Viva_La_Coldplay

Australia please! But my other request might be something that's out of the band's control, being that the stage does not have a VIP zone that only a few fans can get into if they pay extra. Lots of artists are doing them now and it's not fair to put the fans who missed out on/can't afford VIP tickets back a bit further to fit that section in! Please please please avoid it if possible!

Live 2014 review I think the extras on Live 2014 are particularly good. I watched the film for the first time yesterday and although I'm sure a lot of us have seen the film before, having the unseen extras makes it feel really worth buying. The extended Magic video is absolutely superb. I can see how the band obviously wanted to make it a short film, rather than a music video, and the song itself really benefits from having that extra few minutes on either side of what we'd already seen. That extra time has allowed us to see that the story is being told by Chris' character in the future. Basically he's a master of magic and he's telling us how that came to be. At the end he asks which one he is - as in, is the character we see in the future the good guy or bad guy? It sort of made me think a little deeper about Magic itself, it's taken on quite a different meaning for me now: I feel like the end (which I won't give away) might even be symbolic of Chris' prediction of his own future. That only makes me love Magic even more! It was also wonderful to see the music video in colour. Everyone is going to love it! Probably my favourite part on the dvd was the inclusion of Ink live from RAH. The effects and lights look absolutely stunning, and I feel this live version is actually better than the studio recording. As soon as it started my heart jumped into my throat. It's so, *so* achingly beautiful. It will be especially wonderful for the fans who were lucky enough to be there that night! It would be great if we could get a full film of just the RAH show, I think many will agree. From the looks of Ink, it would translate absolutely incredibly to film. Live 2014 rounds off the Ghost Stories era. It's been so different to any era that's passed. I mean, we've basically had an era start and end in the same year, and the emotion that has come with it has been so much more raw - and obvious - than anything we've had before. It seems fitting to have ended such a different time with a different type of film, more arty than Live 2003 or 2012. It's almost like they wanted to throw in a few extras to make the fans know they haven't forgotten how much we love those live clips! I love how unique it is and the inclusion of so many great extras. I can't wait to see how this takes them into LP7.

Hmm... Interesting take.. I'd say album in May though.

Thank you! :cheesy:

I finished my pages for Scrappy today, I hope you all like them! :wacky: Page 1... And page 2... I'll be posting him off to his next destination tomorrow :cheesy:

Look who just arrived in Drysdale, Victoria, Australia :cheesy:

Well that's exactly the reason I asked people to scan it/take a photo of it. Besides, if we're getting it bound into a book, people would have to send them to me and I live in Australia. The idea was it's not expensive for people to join up.

Yay! I'm glad :D Ok cool! Yes, definitely include art. I'd like that! Hmm, yeah I wondered what ever happened to that... Well don't worry, I'll follow through with this project ;)

Hey guys :) I'm starting a little Coldplay art project I thought some of you may like to join in with: a book of letters to Coldplay. Fans come from everywhere around the globe. We sit in our bedrooms, loungerooms, bathrooms, kitchens, cars, buses, trains, trams, classrooms, offices and shops and listen to the music that five men from Britain have made for us. And we listen to this music in every corner of the earth; simply soaking in the amazingness of Coldplay. If a Coldplayer from Buenos Aires and a Coldplayer from Paris met, they may not speak the same tongue, but they certainly would speak the same language: MUSIC. You don't need to be from the same country to share the love you have for Coldplay. And this is what amazes me from day to day about Coldplay fans. We are accepting of all walks of life. The fandom wouldn't be the same without our passion and enthusiasm. So, I aim to get letters from Coldplayers all over the world and have them bound into a book. In September (when I visit London), I will do everything within my power to get this book to at least one of the members of Coldplay. If I meet them, I will take a photo of them with the book - just so we have some evidence! But even if I don't meet them, I'll try and give it to someone from their crew. And if the band themselves don't actually read it or get it? I don't think it matters. Fact is we have a hard-copy of a book full of Coldplayer passion and love :P I would really love it if you'd like to join up. The deadline for submitting letters is July 10th 2013, so if you want to write a letter you have plenty of time! Below are the guidelines that you should try and follow when writing your letter: - the size needs to be one side of an A4 page to keep it neat! - it would be more personal if you hand wrote the letter. I will of course accept typed letters, but hand-written is better :) - you should write in English. It would make it easier for the band to read. If your English isn't great, that's ok! I'm sure we'll understand what you're trying to say. - at the bottom of the page please write these things: your name, your city, your country, your online names (e.g. Twitter, Tumblr, Instagram). If you don't feel comfortable including these details you can leave them out :) Once you've finished your letter, you can scan it or take a high quality photo of it, and send it to my project's email address, which is: [email protected] Also, if you're a bit of an arty kind of person, I'm thinking about doing an art section of the book. The artworks can be of anything Coldplay related. They can be paintings, drawings, poems, Photoshop edits, etc. Anything goes really! Same thing as the letters: please scan them/take a photo of them, and send them to that email address. Pretty sure that's it... if you have any questions, ask away! Thanks heaps guys! I hope some of you write letters for our boys :D From April xx

