Good question which could maybe be answered by any Portuguese people :) I guess they are all at the show.

official radio partner - google translate suggests a broadcast on Saturday... http://radiocomercial.clix.pt/

that first stream link doesn't work / is out of date... this station is showing highlights from what I can make out. TV Site http://sic.sapo.pt/sicradical/ Stream: http://www.tvtuga.com/sic-radical/ it's listed as an official partner on the festival site. the schedule page here has lots of highlights shows listed... http://sic.sapo.pt/sicradical/guia-tv

another stream http://www.tvtuga.com/sic-radical/ website of the station: http://sic.sapo.pt/sicradical/

possible stream - or perhaps an old link... http://www.livestream.com/optimusalive

Will the stream become LIVE soon (said to any local people)? Right now it's a completely different festival (in a different city) being shown and recorded earlier.

the promo link on the page seems to suggest a live stream too - and look beneath the video: http://www.skynet.be/generation-nl/muziek/dossier/847519/rock-werchter-coldplay-ozark-henry-selah-sue-arsenal-belgacom#ldmain

watching again now on BBC Red Button. HLH/MX Y IMP TS now Politik again Looks like the running order for the 1 hour highlights later today on BBC4...sound mix is slightly better watching again with headphones on.

The 33-year-old festival local boy from Kirkcaldy will be headlining with Chris Martin and the boys on the Saturday. But beforehand the band's bass player is hoping to get on stage with American sisters The Pierces, whose career he resurrected when he produced their breakout album You & I. The girls, still on a high after it reached number four in the charts, are the latest act to be named for next month's T, when they play on the Saturday. Allison who sings and plays guitar alongside sister Catherine, said: "We've talked about him coming on stage and playing a song or two. He's told us about T in the Park and said he loved going home and playing one of his favourite festivals." The Pierces had split up after slogging away for nine years when Guy approached them in 2009 to produce new material. It would become You & I, their fourth album that went to number four in May. Allison said: "Honestly, he saved us. Our success now is all because of him. We had given up. We didn't see any hope and couldn't see where the next step would be, so we split up. If he hadn't come along, Catherine and I would be doing solo projects. We're hoping to do our next album with him as well. We've started talking about it, it's just a matter of when." Guy and his production partner Rik Simpson took the sisters, originally from Birmingham, Ala-bama, into the Electric Lady Studios in New York. here and in Coldplay's studio, The Bakery in north London, they worked on You & I's summery folk-rock tunes. They will be the perfect pastoral pleasure for T in the Park, which begins on July 8 and features Arctic Monkeys, Foo Fighters and Coldplay as headliners. The gorgeous sisters will join Beyonce, The Saturdays and KT Tunstall to add extra glamour to the weekend's line-up. And Allison, who has been living in London with Catherine while promoting and touring their album, swore: "We promise to bring some Alabama sunshine." She also promised they wouldn't let their standards slip at Balado. Allison said: "If it's raining on stage I will not be wearing wellies." She added: "We have heard some great things about T. It is one of everyone's favourites. "We've played in Glasgow and Edinburgh already and know the Scottish audiall as sexy ences are the best so we can't wait to see what a Scottish festival is like. In general, festivals are much more raw and you never know what you're going to get. There are more chances of things getting wrong but that makes it more exciting." Unlike most squabbling siblings in bands, such as Oasis and The Kinks, The Pierces aren't at each other's throats. Allison said: "We fight but we don't get physical or hit each other. We really love each other and have learnt to fight maturely." She's laughing now. The sisters, both in their early 30s, have been singing together since they were kids "as soon as we could talk", and playing professionally for 12 years. They will be in London until the end of the summer and will be waiting for Guy to work out times he can leave his day job as Coldplay's bassist to produce them. It's something they thoroughly enjoyed last time. Allison said: "He's not a really hard task master but very focused and lives for music. Something people don't know about him is that he plays pretty much instrument. "He played most of the electric guitar on the album, he played pretty much all percussion, he started out as a drummer, and a little bit of keys. "He's incredibly talent and very inspiring." They will be hoping Guy can steer them to American success. Like the Kings of Leon and The Killers, they've had to find success first in the UK. She said: "You & I feels like a new beginning. Every record we did we kept saying this is our last chance, but we keep getting more chances. The success in the UK doesn't surprise us because we've been through so much. But we are so happy things are going well now."

