yoyo2000 Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 I also think the moon and sun are just part of the artwork like the flower of life was on AHFOD. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gai Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 I was half expecting an announcement, a teaser or something for 9 PDT. Looks like not happening. Maybe something at midnight EST? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldplaykb Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 My guess is an announcement tomorrow that will tell us album release date, tracklisting, pre-order, and single release date (which will be next Friday). 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yanksrock1000 Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 This is so exciting. I love how the November poster is just popping up around the world. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I ran away Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 Wow, getting on here to read of all the wonderful news developments ! The new symbol looks decidedly oriental. And that source code is so intriguing - why only Chris and Guy though ? Is this the first Coldplay album where some tracks have been written by half the band only (remember Conscious Pilot only being by Jonny and Will) ? What if the "Wedding Band" on the poster points towards this music being a marriage of East and West, the Orient and the Occident ? It all makes sense now that they hired a cultural advisor for the Middle East. They probably wanted to make sure not to step on anyone's foot with their release. I wonder if 'Le Trio Joubran', that Palestinian band Chris was seen with, is gonna be a collaboration. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a2iel Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 I also think the moon and sun are just part of the artwork like the flower of life was on AHFOD. Yeah, hopefully! So that way we haven't even sen the complete artwork then! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coldplayer1964 Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 This is Can we just talk about how exciting this all is hahah. It has been four years since AHFOD although to me it feels like last year! I haven't seen this amount of people on the site in years. Thank you all for your continued support :D This is so exciting!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoyo2000 Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 That source code seems weird to me, because yesterday I got an SMS from my mobile network provider about a contest winning tickets for Jordan! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miha Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 Don't forget Chris had visited Jerusalem many times - Jordan is not far away, Ammam is actually close to Jerusalem. Surely innovative ways of going live this time, with perhaps smaller venues as well. Can't imagine them just doing stadium tour. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LelieJens Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 I just posted this on Twitter: Great spot! I think we might be able to expect something around the time when the videos went black & white (just 24 hours later). Could be nothing though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jc90 Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 Good one, now that you mention it, I do remember it. I thought it had something to do with Turkey (the country's flag). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jc90 Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 And iunno about the rest of you, but I kinda want to be teased a bit more. The journey will hopefully be as good as the destination. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yess... this fits very well with the rumors so far.... political backround with this album... experimental... Not a big Tour... they will Tour the next album that comes 2020... this makes sense now... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoyo2000 Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 Well everyone should check this one: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_and_crescent The star and crescent is a symbol that crosses time and cultures. It was most commonly used by the Ottoman Empire and now modern Turkey. But, generally it is very popular today in Islamic countries (see the flags of Turkey, Algeria, Azerbaijan, Malaysia, Pakistan and Tunisia). The most similar to Coldplay's design is this Byzantine one: 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miha Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 The sun and the moon, It has to be some kind of recurrent theme for Coldplay as well. It's like this chapter is the first new one after their "previous" career. This might be the ultimate exploration of what Brian Eno intended for them to do in the first place. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shred Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 The sun and moon images gives me a different vibe to the posters. One is more Arabic/middle eastern while the other is a 1920s swing band. I’m scratching my head as to how these two are linked. Lol 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrimas4 Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 do you think the time (not only the date) of the post is also relevant? EDIT: would be midday (12:00) in Britain 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