Just thought I'd pop in to express my opinion... It's very sad news about the miscarriage, but as people have been saying, it's clearly made their relationship stronger if anything. It seems pretty likely it would've happened in '08, the fact she was willing to talk about it would suggest it didn't happen recently. But boy, am I sick of people on Twitter/Instagram going on about "Pray for the Martins" etc. Yes, quite clearly it was difficult for them, but I really don't think that's necessary. Don't get me wrong. I love Chris and Gwyneth. But if she wanted all that sympathy she would've made a massive thing of it. Hope I'm not coming across as too bitchy, but y'know. Some fangirls are just being so dramatic about the whole thing.

DO IT :mellow:

Yo, I'm back :D and I bring with me a new chapter of my story... soon :mellow:

This is bizarre... I like it :mellow:

An interesting read... it does help to look into another person's opinion. But I guess it's all up to interpretation isn't it?

Ahhh November. What a month for Coldplay and company. The Australasian tour, Live 2012, the announcement (and subsequent postponement) of the Latin American tour, the announcement of the US shows with Jay-Z, possible name for LP6, the “three year hiatus”… Oh the drama! Game Of Thrones The wonderfully busy month began with the announcement of Will Champion’s appearance in the TV series Game Of Thrones in 2013. Apparently he is going to play well… er… a drummer. March 31 2013 is the airing date for the USA. Could this be the start of an acting career for Mr Champion? Only time will tell… Blog no. 1 Roadie #42 graced us with his presence for the first time in November on the 6th, with tales from the mile high club. Quite literally, as he was quite high in the air. 30,000 feet in the air. WiFi on a plane? A thing of the future. Live 2012 reviews Reviews were starting to pop up all about the place for the imminent release of Coldplay’s Live 2012 DVD. Generally the media feedback was quite good. Digital Spy, for example gave it a quite wonderful 5 stars out of 5! “F*** the haters, f*** the critics and f*** modesty.” Amen. Blog no. 2 The next Roadie #42 blog that appeared on Coldplay.com came from the first stop on the band’s touring schedule: Auckland. And what a doozey it was. The most significant story of this blog was the arrival of Coldplay to Mt.Smart Stadium, straight after their plane landing in New Zealand, and going full pelt into a sound check. Albeit one with a “giggly, daft air”. Clearly the sheer exhaustion from a 28 hour flight had sent them a little insane. The blog also featured the positively charming Mr Anthony Martin (Mr Christopher Martin’s father), who was seen playing cricket with Phil Harvey. An interesting tidbit from Auckland was Chris testing a song back from the studio days at the soundcheck. Of course this caused quite a stir amongst the Coldplayers. A new song you say? Seeing as though we haven’t had a new one since October 2011 when Mylo was released this certainly was exciting news! Mt Smart Stadium, Auckland, New Zealand, 10.11.2012 “You've come through the traffic and the ticket prices and we're so grateful, in return we're going to try to play the best f***ing concert of our lives.” Setlist It would seem the only bad thing to be said from the media on the Auckland show was that the sound was muddy and the vocals were mostly unintelligible. But hey, it’s Coldplay. We all know what was being sung. So that would’ve been extra reason for fans to sing every word at the top of their lungs! Overall, another fabulous gig, and despite a bit of jetlag, the boys slogged it out to a very receiving New Zealand audience. And did it look like they hadn’t played a show in 6 weeks? No. No it didn’t. Announcement of 3 US shows - with Jay-Z! November 11th brought to us the announcement of the band’s three new shows: in Connecticut on December 29, in New York on December 30 and a New Year’s Eve show with none other than rapper Jay-Z. (Again). This was very exciting news for New York fans, as it marked the first shows in the state since the X&Y tour in September 2005. And with Jay-Z set to join them onstage on New Year’s Eve it should prove to be a very good (and very busy!) few days for the band and fans alike. Announcement of Latin American tour! Coldplay.com finally officially confirmed seven shows in Brazil, Argentina, Chile and Mexico for February 2013 on the 13th. It followed months of speculation in the media and on the forums that the band were due back in Latin America early 2013. 