Just compiling a list now. I don't have too much yet. It may even be better if users go ahead and ask if a statement is true or false. What I have so far: -Next album is tentatively called "A Head Full Of Dreams" (source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aq-K93obyE4) -LP7 has been focused/worked on since at least summer 2014 if not earlier. -Unlikely to be the last album by the band. The clarification came from both Chris and Guy in separate interviews where they meant to say they view this as the last album in a theme. The next album (if there is one) will be a start of a new direction (source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qykgQTsrqlw) -LP7 Tour/Festivals Appearances: in the above interview with Guy and Jonny on BBC, Guy responds to a question about Glastonbury 2015 appearances (late June 2015)...Guy says Glasto is unlikely and by extension, any shows before then since they are gonna be working on the album -About when the album will come out: Guy and Jonny both say there is an internal deadline but Jonny says the band's track record with deadlines isn't very good. The best they gave us in that interview is 'by the end of 2015'. If its by the end of 2015 and after Glasto, we're looking at a window of Q3, Q4 2015 and Q1 2016. -Related to touring, the band have said (source missing) that a tour will follow that will see the band visit many places. -The band is working collaboratively with other artists (Rihanna being at least one of them), but the results of those sessions and their ultimate fate on LP7 is unconfirmed. However, Chris says there will be at least one song featuring another artist, at least he hopes (http://fresh1027.cbslocal.com/2014/08/07/chris-martin-talks-coldplays-plans-and-studio-time-with-rihanna/) -I get a little fuzzy after this point. I think something small was said about the type of album, but I dont remember in the 90 pages of the LP7 thread if it was a direct quote or a user's hopeful thinking. I have since found the quote, but its a bit of a stretch for me to label it as fact. -Some random articles/interviews here http://www.coldplaying.com/7th-coldplay-album-completion-of-story/ http://www.coldplaying.com/coldplay-recording-next-project-new-tour/

I see your point and it speaks to how little we actually DO know. But we can also use this thread to debunk the things that are out there. For example, the collaborations that are apparently in the next album. Some are suggesting that it will happen. But the best i've heard to support this is that Coldplay are working with other people. Nowhere did I read that it was for LP7. Another example are festivals dates. We just got a lovely quote yesterday from Guy saying they would like to play Glasto but they have to get the album done first....

NOVEMBER 6TH, WE KNOW EVERYTHING! WHAT WE KNOW WHAT IS FALSE

Ok Coldplayers. I've been thinking for a little while about opening another thread. This will be called the LP7 Era Facts Thread. I've been through at least 5 different LP7 threads including all 90 pages of this one. I'm not sure if there are enough if any users who feel the way I do, but I don't like to cloud what we know about LP7 with miscellaneous guesses, personal wishlists and baseless rumours. I'm not sure if this is too similar to this current thread, but ever since BBB came along, ive been reading too much in the way of wishlists and not enough concrete facts. The way I'd like to see it is this current thread for discussion and mine for actual facts that ppl can refer to. I hope this doesn't come off as bashing this thread or its participants but this type of discussion is just not for me. If anyone would like to see this new thread happen, just leave a thumbs up or a reply. Edit: I hope this doesn't come off as thumbs-up whoring either. Feel free to unthumb-up if/after I make the thread Edit2: I went ahead and made the thread after 2 votes lol.

I think a few of the senior Coldplayers here will tell you what i'm about to tell the rest of yous. At the beginning of every era since X&Y, we have rumours of Coldplay quitting. It isn't happening.

LP7- Now Formally named "A Head Full Of Dreams" Are we gonna talk about how y'all got trolled by boobooboo or is everyone too ashamed to admit it? You'd think a lot more ppl would've learned to not believe everything they read, on the internet especially. Just because someone says something that sounds good and claim to be insider doesn't mean jack shit on the internet kiddos.

This calls for a poll....

I'd say Clocks wins out 'cause the piano riff is just so recognizable. I mean, there's nothing too special/different about Yellow, The Scientist, Fix You or Paradise that would make me recognize it before Clocks. I say Viva is a close second because its also recognizable and because of the whole plagiarism nonsense. Except Clocks has been out longer than VLV.

At least it wasnt weird/bad like Coldplay's videos. Did they replace the previous drummer with the one that Noel uses at acoustic shows?

It seems like the last time this was bumped was for the Moncton incident. Well, it seems like its my sad duty to bump it again for those with ties with Quebec/Ottawa.

Wow, batman approves of MY .gif choice? What an honour!

Exactly. I'm not even sure i'll be getting it since there aren't enough new things to intice me to buy. Concert i've already seen CD is just an audio rip of the concert MVs will surely be posted on youtube

Oh, and I'm sure most of you Coldplayers heard about the DVD/Bluray/CD concert coming out in November. I believe the November release date that was rumoured way back when is this concert CD, NOT LP7. Credit to whoever suggested that....

Don't buy anymore CDs!

IIRC that font is called 'Albertus'-something. Now that I look closer though, it does appear to be the GS era font and slightly different than the Parachutes-X&Y era font. I think someone found the accurate font name before...perhaps run a forum search. Edit: the thread I had in mind is below http://www.coldplaying.com/forum/threads/99125-Ghost-Stories-Font!?highlight=font

lol, I still buy the CD as well. There's something to be said about holding a physical copy in your hand. I just rip the tunes off the CD afterwards. Surely we aren't the only ones to do it this way still???

Dying of the Light makes it to the new album too, good to hear. And NA/Jap tour coming after Euro btw. Heres a video link (on facebook) to the press conf.

Oh boy, i wonder what the title for that song would be....

Exactly. While I am a straight man, I understand the gals need to perv out too once in a while.

I'm on the fence with IMP. The song itself is getting old/repetitive. But the energy that it creates at concerts (the confetti, Chris/Jonny interaction time, etc), is pretty cool.

Actually, there is nothing concrete yet about LP7. Everything so far has been deduced from rumours and previous band history. If that qualifies as news, then we're actually been hearing about LP7 news since around the Zane interviews. 'No tour till after LP7' is up in the air since there's talk of festival participation around summertime 2015. In that case, it wouldn't be out of the question if Coldplay return to the public stage with some festivals featuring LP7 material (like they did for MX, see below). ------------------------------------------ Rock Im Park festival (first Coldplay appearance of MX era) - June 2011 First Coldplay show of MXtour - October 1 2011 MX album release date - October 19 2011 ------------------------------------------- Assuming rumours are accurate (which is a leap of faith in itself), saying the new album within 12 months is a rough ballpark. Taking all rumours as fact, the earliest date given was in November. Taking previous history as a guide, we could also be sitting for 12-16 months.

Of course I can't really say a particular setlist prediction is 'wrong', but here are some things i'm noticing. The setlist is unlikely to start and end with anything other than the LP7 era opener, or at the very least, an LP7 era song. I hate to name names, but just as an example, the previous user (^above me) listed Always in My Head and A Sky Full of Stars as the bookend songs which I think is very unlikely to happen. Also, when designing setlists, keep this in mind. If they can cut Politik out of their show, no song is safe from being cut.

Whoa, srsly? To me that's the next best news to LP7 news
