Q. Dear Oracle, Will the band wear the same Viva jackets and use all the Viva la Vida stuff for the summer festivals or have they come up with something new? TNX

Q. Hello Oracle sometimes you are talking about a photo shoot of the band in your replies and I'm looking for it! by internet with no succes.... Would you mind show me where I can see it, please? Regards, Chris.
The Oracle replies:
Dude it only finished last night. It isn't like photos are taken and then uploaded straight to flickr, photobucket or whatever. When there's a photo to see, we'll post it on this site so there's no need to go searching, just check back here.

Q. Hi Oracle ! For school I have to find a song that treats about the environment in any way. Until now I just found Earth Song from Michael Jackson, do you maybe have any other ideas ? Thanks and sorry, my English is not so good! Mel
The Oracle replies:
Ooh yes, The Beach Boys wrote a song called Don't Go Near the Water which is quite ironic given their earlier songs were mostly about surfing...

Q. Dear All-Knowing Oracle, Is Coldplay working on a new album for 2011/ 2012?
The Oracle replies:
Blimey Alexandra, have you been away into space or anywhere? It's all anyone has been talking about. Especially here. Roadie #42's blogs have all been about the new album too. Yes, there will be an album and it will drop sometime this year...

Q. Dearest Oracle, I read today that at concerts, Coldplay wouldn't perform unless there were 8 "stamped, local postcards" in their dressing room. Is this true? If so, why? Rob
The Oracle replies:
That's not actually true. All bands have riders which is a list of their requirements for backstage. They do have stamped postcards on the rider but they'd still perform if they were missing; it's not a deal breaker! The original idea behind the postcards was touring doesn't necessarily mean you get to see anything of the country you're visiting so it was a way to get a memento and be able to send a card home if they wanted to.

Q. Dear Oracle, Can you please tell me what Don Quixote means? Thanks
The Oracle replies:
Don Quixote is is a novel written by Spanish author Miguel de Cervantes. As for the Coldplay song of the same moniker, it's inspired by and named after the book. The track was originally called Spanish Rain and I'm pretty sure Chris was reading it on the Latin American tour last year hence the name change after the first couple of plays. The song does name check La Mancha, which is where Don Quixote was from, and his fictional friend Sancho Panza.

Q. Hello Oracle! Did you see the Guardian's article on The Pierces today? I had no idea they were as small as they are in the u.s. Good luck to them over here, in any case! When is You & I to be released? Thanks!
The Oracle replies:
You & I is out in the UK on May 30th. I didn't see the newspaper piece but I did know that they're relatively small in the U.S. It's a huge market out there so it's great they can be making waves over here.
