I love the sight of a no longer empty Live section on Coldplay.com :wacky:

 

Wow, very excited! Hope you all get some tickets! :-)

I predict the ticket costs will be £55 before various fees.

 

*hopes to get tickets*

David Brent to team up with Coldplay for Under 1 Roof charity gig

 

 

David Brent’s music career is going from strength-to-strength with The Office star set to perform with Coldplay.

 

 

Ricky Gervais will be joining Coldplay at the Under 1 Roof gig on Thursday, December 19 as David Brent.

 

 

Brent will be playing with his band Foregone Conclusion while Lily Allen, Dynamo and Rizzle Kicks will also be performing on the night.

 

 

The show is being staged to raise money for the charity Kids Company with Coldplay also donating instruments and stage outfits used during their Mylo Xyloto world tour to be auctioned on eBay.

 

 

Coldplay frontman Chris Martin said: ‘Buying a ticket to this concert will guarantee two things: a totally unique never-to-be-repeated night of star-spangled entertainment, and money in the Christmas coffers of a charity that brings love and happiness to London’s most vulnerable kids.’

 

 

Tickets go on sale this Thursday (November 14) at 9am from the Gigs And Tours and Eventim Apollo websites.

I hope they bring in some anti-touting measures, such as having it ticketless (show your payment card & booking reference to get in).

I hope Mr Gervais will com on stage and sing with coldplay on Lost or something, take JAy Z part or something hahaa :D

Gallery primed and ready

Coldplay have been confirmed for a charity gig in London with support from Ricky Gervais as David Brent and Foregone Conclusion.

 

Also performing at the Under 1 Roof concert at London's Hammersmith Eventim Apollo are Lily Allen, Dynamo and Rizzle Kicks.

 

Coldplay frontman Chris Martin said: "Buying a ticket to this concert will guarantee two things: a totally unique never-to-be-repeated night of star-spangled entertainment, and money in the Christmas coffers of a charity that brings love and happiness to London's most vulnerable kids."

 

Fearne Cotton will host the evening, which is raising money for Kids Company - a charity which works with vulnerable children and young people in London and Bristol.

 

Coldplay headlined the first U1R concert in 2011 at London's O2 with support from Steve Coogan as Alan Partridge, Tinie Tempah, Rob Brydon and Emeli Sandé, raising over £400,000.

Tickets go on sale this Thursday, November 14 at 9am.

 

Instruments and outfits from the band's Mylo Xyloto world tour will also be auctioned via eBay for Kids Company.

 

The charity's founder Camila Batmanghelidjh said: "When you feel happy your heart flips - Coldplay have made thousands of children's heart flip not just through their music but through their kindness and support.

 

"The concert will bring together some incredible talent under one roof to help some incredibly courageous, vulnerable children who are surviving their childhood so that they might have a brighter future."

:thumbsup:

So is this going to be a hinting at LP6 era or just a random era?

I reckon it will be a mixed era set-list, maybe a "greatest" hits style set.

They better play Christmas Lights.

^ That would be nice.

Well, I guess it wouldn't make sense not to play it :D

I hope they bring in some anti-touting measures, such as having it ticketless (show your payment card & booking reference to get in).

 

Me too. I am so desperately hoping to get tickets to this. I remember the stress off trying to get tickets to the Emirates and the Little Noises. If they are all gone in the first 20 seconds, it's got to be touts, hasn't it?

 

 

They better play Christmas Lights.

 

:nod: Oh god that would be amazing. Hyperventilates ...

Christmas Lights, Atlas (as a band), Moving to Mars, and unheard material from LP6? :D

All gone in 20 seconds, but available on secondary ticket sites = professional ticket touts, insiders buying tickets for themselves to sell at a mark-up or promoters hoping for extra cash.

Brillant news! Are the silver package tickets really over £500 . Wonder what the chances are of getting a ticket! :)

Hoping they play Christmas Lights, Atlas and maybe...maybe something from LP6. That would make a great Christmas prezzy!:-)

How long do you guys reckon their set list will be, given there are other acts on the bill?

They played 16 songs in 2011 so probably something like that.

I live in the UK. I have an exam that day, on the other end of the country, from 5pm to 7pm, yay :) :) :) :)

Good luck to anyone trying to get tickets this Thursday!

Let's hope we have Christmas Lights :D
