Brent Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Looks like that gap of non-Coldplay in September is closing! ClearChannel has announced that they will be having a two-day live streaming event, and Coldplay will be one of the headliners. A schedule has not been released yet. It's in Las Vegas at the MGM Grand. I think this was JUST announced, so there's not many outlets reporting. But I found this, among others, and Coldplay are on the list: http://ohnotheydidnt.livejournal.com/60905375.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
busybeeburns Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 ^ thanks for the info! ------------------ EXCLUSIVE: Iheartradio Event Unveiled As lady luck would have it we’ve been scouring the internet, our ninjas and sources to get the good word on what is happening with Iheartradio, Clearchannel and this big announcement on Monday morning at 8:15am by none other than Ryan Seacrest. Well here it is folks, as promised IHeartradio and ClearChannel are throwing the biggest concert of our current lifetime. It’s the Iheartradio Music Festival and it’s happening September 23-24th in Las Vegas, NV at the MGM Grand. Here are the artists already playing: Kenny Chesney, Rascall Flatts, Carrie Underwood, Kelly Clarkson, Lady GaGa, Coldplay, John Mayer, Jennifer Lopez, Black Eyed Peas, Alicia Keys, Niki Minaj, David Guetta, Bruno Mars, Usher Iheartradio is also going to announce some major changes. You’ll still be able to listen to your favorite Clear Channel Radio Stations but you’ll also have a more Pandora like radio interface.

Kroket Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Wow, this reminds me: last year Sept 23 and 24 I actually was staying at the MGM. Not this year though :( But great news for people in Vegas and the ones planning to go :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
busybeeburns Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 How easy would it be for Coldplay's entourage and equip to get from Vegas (23rd) to the Music Midwest festival in Atlanta (24th) in a day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mimixxx Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 They probably have two sets of the major equipment, in Arras the stage was completely set up with all the Coldplay lights, screens, lasers, circular visuals before we got in at noon (and hidden by a black curtain) and they'd been in Belgium the night before, which isn't a million miles away but far enough for there not to be enough time to get it all down at midnight the previous night and back up again by noon the next day. Edit: Actually screw that I just looked up the distance between the two festivals and the driving time is only 2 hours :lol: It works for T in the Park and Oxegen though :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

littlewhiteshadow Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 All the closer to California :). The boys should know it's a quick hour's flight from San Francisco to Vegas. Just sayin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinFan Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Pretty easy for them to make the Atlanta festival. The flight would be about 5 hours and change non stop, and as Mich said, they most likely would have their main set already at Atlanta's festival, and MGM would have not so big of their set-up.

MartinFan Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Arrrrg!!!!:thinking: Atlanta is an 8 hour drive, and it's a festival setting which I'm not into. Vegas is 6 hour flight, plus, hotel and car..............must investigate this more!!:\ It's my hubbys BD on the 22nd, so I must work on him, he already said that would be a great BD present:sneaky: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have been lucky before! And the $289 are the highest priced tux, there are $45 available, upper level behind the stage. No thanks!!! But yeah, $289 for one night is crazy.

wingzer0 Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Has anyone seen the presale for this event? If you like iHeartRadio on their facebook fanpage, you can get tickets in advance. The presale ends on July16th. You can't get to the presale unless you like their page. If you're interested click on the link! :) https://www.facebook.com/iheartradio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l0wxo2 Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 I'm going and was really hoping to being on the floor but $289 for one ticket is too extreme. Still can't believe they are finally bringing a music festival to Vegas and my favorite band is headlining it :dazzled::dazzled: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iduran20 Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 :wreck: They're really expensive...and it'll be on a school day. :\ ahhh...I really want to go though. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l0wxo2 Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 So typical of Vegas for tickets to be that expensive, doesn't surprise me at all.... EDIT: Guess I should rephrase that. I meant it's typical for shows like this to come out to Vegas and be this expensive. It happens a lot. Regardless, I will probably still go.

Still can't believe they are finally bringing a music festival to Vegas and my favorite band is headlining it :dazzled::dazzled: I've decided not to go :(. Tix are expensive, and the show doesn't even start until 7:30. With the huge lineup, how long will Coldplay actually play? I'm thinking they may only play 5-6 songs, definitely not a full set. If I loved all the other bands, it might be worth it to me, but I don't...have a great time if you go :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l0wxo2 Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Thanks! I'm still gonna go because I live here but I won't have tickets close to the stage :cry: I am already seeing them in Chicago and Austin, so I really can't complain. The Vegas crowd isn't the best though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
