Hello, Well, I get the feeling that this break is going to last longer than expected, as I thought in 2025. The end of the tour was a bit weird with those roadies whose contracts ended without any plans for a future tour. I'm also surprised by one thing (in a positive way): Chris seems to be spending a lot more time in London since his breakup, seemingly "reconnecting" with his roots. I know it's his life and none of my business, but I think his musical influences have changed quite a bit since he moved to LA permanently. Meanwhile, it's radio silence from Guy, which is pretty rare; he's usually always doing things on the side. Then again, there were those listening sessions for a completely finished album... It's really bizarre. I'm probably wrong, but I have a hard time believing that the tour as we knew it will resume. It's really the kind of tour produced to make cash and it must honestly be exhausting and tiresome.

Look like the london intimate concert took place at Abbey Road Institute in a very intimate ambiance. At least one track played was a very old reworked track, so I think the theory about the final album being "COLDPLAY" holds water.

Yeah i remember. I actually started a petition back in the day to get a live version released, and it got a lot of traction. But the band reached out and said they wouldn't be doing it because they didn't have a high-quality capture of the performance. A short demo of Viva la Vida was published on youtube in 2010 (like 2 minutes) from the caption company. t's a shame because, having been to every tour since 2008, I can say it was their best tour, better than the recent ones.

Moon music is less bad compared to MOTS but, I think they could have made just a double album with MOTS/MM like EL. And then it was released in the middle of a tour, so the promotion was necessarily much lighter.

Let's be honest: we feel that this tour was mainly a cash cow to replenish the coffers significantly, both for Coldplay and all its partners like Live Nation. It was very massive and optimized with a kind of micro-residence.

Yes i remember, but i know one things with Chris : he is not reliable in these announcements, it may have been the plan in 2025 but with them everything can change quickly unless it is really contractual.

Hello there, I'm very suprised by the two intimate studio sessions, this is somewhat the opposite of everything we've seen with MOTS, which was ultra-commercial and "ultra-maximized," versus events with no media coverage or social media posts. It seems the "commercial then intimate" cycle is starting up again. Things seem simpler, and the fact that they're working together again in London is cool. I wonder if MOTS tour will return with the same massive turnout we saw before; personally, I don't think so.

Wow, good catch Gideon !

Yeah that announced a will ago now : https://www.coldplay.com/supports-announced-for-this-summers-uk-dates/

Oh and im very surprised by the return of DAAHF, Isn't it the perfect farewell song? I was lucky enough to experience the VIVA tour, and the finale with DAAHF was truly the most magical I’ve ever witnessed. So come over, just be patient and don’t worry...

I think a lot of the "old players" would come out of hibernation if the band ever did tours that were more focused on music than show. Believe me, they've lost quite a few people along the way — though certainly not as many as they've gained in fans over the past 10 years. That said, I don’t think the band is capable of going back to smaller venues anymore — they’ve become so popular... And, i mean, do they really want it ? Personally, this search for nostalgia worries me a bit. From the very start of the MOTS tour, I noticed how massive and almost never-ending it this tour. Everything seems designed to maximize the tour, and I feared right away that the band might be "filling up before going into hibernation for a long time"... This "Wembley" seems to confirm that fear. Tonight... Speed of Sound 3x iAAM MOON MUSiC Coloratura Death and All His Friends There is no longer any doubt that they're preparing something — these multiple soundchecks seem to be recording backing tracks for upcoming shows.

Yeah tbut oo many differents songs at Toronto now, there must be a story behind all this. Honestly, I'm a bit pessimistic. I have the feeling that after Wembley we're going to have a very long period of hibernation and that this is Coldplay's way of saying "good night" https://x.com/hayleystjames/status/1943772767004106883 https://x.com/hayleystjames/status/1943767601748094982 Look like they’re trying to come up with a daahf/iaam transition... So that concrete. The common point between all these tracks is that they’re instrumental — Chris must be playing something, right? So this orchestra story is starting to make sense.

True ! and maybe others at Las Vegas but not listened because indoor stadium. Today : Church Death and All His Friends iAAM Strawberry Swing Champion of the world WTF

Hello, Have you seen all those old songs being played during soundchecks since the beginning of the American leg? It’s probably the most exciting thing I’ve heard from Coldplay in many years... Do you think it’s for something special at Wembley? - Warning Sign - Square One - Violet Hill - Speed of sound - Shiver - Lovers in japan - Hurts like Heaven - Orphans - Daddy - AHFOD 🤩

delete please

To be honest look like a new method of industrial music to push up album in charts. The Tortured Poets Department from Taylor Swift have followed the same pattern with a deluxe version.

it was right before our eyes 😂

What a work with Jon Hopkins... Listen Moon Music then 🌈 then A wave... Wow, need an album full of these things, it's like an EP inside the album

Aeterna and We Pray are good, but not really suited for this album, unlike MITM or A Wave. With these two tracks and also Shine On, the album would have a creative texture similar to the VIVA album.

Someone can ask to debs to replace Max Martin by this guy ? Great version man !
