they do they're normal show i guess it will be a mix of hits plus the odd new song.
