To be at the very front you'd need to get there around 6-9am? If you just want to be in the first few rows then queueing before lunch would be recommended. Are there early entry tickets for Wembley? Those people would already take up the popular spots e.g. front row along the catwalk. I think queueing will be most competitive for the first show but by the last one you can probably rock up a 2-3 hours later than the times mentioned above and you'd still secure a really good spot.

I want to love this song but the ending ruins it for me. I like everything else about it though. The transition from Birds to Hymn For The Weekend is fab.

I noticed at the end of the handwritten lyrics it says "for Habib and Mahrdad". Who are they?

I still adore AOAL but I'm not loving the video. It does have some funny moments though.

A Guy Berryman interview whaaaaaat? Will listen now.

HFTW > POC. I like the song and I think it will be successful as a single.

I'm not exactly cheering about the product placement but it's not the end of the world either. There are more important things to focus on like a brand new era, new album and the world tour.

This moment from the TIDAL gig <img src="https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CUZO4RMUEAA7k8E.jpg">

I'm concerned :inquisitive:

Damn I'm too slow it has been removed

So it's still on? It's kind of strange how it's not really being promoted anymore. I thought perhaps they decided to delay it until after the TIDAL gig since that's when they were planning to premiere some new songs.

Chris has really turned over a new leaf and seems genuinely happy with his life. I'm half expecting AHFOD to be filled with happy sappy songs with cheesy lyrics but I will probably end up loving it anyway. What's important is they are making music they enjoy and are proud of instead of the music Oldplayers are expecting from them. Even though I prefer their "older" sound there are still many tracks on MX and GS that I enjoy. You don't need to love every song to be a fan.

Interesting. Does that mean people have the album already or did they just get to listen to new songs? For some reason it wouldn't let me embed but here is the tweet https://twitter.com/danaebrielle/status/666472021665026049 [ATTACH=CONFIG]32941[/ATTACH]

I know zilch about musical instruments but I love that part.

"being a veteran of 4 Coldplay leaks" haha! I'll be keeping a close eye on this thread. Don't the band usually stream the whole album a week or so before the release? I wouldn't know anything about actual leaks for their previous albums though.

There is a special place in hell for ticket scalpers. It's a huge issue but at the same time, what would be a fair solution to the problem? A ballot is probably reasonable but with small gigs like this one there will always be huge fans that miss out. Congrats to the few who managed to get tickets though.

I can definitely see Chris on board with this but I'm not so sure about the rest of the band.

If there was one thing Coldplay could improve it would be their music videos! But I love AOAL and I'm still excited to see how to video turns out. I didn't like the Paradise video at first but it quickly grew on me. Maybe the same will happen with this one. At least the whole band is in it, albeit in gorilla form.

Based on the song title, I was expecting it to be like Charlie Brown with xylobands and all but I guess not if it's only an interlude.

Thanks this is just what I needed.

Is there any confirmation on whether you will need a TIDAL account to stream the show with video?

What an anti-climax. It's great news but not HUGE NEWS like it was hyped up to be considering a majority of fans won't even be able to go.

I thought more posters would have popped up around the word by now considering they've officially announced the album.
