September 9, 201114 yr So,we got 14 new songs and i`m glad that i`m not a member of the Band because iam pretty sure it will be a hard and difficult choice for them to make a setlist for the upcoming tour...may we have to say goodbye to a few songs,we love a lot... Whats your opinion ?
September 9, 201114 yr It's not too difficult, just be sure to leave off any songs that have "teardrop" and "waterfall" in the same title. :wink:
September 9, 201114 yr It's hard when you consider they would be cutting some great songs, but easy when you consider they have a large library of songs to choose from. What i'm trying to say is no matter what they do, there will always be a guy in a forum complaining about something....
September 9, 201114 yr It's not too difficult, just be sure to leave off any songs that have "teardrop" and "waterfall" in the same title. :wink: That would be a shame in my honest opinion. So, you can see that there will be always some people who aren't satisfied with the setlist. ;)
September 9, 201114 yr 90% of their songs are amazing, gotta take out some of the good things and add better? :/
September 9, 201114 yr Why not have a million shows, and they play every recorded coldplay song? ohhhh, 9 hour concert anyone?
September 10, 201114 yr The whole point of doing a new tour is to promote their new album. That means they'll play a large number of songs from MX rather than old songs. There's no way they'll leave The Scientist, Yellow, Viva La Vida and Fix You off the setlist. They'll probably leave the new version of GPASUYF in too.
September 10, 201114 yr This is a good point but it is a Mylo Xyloto Tour so if classics like Yellow, Fix You, Viva La Vida have to miss out then so be it, they are all played at every other appearance anyway and it will be nice for the band to do something different other than the same old formula!!
September 10, 201114 yr I forgot all about Under1Roof!!! We still don't know what it is, at least it definitley isn't a song title!!!
September 10, 201114 yr I am pretty sure they knew what songs to include. The big question was in what order, whether that was going to be a happy or sad ending. I am happy the guys put so much thought in the track list and its order. I really appreciate it when I listen, as then I am more inclined to listen to the whole album in one go from start to finish
September 10, 201114 yr I was waiting until the track list got announced to make a proper set list but I think this is what they might play. But of course not in this order Yellow In my place The Scientist Clocks God put a smile upon your face Fix You Viva La Vida Lost Life in Technicolor II Lovers in Japan Strawberry Swing Paradise Every teardrop is a Waterfall Hurts like heaven Charlie Brown Us against the world Mylo Xyloto Major Minus Up in Flames UFO UP WITH THE BIRDS Don't let it break your heart Princess of China A hopeful transmission M.M.I.X It's 25 songs, that's the amount they played during the viva la vida tour including encores.

I don't think they'll play LiTII, and probably not Strawberry Swing, but other than that, I think this seems pretty reasonable.
September 10, 201114 yr LiTII is one of my favorite songs live. I missed Coldplay in 2009 when they came to my city, cause I was stupid and I didn't want to go alone to a concert. (biggest mistake of my life) So i'm just hoping I'll get to hear it live at least once :/
September 10, 201114 yr Well, they can play in every country 5 shows and play the entire albums on each one..
September 10, 201114 yr I know this is a crazy idea... But why don't they try mixing their set lists up for once?? Like keep HLH for the opener and leave Teardrop as the closer (I know Chris loves it in that spot) and keep certain songs in, but why not have a few slots that they can play around with? Throw Sparks, Green Eyes, Warning Sign, A Message, Swallowed In The Sea, Lovers In Japan, Chinese Sleep Chant and maybe even older songs in to make every concert unique. They should play the hits for the average concert goer but not every song they play has to be a #1 hit single.. they have an incredible back catalogue and they should use it!!

They should play the hits for the average concert goer but not every song they play has to be a #1 hit single.. they have an incredible back catalogue and they should use it!! I guess it comes down to two things. 1- They are going to play the songs they like playing best live and those that fit within the setlist 2- I think they don´t want to disappoint any audience and want to offer the big hits to every concert goer, so that everyone gets the same experience of the best Coldplay has to offer That said, I do agree with you: their back catalogue is incredible!