05.02.2013 - Estadio do Morumbi, Sao Paulo, Brazil 07.02.2013 - Estadio do Zequinha, Porto Alegre, Brazil 09.02.2013 - Estadio Unico de la Plata, Buenos Aires, Argentina 12.02.2013 - Estadio Monumental, Santiago, Chile 15.02.2012 - Foro Sol, Mexico City, Mexico 18.02.2013 - Estadio 3 de Marzo, Guadalajara, Mexico 19.02.2013 - Estadio Universitario, Monterrey, Mexico Unfortunately, as we all know, this tour was later postponed (not cancelled) on the 16th. Are the Grammy’s the cause of this? Quite possibly. Etihad Stadium, Melbourne, Australia, 13.11.2012 “We’ve got the best fans in the world, I don’t care what anyone says.” Setlist The first show of the Australian leg, and WOW was it amazing! The craziest fan from Melbourne camped out overnight, and she was with me when we ran in and got barrier right in front of Guy. The sound had improved remarkably from Auckland and that was probably thanks to the perfect shape of the stadium. The chants travelled extremely well around it too! The band were on great form for the whole night and had clearly gotten into a bit more sleep since the previous show. Overall, a fantastic show. The fireworks, the lasers, the confetti, the balloons… as theage.com put perfectly: “Coldplay don’t do subtle. Nor should they.” Perhaps the understatement of the century, but we get what they mean. Tweets @jayreg1969: “Thanks Melbourne for having us, what a great crowd, very Loud, lots energy, so much could feel floor bouncing during Charlie Brown.” @coldplay: “Melbourne & Auckland audiences were out of this world; thankyou!!!! CM” Live 2012 is screened worldwide in cinemas A rare treat for Coldplayers around the globe on the 13th and 14th was the chance to see our boys on the big screen, with Coldplay Live 2012 being shown in cinemas. It went down very well. Very well indeed. The general consensus from media and fans was that it was an emotion charged 90 minutes, and the surround sound and huge screen made it feel like you were right back there again. Studio time in Sydney? As mentioned in #42’s blog, the band squeezed in some studio time while in Sydney. How they managed to do that and all the other things they had lined up perplexes me to this day. @coldplay: “My view from in the studio in Sydney.” The Sunrise gig, Sydney, Australia, 15.11.2012 “Supermodels are not paid enough in this country and we are going to take a stand on this.” Setlist Ahhh, the Sunrise gig. Those were the days. Gates opened at a horrendous 5:30am for a 6:30am start. My two friends and I read on the tickets: “gates open at 5:30am. We recommend you arrive early.” We thought this meant “people will be camping out all night, it’s going to be crazy, lots of crazy fans.” So we showed up, with no sleep all night, at 12am. We were the first ones there. Surprised? We were shocked. First in line. The crew were still there testing all the lights but there wasn’t a single other fan in sight. Anyway, so when the band finally took to the (very small) stage at 7:30am, they looked exhausted. Will and Jonny in particular seemed as though they could’ve used another hour or so sleep. But they played their four songs with full gusto regardless. Just before they played Charlie Brown, Chris was kind enough to pop down in front of the barrier to greet a select few of us. He shook my hand. The conversation went as follows: Chris: “what’s your name?” Me: “April!” Chris: “April? That’s a lovely name.” Me: “THANK YOU.” Chris: “are you coming to any of our other shows?” Me: “I’m going to all the shows you’re playing in Australia!” Chris: “wow, that’s incredible!” Me :*dies inside* Chris: *indicates to my painted shirt* “did you paint that yourself?” Me: “YES.” Chris: “that’s great, we paint all our own shit too.” Me: “I know, you’re amazing!” He shook my hand again and then went back to the stage, saying “I have to go back to work”. Pretty good job if you ask me. After this, an interview with Chris and Jonny hinted that the band have already got a name for LP6. And it’s going to be a pronounceable one too! Success for all the interviewers in the world! [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9mDFfBdA04]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9mDFfBdA04[/ame] Tweets @coldplay: “Chris's dad being interviewed on Australian telly, total superstar. R42” Allianz Stadium, Sydney, Australia, 17.11.2012 “If you’re the age of 19 you’ve gotta jump jump jump!” Setlist The first fan arrived at 2:30am. The organization of the line for general admission was terrible. But the show was incredible. Definitely the loudest crowd of the tour. We had the addition of a beautiful cover of Rocket Man, mainly because Elton John just happened to be touring Australia at the same time and just happened to be in attendance of the Coldplay show that night. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=89Pa4Xh1Meg]Coldplay - Rocket Man (Elton John cover) @ Allianz Stadium, Sydney 17/11/12 - YouTube[/ame] Just incredible. The band were feeding off the energy from the crowd. Great show. Even from high up in seating where I was, it was still perfection. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pocf3otrDDs&feature=youtu.be Tweets @oxfamontour: “I've never heard a crowd sign back a song so loud and so for long. Well done Sydney you won hands down!! Amazing!” @jayreg1969: “SYDNEY crowd tonight was awesome and LOUD!!” Allianz Stadium, Sydney, Australia, 18.11.2012 “I would like to thank that little boy [who compared him to Angus Stone] for making me feel like a million dollars all the way down to two.” Setlist This time I was first in line, at 4:30am. Worth it? Absolutely. Barrier in front of Guy again! Yet another amazing show, not quite the same energy in the crowd as the 17th, but still incredible. At the end of the show Chris kissed the stage. 4 gigs down, 1 to go! Tweets @coldplay: “Dave and me and the band. PH” @jayreg1969: “what a great night again Sydney, thanks for having us, it was a blast !!!” @jayreg1969: “just before show time” @jayreg1969: “getting packed up ! Good bye Sydney !!!” Live 2012 is go! By this point in the month, Live 2012 was out everywhere, and everyone was enjoying the first live film since Live 2003. The film went down very well with the critics too it would seem. Contact Music wrote: “While the more cynical members of the record buying public may not view Coldplay as being 'cool', even they couldn't deny that Live 2012 is somewhat of a triumph.” While for Coldplayers it seemed to be an emotional rollercoaster, especially if you’d seen the MX tour. But overall most seemed impressed and amazed by the spectacular compilation of Coldplay’s hits performed live, and all packed onto the one dvd! Suncorp Stadium, Brisbane, Australia, 21.11.2012 “Thank you for giving us the best job in the world.” Setlist The last show of the tour brought with it a great energy from the band (yet again). And once again Chris promised that they’d play “the best fucking show of your life”. And while it may not have been the best in Coldplay history, it certainly was a fantastic end. Without a doubt. I was on the barrier in front of Guy again and it was just splendid. Oh, and Chris burped during Us Against The World again. It was cute. “God put a smile upon your face, 50,000 Queenslanders in one place.” With a quick cover of My Happiness by Powderfinger, Chris added: “we miss you Powderfinger”. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JPbdwK4r00M]Coldplay - My Happiness (Powderfinger Tribute) Brisbane 21Nov2012 - YouTube[/ame] And then, as if the media didn’t have enough to go crazy about, he said: “this is our last big show for three years or so.” I was there. He didn’t mean they’re going on a hiatus. He meant they’re not touring Australia again for three years. And when he said “I don’t want to stop”? He was referring to the singalong at the end of Paradise. Not touring. Just saying that for the record. But regardless of that, it was a phenomenal show. A phenomenal show and a phenomenal tour. Just perfect. Tweets @jayreg1969: “Last Show of the 2012 MX Tour :( Tonight !! I hope going be a great show !” @coldplay: “Just finished in Brisbane: thank you to that and all of the other amazing audiences we have had recently. We are very grateful. CM” @jayreg1969: “its a wrap !!!! BRISBANE was amazing!! Great way end the Stadium shows 2012” Chris Martin says: “3 year hiatus is rubbish” The Daily Star reported on November 30: “Coldplay fans have got an early Christmas present: the band is secretly working on a new album.” Er… well, yeah? Didn’t we already know that? Doesn’t make it very secret does it? Have Coldplay ever stopped writing altogether? Pretty much no. So I don’t think anyone was surprised when Chris explained the three year break thing was regarding the fact that world tours generally do take that long to come back to a country. Of course the band aren’t on a “break”. Calm down fangirls. Calm down. Miscellaneous facts - Coldplay Live 2012 enters the charts at number 1 in the UK! - Guy tries to track down the previous owners of a Maserati 3500GT. Can you help? http://www.coldplay.com/newsdetail.php?id=1178 - The free Mylo Xyloto art exhibition opens in London in support of Kid’s Company. I hope you all enjoyed November. I know I did. And I'm sure the boys did too. Apologies for the lack of embedded videos. My safari said "no, I'm going to crash if you try to do that." :confused:

