Coldplay headlined the Spanish BBK Live festival in Bilbao last night (7th July 2011) with no reported setlist changes from the previous show in Portugal. We say 'reported', because the online stream that was anticipated from EITB was pulled at the last minute. According to the Spanish radio, it was Coldplay's audio technician who refused permission for the stream, TV or radio coverage of the show. However, you can see a little bit of the show here and here via Spanish media websites ABC and EITB respectively. You can also download a short MP4 of last night's Coldplay show at the Multimedia forum now.
Thanks to the reviews now coming in we know there were no setlist changes... once again Shiver was readded to the setlist in place of Cemeteries Of London - so the setlist was the same one as Glastonbury, Rock Werchter and Where The Action Is Festivals. The same new tracks from the previous festival performances were also played - MX/Hurts Like Heaven, Major Minus, Us Against The World, Charlie Brown and Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall.
There have not been many reviews or photos online so far so we've delayed the publishing of our full review, but more live discussion on this show is at the Coldplay Live forum. Thanks to everyone who has contributed on the forums, Youtube and twitters. We'll have more on this show over the next few hours/days!

Buenos dias desde Bilbao. just quick a update since as far as I could understand they didn't stream the gig (boooooooo). The setlist was the same as Glasto (finally got Shiver ), the crowd was amazing, and the band was on top form. Oh we saw Xabi Alonso getting in vip queue for the taxi. [thanks iriden]
I was listening Radio 3 and I didn't listen that it was Coldplay's technician, they just said that in the last minutes they have been told that neither Radio 3 nor Eitb.com would be able to broadcast the show... They didn't know for sure what was happening but it was clear that they had the rights... so they were upset... This is really weird... They have been announcing repeatedly on the radio and the website... [thanks ellis]
I hope they stream the next shows of Coldplay! Now, Coldplay or the responsibles of this rude decition make an explanation of what happened or why they've cancelled it. It's rude to cancel in such a way a first act that calls on thousands of fans from around the world trying to watch them... I hope they give bbkstream the recorded show or something like that but not the money back, (unless they share it among all the fans?) [thanks Coldplero]
Band and crew seem to be top people and none of them will probably cancel something like that broadcast on purpose or out of sheer mischief. I'm just happy we all had the chance to watch some festivals and will be able to do so many other times this season. Besides, I'm happy for the extra material on the website - 42 reports, videos and stuff. I'm not into many bands but I think not everybody treats their fans so well. [thanks Suzana Fong]
