Hmmm, I kinda think, if they aren't going to extend the setlist, remove Magic and AOO all together from the B Stage set because, from what I've seen of the videos, the songs don't sound great when they're played that way. I think the setlist and that stage might benefit from having songs there that might fit a less electronic sound like Warning Sign, Shiver and Strawberry Swing. AND YES, BRING BACK VIOLET HILL. The setlist is missing a really rocky song I think.

Could someone explain or show me how the stage layout works in terms of there being a B stage and a C stage? I've tried looking and all I can see is the main stage and the smaller one at the end of the runway.

How boring though? Like, the singers are good but I don't think they're a good warm up for this kind of show. Reef will be good, shame they aren't supporting them when I see them :(

Love this so much, I'd only get rid of Ink and then change the C Stage to Us Against The World and Death and All His Friends. Then the closing set start with Amazing day, finishing on Fix You before the encore of ASFOS and Up&Up. I wish they'd play sets this long, but sadly that'll never happen...unless they shortened a lot of songs.

Yeah, this would be really helpful information. I can't decide whether to get as close to the main stage as possible, as close to the B stage as possible or somewhere in between :S

YES, I agree with the last few posts to some extent. I really love the album but it's in no way my favourite. I think if they album style/themes stayed the same but it was Jon Hopkins instead of Stargate, it would have sounded so much better. I also think they could have got rid of X Marks The Spot and Colour Spectrum and put a rockier/more up-tempo song near the end.

It's really good anyway but I'd change the odd song... Main Stage ( Colour Spectrum ) 1) A Head Full Of Dreams 2) Yellow 3) In My Place 4) Paradise 5) Magic 6) Birds 7) Politik or God Put A Smile - ( Just Politik or a blend of the two) 8) Everglow 9) The Scientist 10) Hymn For The Weekend B-Stage 11) Amsterdam - (I know you all love it but I'd prefer Midnight here) 12) Moses or Moving To Mars or A Rush Of Blood To The Head - (Just MTM or MTM/Talk/Violet Hill) 13) Poppyfields or Sparks or Gravity - (Glass Of Water or Gravity or Atlas) 14) Amazing Day Main Stage 15) Shiver 16) Viva La Vida 17) Charlie Brown 18) Adventure of a Lifetime - (swap to 21 Clocks) C-Stage 19) Trouble or Us Against The World - (Blend from trouble to us against the world, acoustic 20) The Hardest Part or Swallowed in the Sea ( acoustic ) - (Warning Sign or Strawberry Swing) Main Stage 21) Clocks - (Swap to 18 Adventure Of A Lifetime) 22) Fix You 23) A Sky Full Of Stars - (a Sky Full Of Stars or Every Tear Drop Is A Waterfall) 24) Up&Up Plus I'd find room somewhere for Death And All His Friends as it's my favourite song by them.

Hmmm, I think there is a good chance it is real but some of the song choices seem strange

I feel like I'm starting to sound really negative but it seems that some people here will compare Coldplay to anyone just to bash them. Whilst AOAL has a similar bass to Get Lucky, it does not sound like an average Daft Punk song and tbf, a lot of disco and disco inspired music have very similar elements. Can I ask those who compared them, how does Parachutes sound like Muse?

Honestly, I hate rubbishing anyones opinions but the whole Fall Out Boy post is the biggest load of rubbish I've ever read. They will not be remembered over Coldplay, they are by no means any bigger. Coldplay, whether we like them anymore or not, strive to have a different sound on each album, there's a difference between that and just selling out for radio. It's very arguable that Fall Out Boy have regressed to making music for radio now. When people use 'irrelevant' because they don't have a real argument is really silly. If Coldplay didn't have a big fanbase it would make a little sense but to pit them up against Fall Out Boy? Ridiculous.

I don't think I actually realised who they were talking about when I wrote that, I just remember reading it was an interviewer or something. I'm well aware of who he is and I'm always a bit unsure of what I think of him.

