Live blog from the Emirates on Saturday

30 May 2012 12:58 pm

Join us for another live photoblog

 

 

Good afternoon. On Saturday, we'll be heading to the Emirates Stadium in London to spend the day blogging from backstage at the second of Coldplay's shows at Arsenal FC's home. Join us from early on Saturday afternoon for lots of behind-the-scenes build-up and photos and then updates during the show itself.

 

Click here to see a slideshow of images from the set-up of the stage, on Arsenal's website. And if you haven't seen one of our live photoblogs before, click here to see the one from the band's last big London stadium show, at Wembley in 2009.

Kind of bummed I won't be there to F5 abuse... But being there will probably be better.

You will be able to follow the action before during and after the gig, courtesy of the Coldplay.com website. It's great.. I am kinda sad I won't be able to follow it.. because I WILL BE THERE TOO!

yayyyyy i love liveblogs :D:dance:

Thank you, Comicforce !!!!!! and which I can watch the concert live from coldplay.com , that's great!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not watch it.. no, but they will blog about it.. ie write about all the comings and goings and take photos and such. :D it's usually really fun. Specially if you join the live thread and talk to everyone at the same time.

As mentioned in the anchorman's post, you can check this Wembley blog to have an idea about it.

The live blog has started :)

 

13.34: As promised, a big hello to the first person to tweet us using the #coldplayblog hashtage. And that was Sarah Pring, who's actually coming to the show tonight. Have a good 'un Sarah!

 

13.32: Here's a rather blurry photo of the nearest tube station to the Emirates, Arsenal tube. The station was originally named Gillespie Road, but was renamed in 1932 after Arsenal Football Club, who played nearby (at Highbury, which was a stone's throw from the Emirates, where they now play). It is the only Tube station named directly after a football club.

 

 

13.29: Did you check out the terrific pictures which Roadie #42 blogged this morning, from the last few stadium shows? Well worth a look, here.

 

13.23: Hello and welcome to our live blog from the Emirates Stadium in London, where Coldplay will today play the second of three sold out shows. If you'd like to get in touch with us during the blog - which will continue right up until after tonight's gig - then send us a tweet using the hashtage #coldplayblog (we'll be keeping an eye on them). We'll say a big hello to the very first person to send one...

ah, it's started! Great :D

13:41: And here's a picture of the outside of the Emirates Stadium, which Arsenal moved to for the start of the 2006 football season (for those of you who don't follow football/soccer Arsenal are one of the biggest, best-supported teams in England).

 

 

edit: nice, my 1000th post is dedicated to a football stadium :lol:
