Yes, it's clear they're doing an album per night for Wembley. I hypothesised as much after the first couple of nights and it turned out to be true. I was there for the Ghost Stories and AHFOD nights. For the last night I reckon they'll play iAAM for the first time in the place of Charlie Brown/Politik, and maybe Jupiter will make its debut on the C-stage

So, Coldplay have just started playing at Wembley. So far, their setlist seems to be the same as it usually is... practically the exact same as it was three years ago when I last saw them at Wembley! I'm seeing them twice at Wembley in the coming weeks, the first time being Sunday 31st August. I have optimism that they'll completely mix things up, based on the amazing soundchecks they've been doing before previous concerts, but the setlists for the past couple of Wembley concerts leave me doubtful With Hull, their setlist appeared to be the same but they at least played Speed Of Sound which was a nice surprise. However... they soundchecked this song a good few times in previous concerts, and this so happened to find its way into a live concert. Why else would they soundcheck this song a couple of times if they weren't going to perform it, which they did?! I'm just wondering, do we reckon they'll do something completely different a few nights into their Coldplay residency? My thoughts are that they're doing a very "normal' setlist for the first few nights, almost as a warm up before they do something different. Bear in mind that they played songs such as Coloratura, iAAM and DAAHF in the same soundchecks as Speed Of Sound.... so do we reckon that they could potentially do something a bit different a few nights i when they've warmed up to Wembley? Let us know your thoughts below!

I don't think Alphabetica will be their final album, I think it'll be more a separate project album which isn't part of their main discography timeline. To he fair, the announcement of Alphabetica seemed to coincide with that hacker who was charged at the beginning of this year for leaking Coldplay songs. My thoughts are that they saw how much of their unfinished stuff is actually out there, and how willingly people are to go out of their way to listen to it; and realised they could make a bit of money by making it accessible to all from the most legit source: themselves There are quite a lot of finished songs that would fit on Alphabetica fine after mastering, and I'd imagine that they'll polish/rerecord some of the more complete demos to make them album-ready. I can bet Famous Old Painters will end up on it since the EL version is a complete song, as will tracks like Vampire Symphony and maybe Tomorrow (no pun intended). I think tracks like Bloodless Revolution are too unfinished, and they'd require as much effort to complete them as simply making a new song from scratch. Then you've got songs like Weirdo which people reckon could end up in the musical... so who knows?! There's that many leaked songs out there that we could probably compile a relatively complete A-Z list of what might be on Alphabetica. On the topic of leaked songs, I'm surprised that a complete version of Neon Forest hasn't been leaked yet. Maybe (hopefully!) that'll end up on Alphabetica if it doesn't get a proper release before that
