Are they marking out some kind of happening, or a date when all of this occur? The picture is totally random, only to show a bit how I'm thinking. That's a good guess if you ask me. Also, there's an entire reddit thread dedicated to this 'they're coming' thing.

Personally I think the postcards are a bit far-fetched to come from Coldplay. I feel that people should be able to solve more of if it was related to Music Of The Spheres. If they haven't gone totally x-files with their clues ? It's interesting stuff though. Edited May 26, 20215 yr by Famous_Old_Painter
May 26, 20215 yr If you follow the r/TheyreComing subreddit, you'll see it's looking increasingly likely it's gaming related, and more specifically Fortnite. Some Fortnight streamers have received a DVD+ DVD player (!) with a video showing some drone shots + crop circles. And some people found one of the symbols in Fortnite: https://www.reddit.com/r/TheyreComing/comments/nl8j1z/someone_found_this_symbol_in_fortnite/ So the MOTS theories can be buried now I think. If this was Coldplay, they would not have sent those DVDs to Fortnight streamers. https://twitter.com/InTheLittleWood/status/1397535179296624642 https://twitter.com/AussieAntics/status/1397359085062819840 Off to put on my clown shoes now!
May 26, 20215 yr I'm not trying to challenge you, especially since I know you're both very smart and well-respected around here but I'm trying to understand how *I* would receive a Fortnite postcard. I've never once played the game. Not even on someone else's account just to try it. Not on my Switch or Series X, I don't game on mobile or PC at all. I've bought games in general from Amazon and eBay but I've never played an MMO either, I don't play anything free to play and I don't even play multiplayer games outside of Kart and Smash, so I don't see how I could be a target demographic. This is all very strange to me and I have a hard time believing it unless they're sending them to every person who has ever played a videogame. Not 100% on topic but if it lends more credence to the idea that the postcard is from Coldplay then maybe it'll be useful. PS I bought both my Switch and Series X second-hand so I can't see it being something directly from Nintendo or Microsoft, either. Edited May 26, 20215 yr by HowCouldIForget
May 26, 20215 yr I think we'll have to wait and see. Like the voice says when you call the number on the postcards: "There is something weird going on here".

Strange... oh well, I guess Epic Games is just experimenting with its own strange teasers. The similarity with Coldplay's teasers was just a coincidence. But why in the world did people like @HowCouldIForget get a postcard if they have never even played Fortnite before? Maybe Epic Games just figured their own game is popular enough that they could send postcards to random people who have bought games online. 6 hours ago, HowCouldIForget said: I'm not trying to challenge you, especially since I know you're both very smart and well-respected around here but I'm trying to understand how *I* would receive a Fortnite postcard.

Yeah I find it strange to send them to random people whoever is doing the advertising ?
May 27, 20215 yr If it's a collaboration of some sort then some of the addresses could also have been pulled from the Coldplay store. Fortnite has hosted a few music events over the last couple of years already, e.g. Ava Max launched her album on the platform last year and BTS premiered a music video on there too. A few concerts have also taken place. These collabs are very lucrative, I read that Travis Scott earned $20million from his Fortnite concert! Something else I came across when looking for a connection between Fortnite and Coldplay is the Sensorium Galaxy, which is supposed to launch in Q2 2021. Chris Martin, as co-owner of Tidal, has invested in this and Epic Games are involved in this new platform as well. Even if it turns out that the posters and postcards have nothing to do with either of these I now believe that in future such collabs are likely to happen.

May 28, 20215 yr https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000wdqr They've listed the songs that are going to be played for the Big Weekend. Music of the Spheres is definitely a song itself.
May 28, 20215 yr 8 minutes ago, IcebatofvalikinRRBZ8 said: When will we be able to watch? I'm not too sure, that might have just been audio broadcast. There's something called a watchalong (https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000wj5f) that hasn't yet aired. I'm so annoyed as I wanted to listen to the broadcast Live, but stuffed up the date/time it was broadcast while trying to convert to my local timezone.
May 28, 20215 yr Personally think we've already heard Music of the Spheres. My guess is that it's the intro song with the robotic voice from their Glasto performance.
