Coldplaying.com would like to wish all our visitors and members a very merry Christmas and prosperous New Year for 2019.       The first half of 2018 was quiet for Coldplaying but with the announcement of the A Head Full of Dreams Film and the live album, it felt like old times again! We were lucky enough to interview Mat Whitecross this year and our Twitter and Instagram saw a huge increase in followers. The site saw a slight redesign that made the homepage a lot more pleasing and easy to acc

Lately, this has largely been due to the remarkable work of our very own Coldplayer, flockofbirds222.   Coldplayedits is THE place to go to request custom lock screens, headers, icons inspired by Coldplay. Currently, you can get your very own edits to the Kaleidoscope EP cover. We have shown only a couple here, but flockofbirds222 has been busy making over 50 to date, and the requests are flying in like, well, birds!   Check out the

Major changes have been made to the Coldplaying forums, as some of you may have already noticed. This comes after major issues with the forums, over the past week. Our site developer, Stephen (Stephend2000) has kindly been working to bring the forums back up and the best option was to migrate from Vbulletin4 to Xenforo. This in turn fixed many issues and the new forum will be more stable for the site in the long term.   The change to Xenforo was something we've been considering for the future a

The Coldplaying forums have just hit the huge milestone of 100,000 members! Yes, over the period of 15 years, we've had 100k accounts created. The first one was an admin account created in the year 2000 by Busybeeburns A.K.A Ian, who managed the whole of Coldplaying.com for a magnificent 14 years! The site was then sold in April 2014 and I've been running it from that point (Sparky).   Back in 2005 (when I originally signed up), the Coldplaying forums were not the largest as Coldplay.com had it

Our feature, Coldplaying asks Coldplay is currently on hold until further notice. We asked you to submit questions to propose to the band themselves and the winner was voted on. A selection of the top questions have been collected, ready to ask Coldplay but they can't answer any questions for us at the moment because they're fully focused on recording their new album and are "working very hard".   We've got a selection of your questions ready, so when the band start promoting again, we'll resum
