No, it was in the right order before. Maybe this only means they're adding some lyrics (like flags) or doing some more interesting changes in the website??

You need to go to "Music" in the menu, then to "songs"

Angel Lopez was an assistant producer for EL, right? Might just be listening to good music but both this and Violet Hill from the same album? It might be him listening to older Brian Eno/Coldplay songs, maybe a sign of the new album? He also posted Blackbird on his stories too, so I don't know.

Wow! 'FFTF + 2024' it's a huge thing!

Makes perfect sense in terms of trying to be more and more environment-conscious especially on tour while also supporting a worthwhile cause.

Nice find! This could well be possible. Which is also interesting is that one of the members of this network is Oxfam.

Yo you could have at least referenced my original twitter post. but ill forgive you. There is more to it. Yes Oxfam is one of the partnering charities. But also Dave Holmes statement (after Chris told the media they wouldn't tour until it was environmentally beneficial) is also insightful:
 

- As Chris has said, we have become increasingly mindful of our touring’s impact on the planet. We started making significant plans to improve this scenario while we were still on the road in 2017. For the last couple of years, we’ve been meeting with environmental organizations and charities with the ultimate goal of making our touring footprint carbon neutral. These plans factor in the footprint generated by our fans’ travel requirements—which we hope to reduce through subsidized public transport and ride-sharing schemes. We also plan to invest in environmental projects that go well beyond carbon offsetting. - Pitchfork, 2019. 

FFTF seems to be all about preserving heritage sites and making sure they are fit for the future. Note Coldplay played their show in heritage sites in Jordan and in London & arguably a heritage site with their show in LA.

Beyond the fact that the "_____ For The Future" sufix was the most likely answer (in my case, my theory was always "Flight For The Future" with a NASA Mars-centric concept for the next LP9 release, syncing the release with the mission milestone), I start to realize that there is no relation between the two pages in the EL Album Booklet.

FTFF2024 is, with no doubt, the "Fit for The Future", and the moment where our dear Coldplay will have an offer for touring with no environment impact. Nothing more. 

And the "Coldplay Coming Soon" with "Music of The Spheres" is another history, with no link at all with FTFF2024 (except eventually the touring factor of course). 

There will be a release quite soon (the posts in Instagram on specific positions for VLV songs are far to be coincidences), but the FTFF2024 was always a separated concept.

I’m starting to think that the “bugged” music section is intentional, if it was a malfunction they would’ve fix it by now. I don’t think their team is simply ignoring this bug

Pardon my ignorance but which “bugged” music section are you referring to?

I agree, if it was an error they would have already solved it. maybe we'll have some more clue after the grammys

Well, I guess FFTF2024 is probably unrelated to Music of the Spheres. It was just a little easter egg for a new environmental and charitable initiative that the band is probably involved with. And it goes along with their commitment to make future touring more environmentally friendly.

They might not even know about it yet. Their website design is maintained by a design agency called Rabbit Hole and they probably aren't aware of this.

Great find! this seems like the most likely explanation for the FFTF2024 in the booklet. Maybe it's an action plan from this initiative setting a goal for 2024, or maybe Coldplay have committed to make their tours environmentally beneficial (i.e. actively improving the environmental situation, rather than just having no effect) by 2024.

Yeah I agree that the FFTF2024 is a completely separate thing from MOTS. As mentioned, I think it's Coldplay's goal to have an environment friendly tour by 2024. Very interesting! I still think we are getting a project of new/reworked material sometime this year.

Now that a Coldplay-connected person is posting these things, a new read: The 0:57 of Death and All His Friends mentions "So come over, just be patient and don't worry" (nothing more appropiate with all our anxiety for LP9!). 

And 1,36 for Violet Hill, could be just the day of the year when we will have something: Day 136 --> 16/May. I don't know, but it seems a reasonable (closed) date for something. 

It never cease to amaze me how creatives we are when we're waiting for a new release or material lol

Indeed! I'm also wondering if Coldplay ever read all of this fan speculation (maybe they're laughing at us right now?), as Phil once said on Twitter something like he's been a fan of Coldplaying since the beginning....
