Ginger Bloke, the fella with all the interview quips up his sleeve, meets a witty Chris Martin, a disinterested Guy Berryman, a 'bald' Will Champion, and Jonny who really doesn't care at all.   Watch the interview here

Girls Aloud have responded after Coldplay frontman Chris Martin [pictured] revealed that he had been trying to write the girl group a song, report Gigwise today. In April, Martin was quoted as saying he was “obsessed” with Girls Aloud, adding: “I've been trying to write them a song and I can't come up with anything good enough.”   The girl group have now challenged Martin, who revealed recently that he had worked with Kylie Minogue, to complete the song. “Well he better keep workin on a song, th

Girls Aloud will reportedly serve as an opening act for Coldplay's live concert at London's Wembley Stadium. If the rumor is true, the all's girl group will take the Wembley's stage alongside the "Viva La Vida" hitmakers on September 19, 2009.   "Coldplay are huge pop fans.

They will get the Wembley crowd worked up into a frenzy before the main attraction. Chris Martin is a

Coldplay'S Chris Martin delighted thousands of fans by praising their singing as his band rocked the SECC last night.   The singalong to Fix You prompted Martin, pictured, to tell the fans: "Your singing is fantastic.

This weekend's Sundance Film Festival in Utah sees the long awaited first showing of the documentary film 'Glastonbury', which features footage from the last 30 years of Europe's most famous festival.   The film's director Julien Temple has spent the past few years collecting footage from every single Glastonbury Festival, ranging from professional outtakes from the film Nicolas Roeg made about the 1971 event to amateur home videos collected from the attendees themselves, often retrieved from fo

Glastonbury festival tickets go on sale tonight (April 1st) - and organisers are hoping not to see a repeat of last year's problems. And recent speculation that Coldplay were going to make a surprise appearance were purely fictional April Fools jokes.   Tickets for this year's event go up for grabs at 8pm and will only be available through the telephone ticketline on 0870 830 2004 or via a link at the official festival site, glastonburyfestivals.co.uk.   Oasis, Paul McCartney and Muse have been

The rumour mill has already started turning for this year's Glastonbury festival and here are some of the bands you can expect to see on the Pyramid Stage (and when!) at this year's Glastonbury Festival.   On Friday night, we expect Keane to be the act that plays before the headliner (or perhaps the third from last). Michael Eavis saw them at their re-scheduled gig in Bristol last night, and we're told that although the band were keeping their lips tightly zipped, the same can't be said for Mich

The headliners for the next Glastonbury Festival are being finalised earlier than ever and will be confirmed "pretty soon", organisers have told BBC in an online article this morning.   Three months after this year's event, Emily Eavis said they were talking to "a few" stars about headlining in 2009. She declined to name them, but did say: "It's not Coldplay, it's not U2 and it's not the Rolling Stones."   She also said Franz Ferdinand and The Ting Tings would be "somewhere on the bill" after pl

If you can’t make the trip to the festival itself, here are all the details you need to know to can catch the sure-to-be unforgettable performance on the Pyramid Stage from home:   The band are scheduled to take the stage at 9:30 PM BST. Here is a time converter you can use to determine what time they’ll be performing in your time zone so y

Tickets for the Glastonbury Festival 2005 went on sale Sunday morning at 9am - and all were snapped up within a matter of hours.   The event in Somerset from June 24-26 remains as popular as ever, with phone lines jammed and the website blocked as thousands tried to get tickets. It will be the last festival there until 2007, with the fields being left fallow next year.  

Glastonbury co-organiser Emily Eavis has been talking to the official Glastonbury Festival website about the recent headliner announcements including Coldplay today and how preparations for this year's Festival are coming along. You can read the full interview at the website; below are the Coldplay exerpts...   Then, of course, you confirmed Coldplay as Saturday's headliners today. Yes, we were really lucky to get them. It's been a while since they came and played here, so I think this will be a

Glastonbury's second day has got off to a drier start – with police saying crime remains at record lows.   According to Avon And Somerset Police, total reported crime – excluding drug offences – now stands at 36, down from 74 crimes at this stage last year, a reduction of 51 per cent. Arrests stand at 66, compared to 83 at this time last year.   Police also say that a man has died at the festival. Emergency services were called to one of the camping fields after a report of a man being taken ill

The Who, Arctic Monkeys and Bjork are set to play western England's famed Glastonbury Festival this year, according to event founder Michael Eavis.   While organizers usually try to keep the lineup of the massively popular three-day contemporary music festival under wraps, Eavis has been dropping hints about this year's performers throughout a spate of interviews with the BBC, music magazine NME and other British media outlets this week.   For instance, Eavis has confirmed that legendary rockers

Glastonbury Festival organiser Michael Eavis has promised ticket sales for this year's event will be smoother than in 2004, when systems crashed.   Millions of phone calls and internet hits were registered by people trying to buy tickets last year. Mr Eavis said they had "tested and retested" an improved online system and would have more than twice the number of phone operators on duty this time. The 112,000 tickets, priced £133 each, go on sale at 0900 GMT on 3 April.   Mr Eavis, who has been

A movie documenting the Glastonbury Music Festival, simply entitled 'Glastonbury', will hit the big screens this week, with its premiere taking place in London tonight.   The world-famous festival is taking a break this year, but will be back for 2007, and organisers had recorded 1,500 of amateur and professional footage of the last few festivals to make the film.   "For such a long time I've been scared of becoming involved in making a film about the festival, because it could be so wrong," Eav

Guitarist Jonny Buckland said: "It's the ultimate festival, the mo

As promised, Coldplay's set at the Glastonbury Festival showcased several songs from their upcoming album.   Chris Martin was in good spirits, and thanked the crowd for making the festival so special. He apparently apologized numerous times throughout the night for not being Rod Stewart (who plays the festival later this weekend).   As far as I am concerned, he is more than forgiven. Ananova reports that Chris also jokingly referred to the festival's strict new security measures by changing the
