Well, that´s unexpected!

We´re not sure at all, it´s just a mix of speculations, free time and how much we want to listen to new Coldplay songs.

I didn´t know about that, can you explain what does it include and what makes it special?

As a commercial movement, that made sense because of the huge success of VLV, but Moon Music is different, I would rather a completely separated release, just the EP.

I hope they´re not thinking about releasing again MM, a simple EP would be great.

It makes sense... Even more thinking about another leg(s) of the same tour... Without new music it would be a little too much.

Ok, imagine it´s legit. "Some new music is coming". That could easily be referring to next summer or so, but anyway, what do you think it could be? My bet is the musical.

I really think True Love is one of Coldplay best songs, Up in Flames is a nice ballad, and Princess of China (although being the first full swim in the comercial pond) is a beautiful melody, and Rihanna makes one of the best guest collaborations on any of their albums. In my opinion, of course😂

What did she say?

I think to get involved in something different from the MOTS era, they need to wrap up the tour. So it makes sense that maybe they finish the musical next year, or something new has got in their way, but the self-titled last album, at least the one some of us dream of, has nothing to do with singing My universe every night.

Probably just for the fun of doing it, I guess. And that´s great, in my opinion, album promotions should be less tied…

Please, the second option…

Can anyone share those sessions or whatever was linked with me? Thanks!

Well, you were almost right. I think they could/should have changed a bit more, but...🤷‍♂️

The rumours in Spain say that it´s 11 shows because Bad Bunny is playing 10 shows at that venue, so they can break that record. It doesn’t make any sense to think they are interested in doing that in a country like mine, and I hope the real idea is what you ´ re proposing.

Thanks everyone for joining the conversation! When we compare different eras it´s always easy to come to conclusions without context. About this actual tour, two questions: - How many people buy tickets to listen to We Pray or FLIFIL? How many buy tickets because it´s a great show that everyone talks about and they´ve seen the colorful joy that gets spread? - Can we compare nowadays attendance, when a concert is much more than musical, but something social? Since COVID (maybe even some years before) that search for connection has grown, and people fill all tours like it´s the end of the world. Coldplay have been around us for 25 years, so if you want to compare them to U2, we should look at the Vertigo Tour, where the attendance and tickets selling was huge, with lots of new fans yearning to hear their last two albums big singles, Beautiful Day and Vertigo. Is that comparable to how today´s public wait to listen to My Universe or We Pray? I don´t think so, although I know I´m not objective at all...

Yes! It was great to hear it again, although I would rather get a full band version (Will didn´t play the drums). By the way it looks on videos, very few people in the stadium knew the song, but...

Very dissapointing setlist for me, only 3 Moon Music songs, and no surprise at all. Another night on the list... It´s ok, it´s our fault for thinking they could be preparing something different. We have not discussed Chris´words about the tour getting almost 100 more dates... or was it a joke? Didn´t sound like a joke to me.

Thanks! So maybe it was not related to the Wembley shows, but only reflected the intention of changing a little bit each night´s set list?

Hi! Anybody keeps track about how many of those songs soundchecked have been played so far?

We just needed a new version of We Pray, thanks!🤦‍♂️

I don´t think it´s gonna be only for one song...

Thanks! I find strange that they´re soundchecking so many "new" songs. If you consider introducing one or two new songs, even if they will be rotating, you don´t soundcheck 10 different tracks...

I completely agree with you, and I would add: if there are lights, wristsbands, fireworks and you keep five of the big hits (Scientist, Yellow, Sky full of stars, Viva and Something just like this), you could play another 15-18 unknown songs for the tiktok fans, and they would fill the stadium anyway. I would love to see them in a smaller venue again (the same applies here for U2) but lots of the few available tickets would end in the hands of people that don´t know any of those 15-18 songs (and of course have every right to pay for it).

Oh please, that is as asking who would you rather murder, your mum or your dad? None, of course!
