Captain Crieff Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Erm. It's an Israeli app.... Coldplay are pro Palestine. The concert is in China... Parachutes was (is?) banned in China I don't see why they would suddenly invest in something from Isreal to be honest and I don't really believe this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greengoose Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Gonna have to agree with my favourite Captain on this one...I just dont see this as being something they would be doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny and the cake Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 They stated multiple times to be Pro-Palestine and have never had contacts with Israel in their carreer, why now? Chris has always been quite clear with his political views (ie Bush) why stop now just for a phone app? And if im not wrong Coldplay are banned to perform in any city in China but Hong Kong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coeurli Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 I would think their involvement in such app is believable (i mean in terms of concept and all), but when it comes to this "big concert", it just sounds like wishful thinking to me. Sure, i only got a Google translation off the article, but it feels written even more like an ad than a normal, objective article. Plus, it mentions a big concert where Chinese investors would be?!?! Sounds to me like it was supposedly a private event and they're making a big thing out of it. I don't know, it all feels super weird. If it turns out to be an event resembling iTunes festival for instance, then it'd be more believable, but the way it is presented at the moment is rather confusing to me. Plus, are they even allowed to perform in Beijing? And on top of that it seems like a tricky situation to get into. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greengoose Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 The last paragraph in that Forbes article Sparky posted is the following... The app plans to launch in China over the summer, with a massive Music Messenger promotional concert tour with some of their investors. Given recent studies, music and messaging are a sure hit for the Far East. Until then, the company is gearing up for their Series B roadshow, which starts in the coming weeks. In that same article it states the following... The Series A round was overbooked as it was very sought after by people from the music community, who quickly understood the value and potential of the technology. The Series A reached $5 million from top artists in the electronic dance music (EDM) and urban communities, as well as managers and executives including: David Guetta, Tiesto, Avicii, Nicki Minaj, Sebastian Ingrosso, Dave Holmes (manager of Coldplay) So maybe Coeurli is on to something with the thoughts of some sort investor private concert that somehow isnt now so private lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Crieff Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 ^ that. Seriously why on earth would they invest in a stupid useless app? And as if that's not even enough, it's an Israeli app and they're pro Palestine April fools is early this year...

Hard to believe they'll get involved / take sides in any of that. Something does seem a little fishy about all of this, could be the newspaper not being 100% correct or the translation even.

MosesTheMarshmallow Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Why is it being an Israeli app preclusive to Coldplay supporting it? It's not like anyone who is Israeli is automatically a no-no to interact with just because you support the existence of a Palestinian state / peace in the area / etc. Also don't forget that hideous Coldplay-for-Target concert... :p So it's not unlike them to have a couple bizarre corporate moves like this one looks like it could be.