Got my package this morning! So happy!! :D Massive thanks to Katja from Germany for my awesome card and stickers! You're the best! :awesome: And thanks for the piece of German confetti too! ;)

I'll do November, seeing as though I went to every show on the Australian tour :awesome:

So I went to the gig and MY GOD WAS IT AMAZING : bigcry: here is my story of everything that happened. It was FUCKING AWESOME OK SO: I flew to Sydney from Melbourne on Wednesday night for the intimate Sydney gig. I got to the hotel at about 11:20pm and my friends and I left at 11:45pm to go to the venue - the Sydney Opera House! It was awesome seeing the Harbour Bridge and the Opera House all lit up at 12am. We walked to the back of the venue and that's where we saw them testing the lights on the stage. And WE WERE THE FIRST ONES THERE!!! We hung around (not sleeping the whole night!!) until some other people showed up at 3am. Gates opened at 5:30am and I was first at the barrier! Yay! :D so then there was a whole heap of tv crews filming me and my friends cos we'd been there so long, we got interviews 4 times!! Just before they came on i saw Phil upstairs on the balcony so I waved to him and said "hi Phil!!!" and he waved back!! So the band came on at 7:30 and when J,G & W came on first. When Guy took his spot I waved at him and he smiled at me :D *dead*. Then Chris came on and they did a small soundcheck of Yellow and CB. Just before they played Yellow for filming, they were all wandering around waiting for it to go live and Chris jumped down off the stage and started talking to someone down from me. He then went back towards the stage and said "I have to go to work". Then they did a pan of the audience and I saw Chris look at my sign (which said g'day Chris, Will, Jonny, Guy and Phil). So I was like "hi Chris!" And he came over to me!!! He shook my hand and this was the conversation: "what's your name?" "April!" "April? That's a lovely name." "THANK YOU" "are you coming to the other shows on the weekend?" "I'm going to all the shows you're playing in Australia!" "Wow, that's amazing! Did you paint that shirt yourself?" "Yes I did!" "That's great, we paint all our own shit too". Then when he was about to walk away he shook my hand again with both of his hands and said to enjoy the show. When I looked down at my hand, there was a little splodge of spray paint that had come off his hand!!! :D AMAZING!!!! So then they played Charlie, Viva & Paradise and just before Viva I called out "we love you Will!!" To which he laughed shyly and Chris said "he's too shy to say it but he loves you too. Right Will?" Will nodded. Then Chris was like "even though you think they [the whole band] don't know, they know. Cos the truth is they love you too" and the ENTIRE BAND were looking at me and laughing!!!! DEAD!!!!! So yeah, that was pretty much it for the gig, which was effing awesome might I add! That night we saw Phil walking past and we waved to him. I didn't go up for a photo or anything as he was pushing a pram. But he waved, smiled and said hello which was brilliant enough! :) all in all, it was a fucking awesome gig, and I'm so glad I won tickets cos now the whole of Coldplay know who I am!!! Photos (they're massive!) Band just after they came onstage at 7:30am Chris meeting some fans just down from me Chris meeting me!! Excuse the stupid look on my face, I was totally fangirling :lol: Jonny smiling at me!! :D Chris and Jonny being ADORABLE Guy being super fucking sexy (as usual) And Mel, Guy, Chris and Will (pretty much the only decent pic of Will I got!) Again, sorry about the size! I uploaded them from my phone so I couldn't resize them :lol:

He was playing the guitar, I was front and centre so I should know!! No, he was defs playing :)

OH MY GOD THAT'S ME!!!! :bigcry: I'm the one on his right, wearing the blue dress. Don't we make a perfect couple?? :lol: oh he was so freaking handsome. Here is my story: So we were just shopping and buying some stuff and we were walking along past some shops and then I looked across at two people walking past. Thought to myself "hey he's handsome" then did a complete double take: THERE WAS GUY BERRYMAN WALKING PAST ME!!! He was with Keshia and so we stopped and they went down an escalator to a coffee shop. When they sat down at a table we decided to only ask for a photo cos we thought it would be disrespectful to ask for anything else. So we went over and just said "excuse me, we massive fans, do you mind if we have a photo?" And he said "yeah sure". So I stood next to him and put my arm around him and he put his arm around me. He smelt SPECTACULAR. I gave Keshia my phone and she took the photo. Unfortunately she was really nice, and she took two photos, we thanked Guy, and we left. We walked around the corner and I burst into tears :lol: After a while they walked past behind us and when I turned around Keshia was holding onto Guy's arm. She turned around and looked right at me. And it wasn't a "you're a fan, that's cute" kind of way, it was a "he's mine" kind of way. I like to think she felt intimidated!!! :awesome: God he is so fucking gorgeous. Photos don't do him justice. He is absolutely stunning. And I was leaning against him and he leant into me and my boob was against his chest and now my cardigan smells like him! God, best freaking day of my life.

