Hello everyone!   There are some upcoming events/features on Coldplaying.com which we are very excited about. At the moment, news is quiet on the Coldplay front and until Coldplay's next album, A Head Full Of Dreams unravels itself, there won't be much to post about on the new events side but when there is reliable info, we'll keep you informed :) I will be resuming the Ghost Stories review series again, which was delayed because of other (time consuming) Coldplaying projects.

2014 has now come to a close. We've had the pleasure of listening to a new Coldplay album, with an additional single release for Miracles, alike to Atlas in 2013, with both songs featuring on film soundtracks.   Unlike 2013, there's a lot of competition, with four songs receiving over 10% of the vote : Always In My Head, True Love, A Sky Full Of Stars and Miracles. The poll was made using Google Surveys and has been posted on various fanpages recently. Our forum poll results so far are quite d

Welcome back everyone! We have had over 2 days of downtime, mainly on the forums. This was initially due to a lag issue where a process in the database placed a huge load on the servers and while the forums and partially the main sites were offline, I decided to update much of the back end of Coldplaying with the help of our veteran (:P) technical admin, Stephen/tifosi who did a fantastic job. It was a major update that caused a lot of downtime but its one for the future server performance and b

A short message from the new proprietor and head honcho of Coldplaying.com   Hello to all my fellow Coldplay fans, I wish to introduce myself as the new owner of Coldplaying.

With a twinkle in our eyes and a spring in our step we bid you a fond farewell. After 13yrs of hard work, some of it fun, some of it tough, we have come to the conclusion it is time to separate and seek pastures new. We are, as founders, particularly proud that our child has grown up and ask that its new voice be heard and respected. We hope that as we consciously uncouple from the site and lurk, that you will be able to enjoy new videos and new songs as coldplaying lives on.   Love   Ian, Jen

And hopefully a new beginning and another chapter. Time inevitably marches forward and lives change. It has got to the point where we are not able to put in the time and effort the site(s) deserve particularly when there will inevitably be an increase in traffic & interest as the new album and tour are announ