I think they will, there was an announcement saying they would show the headline sets live. I guess they just didn't give all the details yet on the listings. BBC2 now shows this on Radio Times, so plenty of time to show them... "Glastonbury 2011 Saturday 25 June 9:45pm - 2:00am BBC2 Coverage of the music acts performing at this year's festival."

Just found this - coverage on the 25th says "to be announced" but this is up for Sunday - via Radiotimes website "Coldplay at Glastonbury 2011 Sunday 26 June 7:00pm - 8:00pm BBC4 Mark Radcliffe introduces highlights last night's headline set on the Pyramid Stage, which saw Chris Martin and his band topping the bill at Worthy Farm for the third time in their career." U2 coverage is being shared by BBC 2 and BBC4 but as said above - 25th coverage details not there yet.

Must've been this IFPI on the warpath closing down any videos with COLDPLAY and CHRISTMAS LIGHTS in the title. They didn't get the msg about 8pm... I bet the emails or phonecalls sent from CPHQ were fun...

Click below to watch a terrific "making of" film for Coldplay's Life In Technicolor ii video (big thanks to the video's producer, Matthew Fone, for sending it over). Look out tomorrow for an in-depth interview with the video's director, Dougal Wilson, in which he tells us all about the puppets, the village hall and why Jonny isn't in the helicopter which crashes through the window at the end... [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZT_7sVQX8QM]YouTube - Coldplay - The Making of 'Life In Technicolor ii' Video[/ame] Interview with Dougal Wilson (LITii video director) February 24, 2009 11:44 pm Tales from the puppet video Hello Dougal. How did you come to make the video for Life In Technicolor ii? Well, I've been doing music videos for a while and Phil Harvey, Coldplay's mysterious fifth member, got in touch to ask if I'd like to pitch for their next single, and to see if I'd like to meet up with him to talk about it. It sounded a little more engaging than your average video commission. Usually you just get emailed the track as an MP3 and you don't know how many people will be pitching for it, or how much of a chance you stand. Do you know which of your videos Phil had been inspired by? I think he must've seen my showreel, which would've had Bat For Lashes, Dizzee Rascal, Basement Jaxx and The Streets on it. If you go on our website, you can see a bunch of them. Perhaps the Benni Benassi one caught his attention. Haha! They did mention that one, yeah. But I suppose they noticed that most of my ideas are quite light-hearted or affectionately take the piss out of the artist. Maybe they thought that was going to be good territory for them. I don't really know, to be honest. So you met up with Phil? I did. We had a chat and it sounded like they wanted something in the style of what I'd done before, with my kind of silly humour. They were originally going to release a song called Glass Of Water, so that was the one I came up with an idea for. But that idea turned out to be too expensive and would've involved the band, which was looking really tricky because they were on tour. So, then I had to think of another idea, but it was nice because they were committed to me doing it by that point. Meanwhile, the band had suggested that they could be puppets, possibly in a Thunderbirds style. I thought puppets was a great idea, but that the Thunderbirds look had been done, with Team America. You had worked with puppets before though, right? Yes, for a Dizzee Rascal video, which meant it was territory I was familiar with, technically. So, I had a think about what we could do with puppets and I thought about Punch and Judy. It's a British institution; quite creepy, funny and anarchic, but I hadn't seen them in a video before. So that's how we came up with that idea. Then they changed the single to Life In Technicolor ii and it seemed to still work with the idea. What happened next? Well, the idea was developed that it was a Punch and Judy show which was going to be taken over by a puppet rock band performance. I thought we could have a few jokes, if we attempted to do the kind of thing Van Halen or Motley Crue would do, with all the cliches of a massive rock concert, but on a puppet scale. So I got the song and storyboarded it bar by bar, thinking of all the gags we could put in. I thought it was quite important that everyone watching would be completely unprepared for it, so you're constantly contrasting the people watching with what's happening on the stage. That was the main repeated joke throughout; people looking at it in a mixture of bewilderment and fear. It wouldn't have been funny if they'd started getting into it. Some of the looks are amazing, particularly the little boy at the start. Yeah, that is a classic little moment. We couldn't have told him to do that. We had a second camera which we just kept rolling on the kids we'd cast. Basically my criteria for casting them was that they could do a good bewildered expression; I just chose the ones that looked funniest when they opened their mouth very slightly. How did you pick where to film it? That was quite tricky. I wanted it to be in a very unsuspecting English village hall, so I tried to find the kind of place where the local ladies guild would have their meetings. But it was quite hard to find places that weren't being used, because those sort of halls are always being used by the table tennis club, or something. We searched for ages and then that one became available. It's in a place called Aldenham which is near Watford. Interestingly it's the same village where they shot the TV adaptation of the Midwich Cuckoos by John Wyndham, called Village Of The Damned. So it's got some film heritage. Is it a nice village? Yes, it's very pleasant and picturesque, although opposite the hall there are these nice little cottages and outside one of them was a big sign saying "Bring back hanging"! We made sure we didn't make too much noise around that particular neighbour. But the locals we met were all really nice. How did you go about making the puppets? I've got a really good guy I've worked with before called Nonny Banks. He does prosthetics for feature films and that kind of thing. I did some research into Punch and Judy-style puppets, before trying to draw rough likenesses of the band in that style. Then Nonny sculpted them in clay and we rendered them in fibreglass, then gave them a wood look with paint. I don't think it really matters that they don't look precisely like them, it's more that we're supposed to know they look like them. That's why I thought it'd be funny to really spell it out with the girl and the Playin' It Cool biography. We've had emails about that book, asking where you can buy it from. Well, I think the whole phenomenon of the unofficial biography is really amusing. When any band gets any trace of success there's always some opportunistic writer who immediately puts an unofficial biography together. So I put "unofficial biography of Coldplay" into