I just got home. That was the best gig I've ever been to. I'm still crying. Ok, so the day went as follows: I got there at 5:50am and there were 5 other people in line before me. One girl called Alice had camped overnight! I met Mel there which was splendid, she really is amazing, and we sat together and planned our day of getting barrier :) Security stuffed us around a lot (unsurprisingly) and come 5:30 and the gates opened they'd put us in 5 lines, Mel and I being at the front of the first one, hence meaning we were the first ones into Etihad stadium!! :dance: She ran straight to Jonny's side but I stayed over Guy's (cos I'm a crazy Berrygirl :lol:) So I got smack bang in the middle of the front of the stage with Alice. I was in front of Guy and sort of across from Chris. Could only see Will for Viva though :( The Pierces were great, and the Temper Trap were also good :) When 99 Problems started playing, it hit me. I was seeing Coldplay. As in the band who I meticulously stalk everyday of my life. The Xylobands started flashing and was it. I literally died inside. And I'm proud to say I was the first one to scream when the band came onstage!! :dance: When they started playing Hurts Like Heaven and the fireworks were going off and it was all crazy, I stopped jumping. I just stood there not believing what I was seeing in front of me. If you've seen this tour you'll know exactly what I mean. There's this weird surreal feel about it. Those 4 people you only see in photos are standing there in front of you with lights and fireworks going off everywhere. I thought I was dreaming quite honestly. And, as usual, the band were beautiful and happy, and genuinely seemed to be enjoying themselves! And don't even get me started on the Xylobands!! They look so much better in person than they do in photos!! I screamed out a marriage proposal to Mr Berryman (which I doubt he didn't hear, it was really loud!!). But nothing came of that unfortunately :bigcry: But then during Fix You we made eye contact. It was just for a second. I glanced across and he glanced across and our eyes met. I looked at Guy Berryman and he looked back at me. I actually haven't come to terms with that yet. I'm trying to be calm but it ain't working :lol: I also made eye contact with Chris during Every Teardrop when he was doing one of those little "I'm going to stare at random people and freak them out" moments. He smiled at me as if to ask "are you having a good time?" to which I responded "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I LOVE YOU OH MY GOD". It was a beautiful moment :D Also made eye contact with Jonny-boy when they were saying their goodbyes, he was clapping and gave me a big grin. What a sweetheart! :wacky: So I left with a stack of confetti, a popped balloon, very sore feet, and crying my eyes out :lol: The setlist was pretty much the same as the other gigs of this tour: Mylo Xyloto Hurts Like Heaven In My Place Major Minus Lovers In Japan The Scientist Yellow Violet Hill God Put A Smile Princess Of China Up In Flames Warning Sign A Hopeful Transmission Don't Let It Break Your Heart Viva La Vida Charlie Brown Paradise Encore Us Against The World Speed Of Sound Second Encore Clocks Fix You Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall (I have photos but will upload them later, I'm exhausted! ;)) I seriously can't sum up in words how amazing this show was. It didn't feel real it was so good. I want to take a moment to thank the boys for making such an effort to really create a down right FUCKING AWESOME live show. They were better than anyone I've ever seen before in my life. They were simply fantastic. If you haven't seen them on this tour then I'm sorry for you. Because this is truly the most amazing thing I've ever witnessed. Hands down. Love love love. Thank you Coldplay. I will now go to bed crying and dream of you until I see you on Thursday :)

Well ladies and gents, it's the big day tomorrow. COLDPLAY IN MELBOURNE IS GOING TO BE CRAZY :vuvuzela: Everyone excited???!!! I know I am!! :dance: :dance: :dance:

I would say they'd come on about 8:45/9pm. That's just going off how all the other shows ran during this tour :) it might finish 10:30-11pm?

If I were you I'd print off the transaction summary just in case. You shouldn't have any problems picking up tickets but I'd do it just to be sure :)