I'm so confused about people's opinions on this album. Do people really think it's this massive sounding but very 'radio' pop album? I don't think it's that big or 'mainstream' really. There's the big ones, AHFOD, HFTW and AOAL. But there's not much else on there that's full on huge/stadium sounding. AOAL and HFTW plus Everglow and Fun as nice ballads might be fitting for radio but I can't see the rest touching radio or becoming hits at all other than maybe Up&Up possibly. I think it's quite an emotional album really, not superficial or trying to hard to have chart songs, it's a lovely little album, not their best but definitely not an album trying to hard to impress pop fans surely.

1. A Head Full Of Dreams 2. Mylo/Hurts Like Heaven 3. Violet Hill 4. Death And All His Friends 5. Yellow ------ Ocean's outro interlude ------ 6. A Sky Full Of Stars 7. Speed Of Sound/Talk 8.

Charlie Brown 18. Paradise 19. Fun 20. Strawberry Swing 21. Adventure Of A Lifetime ------ Glass Of Water Interlude ------ 22. Amazing Day 23. Fix You Encore: 24. LITii 25. Up&Up

Less of a prediction, more my dream setlist 1. A Head Full Of Dreams 2. Mylo/Hurts Like Heaven 3. Violet Hill (Short but a banger so keep this, expel In My Place) 4. Death And All His Friends (cut a bit from the middle) 5. Yellow ------ Ocean's outro interlude ------ 6. A Sky Full Of Stars 7. Magic 8. Everglow 9. Midnight (Hoping and think they might play this, imagine the lights in a stadium) 10. Army Of One ------ Kaleidoscope interlude ------ 11. Viva La Vida 12. Hymn For The Weekend 13. The Scientist 14. Politik 15. Clocks ------ MMIX ------ 16. ETIAW 17. Charlie Brown 18. Paradise 19. Fun 20. Adventure Of A Lifetime ------ Strawberry Swing interlude ------ 21. Amazing Day 22. Fix You Encore: 23. LITii 24. Up&Up If you got rid of the ones they're really unlikely to play (DAAHF, Politik, and LITii, plus Hurts Like Heaven would probably be swapped for birds) I think it could easily be quite similar.

Oh dear, he sounds vile. Why would the be any reason to bring any of that up? Hope the company has words with him.

Whoa. No. Many people consider Viva to be their best. As with X&Y, Mylo, Ghost stories and will eventually with AHFOD. How is it a decline when everyone has a different opinion on each album?

Amazing Day - 9 Everglow - 9 AOAL - 9 Hymn For the Weekend - 8 Fun - 8 Up&Up - 7 Army Of One - 7 Birds - 7 AHFOD - 6 X Marks The Spot - 5 Kaleidoscope - 5 Colour Spectrum - 3 So it's currently a 6.9 out of 10 for me, I'm sure that will change though

I really like the album. Probably ranks about my 4th favourite. Would have liked one or two more songs, something a bit more of a typical Coldplay anthem and something rockier would have been nice, oh well. Also, I'm really sad that the 'Fly on silver bird' lyrics weren't part of a song :(

I know they've done it but White Lies or Marina would be great for me. ALSO Bombay Bicycle Club would work so well if they performed material from the last album, not a new one, it would fit so well with the Indian theme.

So is there a way us who ordered the album but getting it late can listen to the album tomorrow? Amazon offers this autorip thing but I have no idea how it works :(

Is the 'Fly On Silver Bird' lyric from Us Against The World on here?

I can't imagine seeing them without any lights :O My friend thinks the roof will be shut for the show so it's dark enough but I'm not sure

Hmmmm this is really annoying. I feel like I've been mislead into thinking I was getting standing and have been put in the orange section, does it mean I can go there or standing if I want? Or does it just mean I've got to go and sit in the awful level three area? These cost more than the cheaper reserved seats so I'm probably going to complain if that's the case :( Edit: Looking at the Wembley map is giving me hope but my ticket order says Orange Section and gave a row number :s

In your opinion, lots of us love Mylo.

I've not listened to the actual song but I've just heard the snippet and I really like it!
