August 4, 201114 yr This is what A just posted on coldplay.com and Facebook (and probably on Twitter) Good evening. On Friday night this week (Aug 5th), Coldplay will headline Lollapalooza festival in Chicago's Grant Park. We're very pleased to report that the show will stream live worldwide on YouTube*. The webcast can be seen at http://www.youtube.com/lollapalooza at approximately 8:30pm CT / 6:30pm PT / 2.30am UK time (click here to find out what time it is where you are). Highlights of the show will also be available afterwards. Anchorman * Apart from Germany. Sorry Germany (not our decision). Will it be the whole performance or only Coldplay ? I'd like to see also Muse that will perform too.
August 4, 201114 yr Haha go Chicago! I understand where they're coming from, they shouldn't really be using the confetti at outside venues at all....
August 4, 201114 yr Chicago also bans propane, which is used to generate sustained flames. (Aerosol-based effects can provide only short bursts of flame.) As Grega put it: "Any city that burns down tends be a little picky." :lol: Indeed... But shouldn't Chicago be banning cows instead?
August 4, 201114 yr Personally, I'm done with the confetti. It was wonderful during Lovers but, in my mind, it belongs to the Viva era and has lost it's magic.
August 4, 201114 yr No Muse will not be streamed. They are not part the Whole Performance. Just go to the Lollapalooza youtube website too see who is being streamed the rest of the day/days. Also I don't have to worry about streaming since I will be there watching them perform.
August 4, 201114 yr has anyone gone before? how early should we arrive for coldplay? Because I have side stage tickets for a band called "Foster the People" at 3 or 4. P.S. did anyone download the ipod/iphone app? The website and the app both tell me different times
August 4, 201114 yr Depends on how close you want to be. There will be a crowd building throughout the day, but you should have a decent view, no matter the time you head over. I'm not walking over till about 7. I have the app, says 8:30, site says 8:15? I'd go with the site time.
August 4, 201114 yr I've been in Chicago almost 24 hours now, and I was able to get some pretty good pictures of the set-up inside the park, although much of the park has since been closed to the public. I noticed quite a few wristband scans on the central bridge (like 30 of them) but I didn't check out the northern entrance, which is where I'd advise all you Coldplay fans to enter (mainly so that you don't have our lovely Muse crossover upon entrance). Saw the merch stands, which are split into lines for headliners and non-headliners. They were still unpacking so only the Eminem stuff was up when I walked by.
August 4, 201114 yr Im at the bean right now. I forgot my phone so i cant use the group app. What are you guys wearing. Were sitting on some steps.

August 4, 201114 yr anyone know what time the gates open? i see the first band plays at 11:30 on friday... so, when, 10?
August 5, 201114 yr So my mom "forgot" today was the day we left, and dnt know where she is. My dad also apparantly forgot and he was drinking, so at the moment im trying to figure out how to get to the airport! >:(
August 5, 201114 yr Honestly I don't know or like the Kills or Bright Eyes that much but anyone know how they are live? And will Coldplay merch be sold? Really looking forward to this. Hope I can see a few of you guys- fellow Coldplay fans at Lolla tomorrow.

August 5, 201114 yr Coldplay have arrived everyone! Just watched them land and drive off to their hotel Thanks Mike! This got me way more excited than it should have!
August 5, 201114 yr Author Thanks Mike! This got me way more excited than it should have! Oh believe me, I was going insane in my car. Screamed "CHRIS!!!" when we were at a red light next to them, Kelly got on his cell phone and we split. Cops were everywhere, it was like Barack Obama just landed:D
