The gig was awesome. Do anybody know when they are sending it in tv?

 

 

Glad that you had a good experience. Let us know more.

 

As to TV, the Norwegian newspaper wrote that the Coldplay concert will be televised in all Nordic countries at Christmas (but that is still vague).

 

I read (around the originally planned concert that was cancelled) that in Denmark TV2 ZULU will show the concert "later this year".

 

So likely between 22 and 27 in Denmark from TV2 Zulu.

Photos from yesterday's Oslo show

We took some snaps as Coldplay performed for Nordic fans

Good morning. Yesterday, we went along to see Coldplay perform a Nordic album launch show in Oslo, Norway. Naturally, we took some snaps...

Hello and welcome to the Sentrum Scene in Oslo, where Coldplay will perform at 3.45pm, by which time it will already be dark

Chris and Jonny head onto the stage for a look at the venue before doors open

 

oslocp3.jpg

Will joins them and they pull faces. Not exactly sure why

Chris graffiti'd piano

The view from the mic. Sentrum Scene has a capacity of around 500. It is, therefore, "intimate"

 

oslocp6.jpg

Will has a little bash on his drums, while Bash checks his cymbal

 

oslocp7.jpg

There are probably some really cryptic messages in here

 

oslocp8.jpg

The front row arrives, they're very pleased, and we celebrate by taking a terrible photo

 

oslocp9.jpg

The Viva bell, fully MXified

 

oslocp10.jpg

And so to the dressing room...

The dressing room

 

oslocp11.jpg

The band have a quick warm-up before the show

 

oslocp12.jpg

 

oslocp13.jpg

 

oslocp15.jpg

Then it's time for the traditional pre-show huddle

 

oslocp16.jpg

And the post-huddle thing where they all throw their hands into the air

 

oslocp17.jpg

Standing by the door to the stage

 

oslocp18.jpg

After you, Mr Martin

 

oslocp19.jpg

 

oslocp22.jpg

The show was being filmed for broadcast on TV in Scandinavia, so there was no photographers' pit to stand in (yes, we're getting excuses in early for these live pictures...)

 

oslocp24.jpg

oslocp26.jpg

 

oslocp27.jpg

 

oslocp28.jpg

The view from where Jonny's guitar tech, Matt McGinn, stands

 

oslocp29.jpg

Pretty sure that's a mid-drumming face

 

oslocp30.jpg

At this point we decide to go and take some pictures from the balcony, which involves having to leave the venue by a side door and walk around the side to the front entrance

 

oslocp32.jpg

The cloakroom gives you an idea of the temperature in Oslo (brrrrr)

 

oslocp33.jpg

The view from the balcony. No, you're right, it wasn't really worth the walk

 

oslocp34.jpg

That's quite an angle Chris has got himself into

 

oslocp35.jpg

Viva from the balcony

 

oslocp36.jpg

Back at the front (again, having wandered around outside for a bit)

 

oslocp37.jpg

We'll let those of you in Norway, Sweden, Finland and Denmark know when the show is being broadcast

 

oslocp38.jpg

The front row, having a lovely time

 

oslocp39.jpg

There are an awful lot of corridors at Sentrum Scene. A monster apparently lives at the end of this one

 

oslocp40.jpg

And you thought backstage was glamourous (that's the door to the stage again)

 

oslocp42.jpg

Oslo gives a mighty roar of approval as the band finish what's been a rollicking, hour-long set

 

oslocp14.jpg

Here's what they played

 

oslocp43.jpg

It might be cold outside, but as you'll gather it's pretty blooming hot inside

 

oslocp44.jpg

Careful Jonny, there's a monster down there

 

oslocp45.jpg

After the show, the band do a few filmed interviews for the various Nordic TV stations which will be broadcasting the gig. This one was, we're told, based on Twitter and was quite amusing...

 

oslocp47.jpg

It's time to head home, but first the band sign some autographs for the folks who've waited in the cold and helped make it an extremely enjoyable visit for Coldplay

Rania, I'm sad I couldn't be there with you. I hope and believe my choice will benefit me in the long term. I hope I'll get an opportunity like this later.

I'm so happy you got the chance to go, though! :hug:

Thank you so much, Nancy!
