7 April 2014 / submitted by Megan, United States of America Q. Hello Oraccle! What prompted the band to divert back to their original acoustic roots when making the new album? Coldplay is a band whose always been known for being "set apart" from other bands with their musical style. Why did they decide to go back rather than forward? THE ORACLE REPLIES > I don't see it as going back. Their debut album, Parachutes, was a very beautiful, simple piece of work but it didn't necessary define the band's future. They have managed to create 6 diverse albums with the common key factor - great songs. The styles have been different without losing the essence of what makes Coldplay, Coldplay. After Viva the band had intended to make a more acoustic album. Obviously you can hear from the end result that Mylo Xyloto took a different direction.

7 April 2014 / submitted by Roger, Netherlands Q. Hey O! I really want to go to the Pinkpop festival, but most of my friends don't have the time/money to go. My question is, is it weird to go to a festival on your own? Have you ever done it? Greets, Roger THE ORACLE REPLIES > Who defines what is weird and what is not? I've travelled to New York, L.A, Paris & many other places on my own. I have also been on holiday alone several times. There was one occasion where I went to Coachella for the day. I knew people once I got there but I'd travelled solo and wandered around exploring before I met anyone. I'd say a festival is the perfect place to go on your own because once you get there you will be surrounded by like-minded people all there for the same reason - to enjoy live music. I'm sure you will have a great time and make friends. The only thing I would strongly advise is that you take extra special care with your personal safety and the security of your personal possessions