Google and found this bizarre CD called Maximum Coldplay, which has the picture I've used on the cover of the fake book - the one where Will looks about 13. Maximum Coldplay is a CD of a woman narrating a very dry, factual biography of Coldplay, while music plays which isn't even Coldplay, it's just some other band playing a bit like them. You can hear clips of it online. It's very odd. So I thought I should take that picture and put it on the book. It was meant to be a gag about the whole phenomenon of unofficial biographies. Available at a village hall jumble sale near you. Exactly! It's a pity you can't see the other books the girl's got actually; classic things like the Hungry Caterpillar. We got loads of amazing props for the shoot. There's been some talk about Guy's puppet. Yeah, nobody thinks it looks like him, do they? That is absolutely fair. But it is supposed to be a caricature in a Punch and Judy style. And somehow I thought Guy, of all the band, looked most like Mr Punch. So I exaggerated it and gave him this massive hooked nose, weird eyes and a leering grin. I found it funny that we'd made the most good looking one the least good looking puppet. Who did the puppeteering? These guys called Jonny and Will and a friend of theirs called Martin. And another friend of theirs whose name I can't remember. Um, Guy? Ha! No, it wasn't the band, despite the names. But Jonny and Will are fantastic puppeteers. I just did a music video-style film for the English National Opera which has also got puppets in it and they worked with me on that too. You're becoming the puppet video man. No, no, definitely not. Besides, the opera one was mostly live action. So, did filming for the LITii video go well? Yeah. We planned it out very precisely, because the video has a story so we were filming pieces of a jigsaw which had to fit together. It's especially tricky with children, because they're only allowed to be there for a certain number of hours. So we had to do it very, very fast; we probably averaged two takes per shot. With a big commercial you can easily do 30 takes per shot. And Phil came along to make an appearance. Indeed, he did. It's good how he appears, then disappears, then re-appears. Even within the video, he's mysterious and illusive. Exactly! That's because he was only there for an hour and you have to shoot things in a funny order. For example, you have to do all the shots facing the stage at the same time, and then all the ones looking towards the children. You have to draw it up on the storyboard and work out what you'll film when. Of course the video climaxes with a helicopter smashing through a window. Yes, that was actually shot in the middle of the night, at the end of the last day. So all the daylight is artificial - it's just a big light shining in. Is there any reason Jonny isn't in the helicopter? If that was a Beatles video, people would think it meant he's dead or leaving the band, or something. No, there was no meaning to that whatsoever. It's just that the helicopter was quite small inside and the puppets were quite big. We had to pull their legs off to get them into the helicopter and even then we could still only fit three in with the roadie. When we tried to put all four in, they were so crushed, they didn't look alive any more. So as it's only a very short shot, we thought nobody would notice if we left one out. But why Jonny? I think it was probably because he was the one that was flopping forward at the time, because he didn't have enough Blu-Tack on his torso. So I'm afraid I just pulled him out. Did you have to smash a real window? No, that's a trick of filming. It's actually some fire doors which we opened and inserted a fake window into. We made it at great expense with balsa wood and sugar glass. We'd had two built in anticipation of one of them going wrong, but we were so short of time that when we smashed the first one and it seemed to work, we left it at that. How did you actually do it? The helicopter was attached to a long broom handle, which was just walked through the window. It wasn't flying, it's on a big pole with two hefty blokes walking about two yards behind it until it smashes through. Then in post production we rubbed them out. There's been a slight controversy over whether the man with the video camera swears. The BBC have said they can't put the LITii video on their website because he does. Really? How funny! But, yes, he does swear. He says "effing 'ell". He was a featured extra guy called Davis and he was brilliant. The original idea was to cut in with DV footage, but we never used that. But his face was so funny that we thought we'd put him in. We were just improvising and I said, "Imagine something strange has just happened and maybe swear". And he did it brilliantly. I thought it'd be funny to have it after the motorbike scene, because that's pretty much what you'd think if you saw that. It was a spur of the moment thing because it was funny. It was like a moment of humanity coming in. It wasn't supposed to be gratuitous. Were your roadie puppets based on anyone in particular? There was talk of basing it on one of the band's long-standing guys, but that didn't happen in the end. So one of them was based on Saxondale, the Steve Coogan character. He's the one you don't see quite so much who pulls on one of the motorbike ramps and flies the helicopter. The other one, who picks the cymbal up and does the mixing desk, is just a classic roadie, with a ponytail and an ear-ring. We thought we should definitely give him a roadie's arse, too. So, are you pleased with how the video turned out? Well, you work on something so hard for so long that it's very hard to be objective about the finished thing. But what's really nice is when people start watching it and telling you they like it. That's very, very pleasing. And it seems to have happened quite a lot with this one. What happens to the puppets now? We've given them to Coldplay. But I've got one of the roadies on my shelf - the one with the arse. And I've got one of the Indian musician characters we invented for the start. Do you think we'll ever see them all together on stage again? Oh, it could happen. A reunion tour must surely be on the cards. ----------------------------------------------- Video Exclusive (Music) Time - 19:00 - 19:05 (5 minutes long) When - Tuesday 20th January on 4Music Coldplay. Exclusive first play of Coldplay's brand new video Life In Technicolour II. ------------------------------------------- UPDATE: 12 January 2009: New single's video: stills and premiere info January 12, 2009 11:53 am Sneak preview of the Life In Technicolor ii video Good morning. We're pleased to announce that the video for Coldplay's new single, Life In Technicolor ii, will premiere on the 4Music channel in the UK at 7pm on Tuesday 20 January. Later that night, at 12.10am, the video will be shown on Channel 4. We thought you might like to see some stills from the video to whet your appetite... Looks pretty ace, doesn't it? Anchorman

