A few words about the show with some of my pics now up over here: http://rockshot.co.uk/19246/live-coldplay-indigo2/ SFK

Cheeetaz, Nattatouille, really great to meet you guys, fab queuing buddies! Sorry I lost you on the way in but I went to stand behind shorter people closer to Guy's position. Anyway, here are some of the pics I took at the show, enjoy! https://www.flickr.com/gp/somethingforkate/7siYZ6 SFK

Photo of the stage now up on Coldplay's twitter feed :) SFK

Coolio, thanks for checking! See you in the Slug later on. Will post on here with location if I can't find anyone from the board. Also, this just in from AXS Guest Services: Hi, War Child look forward to seeing you at tonight’s Coldplay gig at Indigo at The O2. The band are scheduled to go on stage after 11pm. Please note as this is a late show you should plan your return journey home in advance. Enjoy the show! The AXS team, on behalf of Indigo at The O2 SFK

I'm sure you'll be able to grab one on the spot, but you'll need to queue and pay black cab fares. That said, I might be waiting around for ages for my cab after the show has long since ended, so it's swings and roundabouts really. SFK

Right, just booked a cab to take me home, I gambled at 1:15am as they say latest cabs should be booked for 1:30am. I reckon the show will be over by 12:30-12:45am. SFK

It's inside the O2 complex but outside any of the O2 venues. It's still a public access service so hopefully they shouldn't be able to stop us going for a drink! We can but try. SFK

Shall we say The Slug & Lettuce across from the IndigO2? http://www.theo2.co.uk/assets/doc/The-O2-venue-map-2015-North-Greenwich.pdf I'll be the Indian guy that looks like this: SFK

Sounds like a plan guys, I'm on my own too so will head to the bar across the way from the IndigO2 from around 6:30/7pm and check-in with the board to see if anyone's around for a drink. SFK

IndigO2 twitter says: Access to @indigoatTheO2 for @Coldplay tomorrow will not be granted until 9PM. Thank you! Also: No support act! Just #coldplay guys. Apologies if the website is not updated. :( SFK

Hmmmmm, crap. This may make me change my plans. No point in getting there early only to be turned away. Grrrrr. SFK

I'll be sure to post when I get there. ETA 1pm. SFK

Wow, some earlier starts than mine! I'm currently sat at work just one tube stop from North Greenwich, getting excited! See y'all in line later on. SFK

I wouldn't have thought so. They have a massive world tour on the go, so planning festival slots around that has to be tricky. They'd planned the Wembley shows around Glasto, just as the Foos did last year, so it was pretty likely they'd be playing Glasto. Festival slots also take more casual fans away from their headline tour. Glasto is special, that sold out long before any acts were announced. SFK

Just booked a half day off at work, will aim to be down by 1pm. If anyone from the board is down, would be good to have folks to chat with to while away the hours! SFK

Who else for a Glasto headline slot this year? I'd love for the Foo Fighters to come and fill the slot they were forced to give up last year, but I reckon they may be next year's headliner. There will be a big rock act I'm sure, so if it's not the Foos, Muse are hotly-tipped. SFK

So Coldplay are the first confirmed headliners for Glasto 2016!! I have my ticket, anyone else going? SFK

Woo hoo, my ticket just appeared in my inbox :) SFK

Sorry, I really don't remember, it was a while back! The NME report says it kicked off well after 11pm as the acts had a distance to travel to the Shepherd's Bush Empire. That shouldn't be as big of an issue this time as the Brits are being held right next door. They played 11 songs in total, so I'd imagine about one hour. Hopefully it'll be an earlier start and longer set this time around. SFK

You're welcome! The IndigO2 show mirrors the 2009 SBE show as that one too was the same night as the Brits - all of the other War Child Passport to Brits week shows are on other nights. All the stars will be out so I should imagine there will be some special guests coming out both on stage and in the crowd, should be a good one! SFK

Right, have just booked the 25th to "work from home" so I don't have to wake up at 6am following this gig! What time is everyone getting down there? I'm on my tod for this one. I went to the post-Brits War Child show they played at the Shepherd's Bush Empire back in 2009 - photos: and it was fab! The Killers opened and they had Brandon Flowers and Bono come up as special guests ... as well as ... ahem ... Gary Barlow! Looking forward to it! SFK

I wouldn't worry about tickets too much. Wait until you're about to leave for the UK (as long as it's a good day or so beforehand). If they haven't arrived, call up gigsandtours and they will cancel any tickets they've already sent out and make reprints available at the box office for you to collect. SFK

Will anyone be recording/posting this? I'm now at another gig that night so won't be able to listen in. Also, the absolute radio site says they'll be broadcasting from 9pm: http://www.absoluteradio.co.uk/artists/Coldplay/article/4259-Hear+Coldplay+live+from+the+Royal+Albert+Hall Cheers, SFK

Hey guys, For all those lucky enough to grab tickets for this show, if you'd like to make some/all of your money back while still attending the show and have better seats than mine (circle, block R) - i.e. Arena floor / Stalls / Stage - please give me a shout. I'd really like to be closer to the band than my tickets will allow. Thanks, SFK

Folks, just putting it out there but for those guys who got tickets - I managed to finally get a pair of Circle block R tickets. If anyone with better seats fancies trading once in the venue, let me know your price. I'd love to be closer! Thanks, SFK
