if coldplay really did a 360 from the mx setlists to something like this, that would be completely amazing! i will drive/fly to as many concerts as i can if they tour north america in 2017!

would love a coldplay "making of" or recording documentary one day.. watch from 2:10 onwards [MEDIA=vimeo]157421205[/MEDIA] Mobile Link: https://vimeo.com/157421205

new chris interview with Brazilian media http://portalpopline.virgula.uol.com.br/entrevista-exclusiva-a-caminho-do-brasil-chris-martin-do-coldplay-fala-sobre-beyonce-nova-turne-e-possivel-pausa-da-banda/ [spoiler=translation] Exclusive Interview: The path of Brazil, Chris Martin, Coldplay, Beyoncé talks about, new tour and can break the band The POPLINE chatted with Chris Martin, lead singer of Coldplay, a few days before the arrival of the band in Brazil. Martin was really helpful and answered all our questions: Talked about Beyoncé, Noel Gallagher, awards, the band's future and, of course, on the disc tour "The Head Full Of Dreams" which arrives in São Paulo and Rio de January April. POPLINE - For us start this talk, I would like to mention that Coldplay just won the prize of NME 'Godlike Genius "award and the" Best British Group "at the BRIT Awards. How did you receive these two awards as important a few months after the lançamendo "A Head Full Of Dreams"?Chris Martin - Well, the truth is that we are so long there and we understand that sometimes you win prizes, sometimes you lose and awards in many people do not remember you. The awards in the real mean nothing, but it's really fun to win them haha. PL - haha and go in the party too, right? CM - Absolutely! It is wonderful! In fact, we love the awards, but we try not to give too important not to get too attached to the prizes, if you do not have to always take them into consideration, you know? PL - Yes of course ... You can not take it into account in relation to work, but welcome them and thank you for it. CM - Yes! You know, many people in the world are betting on lottery and nobody expects to win anything. This is how we feel about musical awards. We do our music, sometimes we win awards and that's great, but do not do it for the prize. If we would not be disappointed most of the time haha PL - Well, speaking of music that I do, remember that you said that "The Head Full Of Dreams" album would be a more hippie and all other records were like a journey to this. You still have this feeling for this work? CM - Yes! I have. Actually, I do not know. Haha I am proud of all our albums.We worked hard on all of them. I think in my mind, I always hope that we arrive at a place where we can feel completely free and I think with this album we achieved it. I do not know if this is the best album or the most popular, but for me to get to "The Head Full Of Dreams" is very important because we talk about things on the album that always wanted to talk. PL - How do you differentiate this album from the others, after all Coldplay has undergone a major evolution, musically speaking, then how do you explain these changes? CM - Well, I think because of the time we live in , we tried to use all styles and sounds. Regarding the lyrics of this album, I could not have written these songs ten years ago ... To get these songs, I lived many things, many readings ... You know? PL - Of course. As a person and composer you change a lot and this is reflected in his art and his music. CM - Exactly! The person who wrote the things of the first album is a different person than I am now. I was a young boy and I am now an old man hahaha PL - not that old! Haha Regarding collaborations in "The Head Full Of Dreams"; in the past we worked with Rihanna and now we have seen in the credits Beyonce and Tove Lo. How were these partnerships, as happened? CM - As ... Hmm good, sometimes when I'm writing a song, a person appears in my head and I think, 'Wow, it would be nice if that person could sing' and sometimes it's like the music will be shaping. In reality, when you write a song and think of a person, is it!There is no way to change. In the case of Beyonce, have been friends for a long time and of course, it is one of the best singers of the earth ... I was just waiting for the right song to invite her to sing. PL - You also worked with Noel Gallagher on the track "Up & Up" and remember that you said that the new album would influence artists you like a lot, "Oasis of the Drake." How was working alongside Noel, I believe you are a fan of Oasis? CM - Yes, of course! Noel know personally for a long time and it's the same thing ... It's very good to pay tribute to someone you like so much. PL - Well, it was a big media frenzy when you said that "The Head Full Of Dreams" could be the last Coldplay album. This idea is something that has really taken into consideration or just a redesign launches, for example in other formats as EPs or singles only? CM - No ... the truth is I do not know! I do not know ... I think that this record took so long to be done and we are so excited about the tour, which really do not know what will be the future. Maybe we will have a new album and maybe we will have nothing more. I really do not know. Now we have this album, just released ... Make sense? PL - Of course! You are focused, working on "The Head Full Of Dreams" now. The future is uncertain, it may have a new album or not. CM - Yes! At this point we are so excited about this album and tour and all the wonderful countries that we visit ... I do not want to think too much "forward". PL - You will come to Brazil next month for a stadium tour sold out. Are you excited to come here and you expect this enthusiasm of Brazilian fans? CM - No, did not expect that! You know, we've been in Brazil many times and most people will tell you the same thing about South America. The people there make you feel like part of the people, it is a wonderful feeling. I do not know exactly what happens, but it is something related to people 's behavior when they are together in groups, such as football games and concerts ... You know how to have fun! When you are English, like me, you do not always know how to have fun. haha PL - is a very different atmosphere, is not it? CM - Yes, of course! We are also excited to play there in the year of the Rio Olympics! It will be very cool, I feel very honored. PL - The people here are also very excited by the arrival of Coldplay! Well, the last live performances of the band, as the Super Bowl and the BRITS, we saw that look impressive with flowers and bright colors. We'll have it here too? How will the tour in terms of stage and structure? CM - All I can say is that if you like Coldplay, will be a good show. We will also have all the tricks, all the colors, lights, fireworks and all that stuff ... PL - And the setlist? We will hear the classic Coldplay? CM - Definitely! See you there!

