Coldplay - Live at Wembley Stadium in 2009!! All but confirmed! if you take a look at the interview with chris on the official website, he mentions that coldplay tried to book knebworth but couldnt manage it so instead they have opted for an alternative, namely wembley stadium!! Here is the relevant extract that is available on coldplay.com: You're playing in the UK right up to Christmas, with the last show on December 23rd in Belfast Yeah. And I would also like to do something on Christmas Eve, but I'm not sure if it's possible. I have to say, it does feel weird that we haven't been in Britain at all. Over the last week or so, the realisation of that has really hit. But I think next year we'll make up for it. Is that a hint towards future plans? Well, we tried to get Knebworth but it just wasn't possible. So we're having to think of something else. In fact, I think we have thought of something else. Hopefully we'll be able to announce it soon. And hopefully it's not the same day that Oasis have booked it. Although that would be a good double bill It would be a great double bill. And we wouldn't mind opening. I would also, funnily enough, open for Take That. We were in the dressing room yesterday and, for whatever reason, we started singing Back For Good. We sang the whole thing, word for word, with all the right chords on our piano, without having to learn it or anything. It was great. So I'd like to use this forum, the Coldplay website, to announce that if Take That want us to open for them, we'll do it. The only problem is that we'll have to get down the gym for a bit. But you do have more touring plans for next year? Yeah. Our touring plans are very much like Christmas presents that are wrapped, but you can basically see what they are. If you look carefully you can see the shape. And you can probably guess, "Oh this feels like a stadium". the reference to oasis just about confirms that it is wembley they are referring to. well unless he is talking about heaton park in manchester but i doubt that

if you look at the interview with chris on the official website, it just about confirms they are not playing knebworth but are doing wembkey stadium instead. would have loved knebworth but the idea of coldplay at wembley is very exciting!!
