JUNE

Even if it was a quiet year, June had a couple of things going on…

 

 

June 2nd: Will makes a (brief) appearance in Game Of Thrones

After waiting for around seven months, we were finally able to see Mr Will Champion make a quick cameo in the infamous Red Wedding. The episode called ‘The Rains of Castamere’ had our favourite drummer, even if it was for just a few seconds, doing what he does best: drumming. :will:

June 6th: Chris performs at the Ormeley Dinner

A very sharp-looking Chris Martin performed in the Ormeley Dinner in London (it is one of Europe’s most important environmental and conservation charity dinners)… but he wasn’t alone, Davide Rossi was onstage as well.

They played a couple of Coldplay songs (Paradise, Fix You) and some covers:

Here we have Viva La Vida:

Two years later, Coldplay’s 2011 appearance on Glastonbury was named the number 1 Glastonbury moment by BBC radio listeners. The shortlist was compiled by various BBC radio personalities and Coldplay headlining the pyramid stage was chosen by Jo Whiley who said that she: “could not be happier for them. It was the perfect pyramid headline set.”

 

Radio listeners voted and the top 5 are:

1.- Coldplay headline the Pyramid Stage, 2011

2.- Radiohead headline the Pyramid Stage, 2003

3.- Blur headline the Pyramid Stage, 2009

4.- Bruce Springsteen performs Thunder Road on the Pyramid Stage, 2009

5.- Elbow perform on the Pyramid stage, 2011

As it was previously announced, Coldplay won the Best British Act award and Jonny and Chris were there to pick it up. Here’s the video of the thank you speech (or a more accurate description would be him complaining about why Nick McCabe and Simon Jones, the presenters of the award, are not still in The Verve :lol:).

Chris also presented the Lifetime Achievement award to Barry Gibb.

A lot of Bakery & Beehive encounters with the band

Coldplay kept working on LP6 during this month, which resulted in a lot of fans encountering them outside the studio. As expected we didn’t get a lot information about LP6 except the usual “it’s coming on very good”, but we got some lovely photos and stories. If you want to read (or re-read) them, the June stories start here on the Bakery thread :nice:

 

 

… years ago today

Two years ago today ETIAW was released (June 3rd)

Eight years ago today X&Y was released (June 6th)

Five years ago today VLVODAAHF was released (June 12th)

Two years ago today Coldplay headlined the Pyramid Stage (June 25th)

 

 

Bonus: a shout-out to Coldplay in The Killers’ Wembley Song. 6_zps35384e06.png

On June 22nd The Killers played at Wembley Stadium where they performed a new song called ‘Wembley Song’ in which they mention a lot of bands that had previously played there. When Coldplay was mentioned a photo of Chris and Guy appeared on the screen.

Even if the were referred to as “Viva La Vida”, we know they are good friends:

A couple of days later Phil responded on twitter saying