finally the day the coldplay tour starts is here! been 4 years! :bliss:

i was going through something nasty tonight, but then seeing a 15s clip of chris being very kind to a random fan can make you calm down. now time to go listen to some coldplay b-sides in the dark.

this is beautiful! [MEDIA=twitter]715310095375147008[/MEDIA] Mobile Link: https://twitter.com/coldplaying/status/715310095375147008 [MEDIA=twitter]715310533965176836[/MEDIA] Mobile Link: https://twitter.com/coldplaying/status/715310533965176836

from a joe biden interview: For many people, music is the soundtrack to the best and worst moments of their lives. Which songs or artists stand out for you? Chris Martin from Coldplay stands out. I appreciated when he sang my son's [beau] favorite song, "Til Kingdom Come," at his funeral. x

btw, here is an interview chris did with a south american media just before the tour http://www.clarin.com/extrashow/musica/Chris-Martin-Coldplay-enfocamos-hacemos_0_1549045515.html

Can I... Just maybe a little... Be hopeful that the leaked setlist is maybe possible???? I'd forgive a lot of the generic, uninspired latter songs if so!

nah! only 7 new songs? and so many b-sides? can't be.

i like how the fans are giving the whole band a grand welcome! they always do in south america i have noticed! chris is the one in hiding. no pics of him except one pic at the airport when he landed.

aww.. smiley jonny is the most popular guy in argentina!

w, j, c - "OMG!!! guy talks???!!!!!!"

welcome to coldplaying :)

usually i'm against coldplay having special guests. look what happened with the super bowl. totally eclipsed coldplay. BUT in the case of headlining glasto for the 4th time (!!!!!) they have to do something special. they have had their moments to shine all three previous times. performed alone, as coldplay, and they were all fantastic performances. so i'm aboard with guests to up the ante for the fourth (first time a headliner headlining for the fourth time). i like bee gees. now let's see how this turns out! i'm all for the less (modern) poppy people joining coldplay. we've had plenty of those crossovers and i've had more than enough.

he tour is sooooo close! [MEDIA=instagram]BDV1V7mJeJy[/MEDIA] Mobile Link: https://www.instagram.com/p/BDV1V7mJeJy/
