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?

 

not quite. headliners are splendour typically do an 80min set maybe a tad longer. which i guess isn't that much shorter than a normal cp concert.

most likely hits............. 100% chance yellow

Ah, right. Thank you. For an hour and twenty minutes, that will be around 14+ songs, I'd assume. The concerts during the "Twisted Logic Tour" clocked in at around 17 songs over 1.5 hours, and for their last tour, pretty sure time on stage was almost 2 hours.

 

Suppose we'll see soon enough.

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.

 

Im in Adelaide too!!! There are a few of us.....

Do you guys actually know where it is, like the park that its at because I'm looking at accommodation for the night before in Caboolture........... except I'm not sure about that actual spot of the festival

I'd rock up just to hear AROBTTH in full.

Network Ten have been in touch, they want some Coldplayers to interview as part of a story on the Splendour/Coldplay stuff. I've asked them to post here in this thread but in the meantime please let us know in this thread if you are interested in helping! :)

What da hell? How odd.

I'm not spending around $400 extra when I can wait a year

...even though I miss out on the other rather excellent acts (Panics </3).

video hits always do a special on splendour. would be rather nice to meet Fuzzy, shes cute but they would probably want to ask about coldplay and i would be like "uhhh can we talk about kanye instead?" :lol:

Ooh, sounds interesting (and awesome). I'd love to do it, but I think my self-consciousness would probably stop me from participating. Way too embarrassed -- and also, camera shy.

HELLS YEAH I'LL HELP

This news has made my year.

 

PS Hello Lucy :)

i have to know what day and everything that Coldplay will be on!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I WILL HAVE TO WATCH IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

but they dont broadcast splendour on tv..........

 

triple j will have a bit of it.

Guys this might sound a little stupid, but why is everyone saying they would rather wait a year to see Coldplay? I know they are releasing a new album this year, but does that mean a definite 2012 Australia tour for the album too?

I'd rather pay $~150 to see Coldplay at their own show next year than $500 to see them and only three other bands I like at a festival.

It's not 100% confirmed they'll be returning next year but it'd be very surprising if they're not back before the end of next year. It doesn't take -that- long to tour the rest of the world.

I don't think a new album release this year means a definite tour of Australia in 2012 -- I'm more thinking they'll be back here in 2013; between travelling the world over and the mini-breaks they'll take, I think that would be a more accurate assumption.

Nonetheless, an Australian tour is pretty much guaranteed. Unless the PM bans them or something :P

 

And I'm just gonna wait for them to come nearer to where I live... who knows, maybe they'll headline Big Day Out next year or something.

if i have to wait 2 or 3 years for then to come back to Australia I'm gonna cry

I know, right!? The hardest thing is the wait. I'm really, really excited to see them in July. Woo!

:O I'm not allowed to go :'(

Awww. What a bummer! That sucks. But hey, they'll be here soon enough. At least now you have the time to save the money it'll take to go to all their shows. :)

Yeah, Im in London for 2 months next year so I hope they are there when I am

Last time Coldplay were in my home state, I went to all of their shows, and I kind of promised myself that the next time they come out to Australia, I'll follow them around the country, then the time after that, go see them internationally.

 

So that would be great, if it worked out you were able to see them while you're over there.

Do you remember Sound Relief in Sydney???

 

Well all my friends went to that and they were chasing Chris during Fix You :D

 

The part where Chris is kinda stuck in the crowd......... My bestie grabbed him ...........
