From settimes.ca Thursday, July 30th Rogers Centre - Toronto Doors 6:00pm Kitty, Daisy & Lewis 7:30pm Elbow 8:20pm Coldplay 9:30pm

Here's a theory... Coldplay want to play 2 shows at the Rogers Centre in Toronto on July 29th and 30th. Initially they announce it for July 29th, with the intention of getting the Argos game on July 30th moved so they can play a show that night as well. The on-sale is delayed due to problems getting the Argo game moved. They eventually come to an agreement that the Argos will move their July 30th game, if Coldplay will allow people who buy Argo tickets first access to the tickets (ie. makes Argos a lot of money). Coldplay agree, but obviously the Argos will not get as many people buying their tickets if the general public know that there will be another show (ie. on the 29th) that will be a regular sale (ie. no Argos presale). So they come to the agreement that the show on the 30th will be the advertised one (hence the date change), and an extra show can be added on the 29th (or 31st I guess). That's probably all BS, but you never know.

I think I'm going to take my chances with the general on sale. I'm not paying $66 for Argos tickets that I'm never going to use. Don't forget, they have the 4 nights before and 3 nights after July 30th with nothing scheduled. If this show sells out instantly on Monday (or before) they will probably add another.

To add to the rumours, here is something I just found on 92.5 Jack FMs website: "Coldplay's official website is reporting that the band will be playing a show in Toronto this summer on July 29th. No venue has been confirmed and an official announcement has yet to be made. However, you can expect that announcement very shortly with the BMO Field as the possible venue now. Check it out for yourself at the bands website here. " BMO Field has a capacity of about 25,000 for concerts, which is more than the ACC, and a lot more than the Molson Amphitheatre.

Coldplay.com and some other sites still show "Venue TBC". Is it definitely Molson Amphitheatre?

Was LIT live??? It sounded exactly like the studio recording. If it's pre-recorded I guess it isn't technically the first song...

I can listen to Radio 1 online.... and I'm in Canada. Is it some kind of blackout where it's not being aired online??

I notice Don't Panic is played earlier in the show (not acoustic section), was it still acoustic? Or was it full band version? Nick
