June 1, 201115 yr Apparently there was a friends and family gig last night for 150 people. A friend of a friend went. Im trying to get more info/pics and will update if I get more info.
June 1, 201115 yr They are not being secretive...it's just a small, private gig. Just like a dinner party or something. I'm sure Chris and Gwyneth hold dinner parties but I'm sure they are not going to publicise it every time they do. ;)
June 1, 201115 yr Dinner party for 150 people? Definitely, a small, private gig. 3 years ago such gig was announced and we got photo and tracklist. Something really weird is going on there.
June 1, 201115 yr They did the same with VLV before it was released - gave friends and family a preview :nice:

June 1, 201115 yr Hello all. My sources inform me that it was held at the Forum, Kentish Town. About 150 people in attendance as stated earlier. 7 new songs played along with Yellow, In My Place, God put a smile, Scientist, Clocks, Fix You, Lost, Cemeteries, Viva La Vida. They finished with Every Teardrop. No advertising anywhere, maybe some competition winners perhaps aswell?

June 1, 201115 yr What was the reaction to the new songs? Edith Bowman tweeted this: So i saw this band tonight, they're playing a few festivals this year. Can't say anymore except, 'you are in for a treat.' https://twitter.com/#!/edibow/status/75662574338838528
June 1, 201115 yr Well playing 7 new songs at festivals (I'm assuming here they did a run through of Friday's setlist) is a risky move...so I guess the other songs they play have gotta be the big singalongs everyone knows, which Fix You is.
June 1, 201115 yr What was the reaction to the new songs? Very positive I'm led to believe. My friend wasn't able to get hold of the set-list that was onstage, so cannot be sure of any names of the new songs - aside from the single. One track I'm told though did stand out as a fast and loud number, featuring a repeated line "I've got one eye on the wall and one on you".... I'll post anything more that I find out.
June 1, 201115 yr SEVEN new songs? if that is true, the album is so gonna drop earlier than October - July the latest!
June 1, 201115 yr Sorry guys, I can't say how they got in, but apprently everyone was politely told before the gig to turn their phones off and refrain from taking any photos. My friend tells me it was amazing not to see anyone holding up a camera or phone filming the concert, as you're so used to it at most gigs these days. They did take a camera along I'm told, but once they were given that instruction they probably didn't want to risk being thrown out! :)
June 1, 201115 yr Oh,man..This is awesome. Thank you Coldplay747 :) And what is the general sound/atmosphere of the new songs?
June 1, 201115 yr No worries, I thought as much. From Twitter: johnnyminkley Oh man, this secret Coldplay gig in London people are going on about sounds like it was amazing. Looks like he follows someone who was there, but that person has protected tweets. Boo :P
June 1, 201115 yr Ok, that's clever. So what about the music? How was it? What direction or style? More piano or acoustic guitar? How the stage look? Etc.
