Fix You vs Every Teardrop is a Waterfall

Viva la Vida vs Midnight

Big agree on this. As Chris wrote down in the Notebook edition of Moon Music, they aren’t a big flash in the pan band like Oasis or Nirvana and then disappear. They’re on more of a slow burn, and right now I believe they are hitting their ‘boiling point’ of commercial and artistic success, yet to be capped off with an incredibly ambitious musical project and their final self titled album which I assume will be a sum up of all the parts and their testimonial. No other band have been able to do what Coldplay has for so long, only ones like U2 get close. Wannabe bands like One Republic try to stay relevant but fail as they dissolve into trashy pop fodder with David Guetta. I’m glad Coldplay haven’t managed to do this to themselves. So while we all argue about which eras sound better or worse, the truth is that every era has played a part in defining their career to it’s exponential heights.

Charlie Brown vs Arabesque

Charlie Brown vs God Put a Smile Upon Your Face

Fly On vs Yes

Lovers in Japan vs Politik

GOOD FEELiNGS vs A Spell a Rebel Yell

Ok so we have a solid theory finally. The latest tour news is that there is a rumour that 11 shows are being played in Madrid in 2027 following the upcoming tour break. Coldplay are in the middle of their 10 shows at Wembley where they are playing songs from an album per night that don’t normally get played. So why 11 at Madrid and not 10 like Wembley? It’s a very strange number to do, UNLESS they intend to repeat the album per night idea with the last night being LP11 themed. That means LP11 must arrive by early-mid 2027 for this to happen. It will also mean the MOTS tour can successfully be done during the release of the entire MOTS trilogy.
