Their Myspace page only gives the 14th.

Support band announcement Support band for 14th: The Domino State http://www.myspace.com/thedominostate 14 Dec 2008 19:30 The O2 Arena (w/Coldplay) London Friday, October 10, 2008 Gig update Current mood: excited A few items of gig news... 1) We're very pleased that Coldplay have invited us to join them on the bill at the O2 Arena on Sunday 14th December. This will be an exciting gig for us, to say the least. It's sold out, of course, but if you're going anyway, it would be great if you can get there early to give us some support.

Thanks. This is brilliant!

"90minutes 18song sets" That's what they do. Live with it. (you're from USA, right?) :smug:

New Number 1!! Official! Not Mint Royale. Just heard on Radio 1 Chart Show

"Roadie #42 reports from Brixton" Do you think this is Miller writing as for the X & Y tour. BTW Just finished listening to the whole gig again. Awesome! Some good reviews from the UK broadsheets. I suspect the 4s (and one 3) mostly reflect their predjudices and we can safely assume they mean 5! (My predjudice?) "Coldplay have a strength of character – friendly, excitable, charming and passionate – that success cannot erase." Praise indeed from a Coldplay disser!

No it's not! Some amazingly positive articles, interviews and reviews. All can be found on this forum. Just a few for starters: http://www.coldplaying.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=4394 http://www.coldplaying.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=4377 http://www.coldplaying.com/forum/showthread.php?t=46646

Plagiarized!! In an interview this week Chris said that they (Coldplay) had plagiarized themselves for their third album. Has Andy Gill taken advice from our outspoken friend? Andy Gill 3 June 2005 - Independent review of X&Y ......they wield the same oceanic sense of unease and uplift as Pink Floyd - a clear indication of their business ambitions, even though there's no hint of the Floyd's questing artistic temperament. Tracks such as "Talk", "Fix You" and "A Message" are vaguely similar, songs of solace articulating broad misgivings: "I'm scared about the future and I want to talk to you"; "When you feel so tired and you can't sleep/ Stuck in reverse", etc, resolved in platitudes like "I will try to fix you" and "You don't have to be alone". There's no grappling with the social or political causes of the problems, just a bland emotional poultice. Martin offers a consoling arm round the shoulder and a nice cup of tea. Andy Gill 11 June 2008 - Independent article “Why I hate Coldplay” Another obvious comparison would be with Pink Floyd: they evoke much the same oceanic sense of unease and uplift, and employ the same type of widescreen arrangements, though as with their Radiohead influence, there's little hint that Coldplay share the Floyd's questing artistic temperament. ..."I'm scared about the future and I want to talk to you", "When you feel so tired and you can't sleep/Stuck in reverse", etc – invariably resolved in mealy-mouthed platitudes like "I will try to fix you" and "You don't have to be alone" There's no real sense of grappling with the social or political causes of the problems, just a bland emotional poultice applied to the wound. Instead, Chris Martin offers a consoling arm around the shoulder and a nice cup of tea. Where would we be without electronic file storage and copy and paste? Andy Gill!!! Oh Dear, Oh Dear, Oh Dear!! Pompous, mawkish, and unbearably smug, Andy Gill has once again regaled the music press with the lexical equivalent of a bloated watermelon, argues Coldplay aficionado. And in the process, he's poisoned an entire generation of British music critics. I suppose he has to make his money and generate interest somehow - though he'll probably have to wait at least another 3 years or so to do the same! Have you re-read his article on X&Y from early June 2005? Interestingly he has used some identical phrases - please don't tell me he works to a formula, reusing stock words/phrases (a comment bank perhaps?). And are they really his own words? Perhaps next time he should attempt some originality and creativity by enlisting the help of an Eno-equivalent producer of music journalism. Quote from X&Y Review - Andy Gill - 3 June 2005 “ Where a group like Radiohead seem to bristle at being asked to repeat themselves, Coldplay here show themselves to be almost as one-dimensional as Oasis, plugging away at the same old themes in the same old manner (my emphases).” ..mmmmmmmm!

Yes. Just back from Woolworths. Bought 2!! Bought Clash mag from WH Smith too. Excellent interview and review. Now listening to Jo Wiley.:)

and..... Air Studios News: September/October 2007 Nick Wollage recorded the score to a new film ‘The Escapist’, closely followed by Geoff Foster recording the beautifully voiced Mara Carlyle performing with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, all in The Hall. http://www.airstudios.com/news/news.shtml Much of LP4 was recorded here, wasn't it?

"and sure enough, it's on the movie 'The Escapist''s IMDB page." here- http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0961728/soundtrack

Jonny also sings backing vocals live : Politik How you see the world I think I read somewhere that Jonny had been singing in the Spanish recording sessions, so I guess we can look forward to him on LP4.

The Muse support tour was in 2000. I saw them at L2, Liverpool, 30 May 2000. Muse were amazing. Coldplay were better! I also saw them at Telford's Warehouse in Chester, UK, on 1st or 2nd July 1999 - can't remember the exact date. This gig is not listed in any gigography that I can find. I know they also played at Fibbers, York on 30th June 1999.

Good article here about the Hands management style. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/opinion/main.jhtml;jsessionid=PJYVKISYXBACHQFIQMGSFFOAVCBQWIV0?xml=/opinion/2008/01/16/do1605.xml "Oh yes, that's his other brainwave. He wants to open up new revenue lines through corporate sponsorship and branding. Hmm. Coldplay posing in Barclaycard T-shirts on their next album cover? I would like to be at the meeting where Hands proposes that." I would also love to be at that meeting!

Happy 10th Anniversary Laurel Tree, Camden, 16th January 1998
