The remaining acts will be announced as the week progresses. Though, with the iHeart Radio Festival and Global Citizen Festival right smack between these ten days, will Coldplay still be free to play a gig here?

Brook Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 I think it's even more unlikely Coldplay will play at this festival considering that Apple Music is direct contenders to Tidal. And also, like you said, the iHeart Radio Festival and Global Citizen Festival is also close by. I'm hoping they do though! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atlas2000 Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 I think they will, the band have already had a good relationship with Apple plus they have a relationship with one of the main hosts Zane Lowe, I have a feeling they could be playing at this because it is basically the iTunes Music Festival with the same name!!

Well the iHeart Radio fest. is on the 17-18 Coldplay are on the 18th, Global Citizen event is on the 26th so that leaves the 19th-28th bar the 26th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a2iel Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Fingers crossed.. But this would be the longest set they'd play around these dates if they do.. Both iHeart and Global fest sets sound like they'll be tiny sets, no idea why they're doing it this way, they are due a full on return.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thefox Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Well, they do have a great relationship with Apple.. But they're also very much like Apple. If they (or something relevant to it's production) aren't ready yet, they won't do anything until it's the proper time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jc90 Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Since the multi quote is broken, i'll respond to all the above replies at once. I wouldn't count Coldplay out quite yet given their relationship with Apple as pointed out already. The only thing is if there's a scheduling conflict. iHeart is actually 18+19 not 17+18, but yes, coldplay are due for the 18th (just a technical thing I wanted to clear up, atlas2000), and Global Citizen is 26th. So, theres a window in between unless another act already nabbed it. Also, it appears iHeartRadio will be a mini set, but as far as I can see, Global Citizen has 4 acts in 7 hours, unless I can't see that they have an opener or something.

Chris did say on twitter, they are playing a short set and the other 3 acts are the headliners.. My best guess is they'll play the same short set at both citizen and iHeart fest..

42Escapist Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 I think they will, the band have already had a good relationship with Apple plus they have a relationship with one of the main hosts Zane Lowe, I have a feeling they could be playing at this because it is basically the iTunes Music Festival with the same name!! That's right! Apple used Viva La Vida back in 2008 and the band played at the Steve Jobs memorial service. If they aren't sure whether they should join, Zane Lowe could probably convince them to play! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BiggerStronger Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 The Weeknd, Chemical Brothers and Take That were just announced as headliners. So this leaves 3 more nights for Coldplay... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
