your pics are great, think mine are as good as them except for my coldplay ones :( you can see album 1here and album 2 here

i was there the whole day too, to be honest ke$ha wasn't as bad as i thought she would be, mainly because she actually played an instrument, i was near the back for the rubberbandits with my mates and then they left and i got to the front from then on

looking at your video i think i was right next to you haha, i was between guy and chris too, were you next to a group of english/asian people there to see Beyonce? And my pics are awful. I have a really good camera and literally as they walked on stage it went dead on me and i had to use my camera phone :( typical eh

it really was an amazing night, where about were you for coldplay? and what did you think of of the whole weekend?

so he's just dedicating songs then to family members for no reason? if that's the case when he gets around to just random people, Chris dedicate a song to me!!! :D Also another thing i just remembered before they started singing Us Against The World Chris said 'this is a new song that maybe you'll like by next year.' So does this mean another delay to the release of the album or something else? :worried2:

^ lol, does anyone know if she's sick or something? It's not often they dedicate songs is it really

For those wondering, there were a lot of camera crew at the front of the stage and I asked one of them if it would be on TV. Anyway he told me MTV were showing it, I doubt it was live but look out for it sometime in the future. I suppose i'd better give a review and i won't be biased at all…… I went down to the main stage and stayed there all day so i could get to the front for coldplay and then I managed to get just one person away because the girl was waiting for beyonce. The crowd all day was lively and at times I was very scared, people were pushing and swaying and i saw at least 10 people passed over cos they were unconscious. Anyway when Beyonce finished the girl let me go in front of her and she left, I was at the front almost in line with the centre of the stage. I got a few pics of the stage being set up and then when the boys were coming on stage my camera decides to tell me the battery was flat :angry: typical haha. Anyway I love MX, the piano is so cool on it and then the way it leads into HLH is good too. Yellow sounded great and the crowd were bouncing, as it's already been said it sounded amazing in comparison to previous performances. The crowd were incredible, there was just this amazing overwhelming feel good atmosphere and it definitely got to the lads. The crowd sang along to all the songs, even to music of the new ones. Major Minus got a great reception. Whatever Johnny's been doing over the last couple of years it's worked because he has improved so much it's unbelievable. Shiver blew me away (I love love love the song, screw you guy!). Then when Everything's Not Lost came on I'll be man enough to admit I got in touch with my sensitive side and let out a tear or two, the sing along was the best i've heard it, I think every single person there must have sang along. Again Johnny owns the song with the guitar but as i've said in another thread it just gets to me when the song comes to it's penultimate oh yeah and the drums and guitar gets heavier. Chris then mislead everyone into thinking Life Is For Living was about to be played when he did the intro but then stopped and asked the crowd for 10 seconds and something special would happen. The crowd then counted down and then Chris introduced one of Irelands greatest folk singers to the stage, Christy Moore. Ride On received an incredible reception, as my mate said afterwards once Christy came on stage that's when it was obvious Coldplay had the crowd in the palm of their hand. Then after like a minute they came back on and played the usual encore. Clocks was amazing, seriously the boys managed to do all the songs on sunday night better than they had ever done them before and Clocks is a great example of it. Fix You was dedicated to Ava Champion who I thought might have been Wills wife but turns out it's his daughter. And again Fix You sounded different in comparison to other times. It was amazing and I felt such an amazing feeling in my heart when they started singing 'tears stream down on your face…' Then finally ETIAW came on and it was played with such happiness and joy that it was like a new song to me, by the end of the song i realised I had never felt this happy and amazed EVER in my life. There was something about the performance that just was different to all the others (including glasto). Others will disagree but I think sundays performance was the best one they have ever given and it was certainly the greatest thing i have seen, heard and experienced in my life and it will stay with me till the day I die.

they didn't, what it was is that the stream that was on wasn't showing coldplay but you could hear them in the background. The show ended and celebrity apprentice came on, it was a joke, you had to be there really ;) haha

everything's not lost is still there if that and shiver stay in the setlist then i could die a happy man haha

as much as i've enjoyed all the new stuff i'm an absolute sucker for any parachutes material that hasn't been played for years and years and years and years (basically imagine this being retyped for about an hour haha) especially when them songs are shiver and everything's not lost :) can't wait for sunday now!

good, that was the best setlist coldplay have ever had, i hope it stays the same EDIT: GPASUYF on now, the setlist is looking good :D

damn right he felt the hate the other night haha, i would have been mega pissed if they hadn't played it. Good to see the band discovered the majority rules rule haha

SHIVERS BACK!!!!!!! :D

Lost! being played now

4. Major Minus now

usual 1st three songs so far Hurts Like Heaven Yellow In My Place

so that means 9PM in the uk and ireland then?

You're All I Have - Snow Patrol

the entire and complete 5 minutes and 41 seconds of Open Your Eyes by Snow Patrol. No other song makes me feel the way that song does, I think it's Snow Patrol's most underrated and overlooked song they've ever written, produced and performed. Such a special song for me that if i could listen to just one song for the rest of my life i would easily choose that and never get fed up of it. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fk1Q9y6VVy0]YouTube - ‪Snow Patrol - Open Your Eyes‬‏[/ame] also just incase anyone says anything the video is 5.51 cos of the credit bit at the start and how the video ends :)

Last year the only coverage of the festival on tv was an half an hour show on the british channel 4 (which didn't do the festival any justice). Anyway RTE's 2FM are doing a lot of coverage this year, radio, web and sharing the live coverage with other european radio stations. Here's the link about it, hope it helps for finding a live stream or broadcast of next week for those interested :)

Every Planet We Reach Is Dead - Gorillaz

Editors

Shiver or Everything's Not Lost :D EDIT: and Amsterdam, don't ask me to choose because I couldn't but definitely one of them three tracks

Why thank you, i like to think of myself as an optimist :D If Guy does hate Shiver i'd be tempted to make a banner for next week and write something on it like 'Shiver hates you too Guy!' see if i get a response from him. haha

but that doesn't mean Guy hates the song Shiver, maybe it was the way they had to play it???
