Coldplay Join The Bill For BBC Radio 1's Big Weekend 2021!

This has been on my mind recently now that Coldplay are finally returning to NZ next year,   My thoughts: - MOTS/Higher Power is likely to remain opener. - Biutyful is likely to stay as closer, possibly they could rotate it with a Moon Music song? Seems unlikely tho. - LSG & Coloratura are already dropped save for the odd appearance. Humankind will stay as a rotational song. I don't see Human Heart/POTP being dropped it seems like they are both essential moments. - I think the whole rotational CB, Orphans, Politik, IMP thing is temporary and next year will be scrapped and replaced with a permanent Moon Music song replaces all of these options. It would be a little disappointing to see as this is what currently makes the tour setlists interesting to follow but its the most likely outcome to happen here. The Songbook song I think has a good chance of being replaced with a new ballad from Moon Music too, its essentially become an excuse to play dumbed down versions of Everglow, Fly on and Up&Up so its become a little boring. - I would love Politik to become regular given the world scene but I may be dreaming. Most people think Charlie Brown should be a regular instead of rotational but personally I don't think the song is needed so much this tour. - Production Tricks is a bit hard to predict but we know there's something spectacular coming with the visuals for one of the new songs and the lightclub will change again next year, potentially with another Moon Music song too. - The setlist might be slightly longer. Overall I can see about 4 stadium friendly Moon Music songs entering the setlist but 3 would essentially replace current songs and one would be additional. It's not the most ideal scenario but I feel like its the most predictable given how things have panned out this tour. On another note its nice to see Chris singing some songs live again and reducing songs he's lip-syncing, especially the recent USA West Coast leg where POTP and Clocks were sung live (although sometimes the lip-synced vocal track is preferable to the ad-libs Chris does live ...😬) In saying that, his health is the number 1 priority and not our best value for entertainment so its completely understandable and even acceptable that Chris lipsyncs some songs especially ones which are vocally taxing. He's not the young man he once was he's getting closer to 50 lol.

- Will they change the show opener Higher Power to something new? Possibly - Will they change the show closer Biutyful to something new? Probably - Which songs from MOTS album will be dropped from setlist completely to make space for Moon Music songs? I would be disappointed if any of them are dropped, apart from Human Heart or Biutyful - Which one of the classic hit songs should be given some rest? Sparks, Don't Panic and In My Place - Which one of the older songs currently not regularly on setlist should be made regular? Shiver and Swallowed in the Sea - Some interesting new production tricks? Hopefully - Should they make concert a bit longer? Definitely

Just because it's quiet in Coldplay front at the moment, I thought it would be fun and exciting to speculate what will change in MOTS concert setlist and production next year when Moon Music is released. Some key points: - Will they change the show opener Higher Power to something new? - Will they change the show closer Biutyful to something new? - Which songs from MOTS album will be dropped from setlist completely to make space for Moon Music songs? - Which one of the classic hit songs should be given some rest? - Which one of the older songs currently not regulary on setlist should be made regular? - Some interesting new production tricks? - Should they make concert a bit longer? Yes 😀  

Hi all, In the Netherlands at the end of the year we have since 1999 the Top 2000 at NPO Radio 2. This is a list of the best 2000 songs ever, as voted by the (dutch) listeners. This is the most popular list (gets the most media attention) in the Netherlands and last year Fix You reached an all time high in this list at place number 5. Off course we would love to see a Coldplay song at the number 1 spot! So, I need your help/vote! Got to https://stem.nporadio2.nl/top2000-2023/1/ and cast your vote. The site is in dutch, but hopefully, most of you understand what needs to be done. I just tested with a VPN set to location UK and it seemed to work, so hopefully the same goes for you. Step 1 is filling your favorite songs (Minimum 5, maximum 35 and off course Fix You!!! 😁), by typing in the search field and adding the song with the '+'. Once you have sufficient songs, you can go to the next step 2. Step 2 Is where you can fill the motivation, but that's entirely optional Step 3 Is where you need to fill your Name and Mailadress and agree to the terms and conditions (the one check box at the bottom). The rest is optional Step 4 Is confirming your choices by mail (check spam and it might take a few minutes) That's it Please don't vote for the following songs, as they are the ones which compete with Fix You for the top spot: Queen    Bohemian Rhapsody Eagles    Hotel California Billy Joel    Piano Man Led Zeppelin    Stairway to Heaven Pearl Jam    Black Metallica    Nothing Else Matters Queen    Love of My Life Pink Floyd    Wish you Were here Guns 'N Roses    November Rain Pink Floyd    Comfortably Numb   Thanks in advance!!!

Managed to get tickets to two shows in Sydney next year. One show in the stands and one on the floor.  I thought the floor GA tickets were just one open section but the tickets are listed as: ARENA LEFTF - GA Anyone know if the ground is segmented as the stadium map doesn't show different zones like other concerts I have been too at Accor Stadium.
