Why are you all sure that there's an EP in the first place? 

We´re not sure at all, it´s just a mix of speculations, free time and how much we want to listen to new Coldplay songs.

Exactly 😜

Big news!!! Chris performed at a Global Citizen event in Paris yesterday, and according to a Reddit user told the audience that LP11 is currently being recorded. That could mean we get a late 2026 / early 27 release...

I do, but I'm charging $5000 for it. 

??¡¡¿¿

I'm genuinely curious how many We Pray remixes are still in the vault 

I know for a fact there's at least one they somehow had the self-restraint not to release. Although there's still time

What is the 'one remix' you are referring to?

Today I saw that Paris MMX, an artist who is working with Coldplay, posted a story on Instagram that caught my attention. It said "Winter Solstice T minus 1."
According to ChatGPT, tomorrow is the shortest day and longest night, and there is one day left until that. 
In addition to the text, there were illustrations that are very similar to Coldplay.
Also, according to ChatGPT, it seems that what it says above is in a new language that AI was able to find, angeltorium, and it says the name of the song something like that. I don't want to sound crazy, but maybe the same thing will happen as with Everyday Life Flags!
Since today is its 5th anniversary.

Does anyone know which version of Weirdo will be used for LP11, or if it will even be used at all?

My assumption based on their history it's gonna be a new version, they always have demos and play around with it but final version is always different, look at Good Feelings and The Race for example

Nothing will sound like peak Oldplay ever again because Oldplay died in 2011. Also consider Chris’ voice has matured considerably and does not sound anything quite like pre-2011 imo. 
They may return to those styles as part of a summary of their discography allegedly being the theme of LP12, but it certainly won’t be full on indie rock like some here mistakenly assume. At this point don’t expect anything, otherwise you’re bound to be disappointed. 

 

The fact we have songs like Oceans, Fly On, All I Can Think About Is You, Daddy, Coloratura and some others debunks this but whatever man. I tend to be optimistic about the whole thing. I think Chris has it in him to pen a return to form.

Well imo they don’t need a “return to form”because they are already well in truly in form. They’ve done all the right things getting to where they are today and truly have become the biggest band in the world. And this year they may even release a whole freaking alien musical. Coldplay of the 2000’s weren’t ever going to be capable of something that ambitious. 
In saying that those first few albums have been a critical part of their journey and contain very special songs that a lot of people love and adore. I just think that a focus on ‘what once was’ overlooks what are some brilliant songs in the current eras. Moon Music for example is a beautifully cohesive album with some great tracks. And as much as some here might hate to admit it, Coldplay do pop songs very well in comparison to some of the slop that gets into the top 40 these days. 

Songs like Gravity and God put a Smile have the same charismatic charm and appeal as something like 🌈 or People of the Pride.
So for me these no need to try remain optimistic because they’ve been able to deliver quality songs every single time (albeit the occasional hit and miss).

So what will LP11 be like? 
Chris described it recently as something very special they’re working on so I have no doubt it will be just that.

I agree, and 2000´s Coldplay would have never put puppets on stage and deliver something like "My Universe".

OF COURSE THEY DON´T. The melody, the sweetness and darkness, the lyrics (I´m talking in general, not specifically  on those two tracks) are far away from POTP (a song I really love, but nothing more than Coldplay imitating a heavy band for fun) or🌈 which is made of really beautiful parts of songs.

Which is the same as them saying they have something different from the rest of what they´ve done, or any other meaningless quotes we can remember.

 

I agree on something, which is that Coldplay will always put on every album two or three great songs, because Martin´s ability for melodies is out of the question. But the effortless lyrics from these days and the path from rock to pop is out of the question (in my opinion, at least) too, and it´s ok, I don´t ask any of my favourite bands to keep doing the same songs over and over again. But it is what it is.

And it´s exactly because of the road to pop and collaborations with BTS, Beyoncé, Rihanna..., their amazing concerts as a human example of human union and collective enjoyment directly shared on tickTock and Instagram.

Which is fine, but the reason is not (or not completely) their singles and albums of this last five years.

The problem with Coldplay from MX onwards isn't that they just stopped being great. If that were the case I wouldn't be wasting my time here. The problem is they stopped being consistently great. Every era with the possible exception of AHFOD has produced some of their best work ever. Moon Music on the whole might be on the more mediocre side of things, but Rainbow is easily in my top 10 favourite Coldplay songs ever. The leaks prove they still had it in them to create Oldplay level masterpieces - the talent and creativity is still very much there. They just choose to release more divisive material instead. 

And I don't blame them for that approach, honestly. As disappointing as it is for a fan, it makes perfect sense career wise. When they made Viva la Vida, Chris openly said it was their attempt to become to biggest AND best band in the world. Biggest? Certainly worked, the title track was an enormous hit and it was one of the best selling albums of the year. Best? Sadly not. In spite of Brian Eno working some goddamn miracles with them, critics were (unfairly imo) as divided as ever. I think the penny dropped in that moment, Coldplay were never going to win over the critics no matter what they did. What they COULD do is win over mainstream radio listeners, so the focus switched to that. 

You could argue it worked. Right now Coldplay are playing the biggest rock band tour of all time. Would they have gotten on those stages without songs like Paradise, A Sky Full of Stars, Something Just Like This or even My Universe? Probably not. And honestly we should be thrilled they're still dropping songs like Rainbow, Coloratura and Arabesque in spite of it not being commercially advantageous to do so. 

The fact the next two albums (apparently) won't feature singles gives me hope the band will focus on being consistently great again, and end their discography on a positive note. Will that actually happen? Who knows, but I'll bet at least a handful of great songs will come out of it. And that's a handful of great songs which didn't exist before, so I'll happily take them.

what is up my coldplayers

Hello again everybody! I thought I should log back in here after quite a while to share with you my predictions for LP11. 

I think the title would be something like "Confetti in Zero Gravity".

In a near future where Earth has grown divided and disconnected, a global coalition launches Aurora Station, the first cultural space station created to unite humanity through music, love and group hugging. But when a violent debris storm destroys its communications, the station is left drifting silently above the planet.

Among the crew is Lina, an openly queer dreamer who expresses themself through elaborate, hand crafted animal inspired performance suits they designs in secret. They are a reserved orbital engineer who trusts machinery far more than people. They never intended to perform, never wanted to be seen. Systems obey logic; humans rarely do. Lina discovers unfinished songs stored within the station’s AI, melodies sent from Earth by ordinary voices hoping to be heard. As fear spreads among the crew, they begin completing the songs, and one by one the others join them. Their music slips through the damaged transmission network, reaching Earth as faint harmonic patterns. Soon strangers gather in streets and homes across the world, humming along, remembering what it feels like to share something together.

When sunlight breaks through a cloud of orbital particles and Oldplayers scream and weep in their sorrow, vast rainbows stretch across the curve of the planet. Forced to release millions of reflective calibration fragments to save the station, Lina watches as they scatter into a shimmering halo of color around them, like confetti suspended in zero gravity. The breathtaking image reaches Earth and becomes a symbol of fragile, defiant joy.

With the station slowly losing orbit, Lina organizes one final global broadcast, inviting the world not just to listen, but to sing and hug. Millions of voices rise in unison, strengthening the signal and helping rescuers guide the crew safely home. Months later, people celebrate Unity Day beneath painted rainbows, tossing biodegradable confetti into the air.

When a child asks Lina why confetti matters, they smile and reply, “Because joy is lighter than gravity. And when we share it, it lifts us all.”