oh dear....do we have a member of Northern Souls here....one of the Sycophant Nick McCabe "fans". Who all think Richard is "evil"..hehe

Stopping the song was on Saturday in Tokyo - Pete was laughing on drums. No drama there. Sunday Nick lobbed his guitar to side stage at the end...might explain hy Richard went over there. Perhaps to check the crew member and/or someone he knows offstage was not hurt. Muttered something to Nick on his way offstage (he always goes off as their gigs end) to the right side. Definitely something to do with the way Nick just acted. Nick looks to have acted like a child because his guitar had issues (not the first time they have on this recent tour) but you don't act like that and throw stuff at crew members. Chris would be a bit peeved if Johnny did that. It's clear Nick has a bad attitude and would rather play long draw out ambient stuff. But no one forced him to get back up there. Hopefully they'll sort it out. The stuff about Richard suddenly going solo again is a joke - even Nick/Simon mentioned in iterviews last year he would be carrying on with solo work - before they played their first gigs in Nov 2007. It's clear they had a bust up over the ontsage stuff but other than that it's the press running away with themselves after a story. "history" suggests though they may not have to look too hard with The Verve but hopefully a break after V this weekend and they'll sort stuff out. Their Sunday night slot is live on Virgin radio and maybe 4Music TV as well - should be interesting... Funny they have the guy who played the violins on Viva La Vida at their gigs right now. Maybe he'll get a job with Coldplay...

I was going to ask the same thing - he mentioned two guests but not CP. Already been on? only had it on for 10mins.
