Pet Shop Boys covered it in their set? Oh my. Desecration.

Not saying that Coldplay are great in my opinion, just saying that you can't hold Elbow on a pedestal and than criticize Coldplay. Both bands are fairly average.

Ah boooo, Coldplay are boring, they sell records, they've sold out etc etc. Heard it all before.

Decent band, make commercially popular music, sell millions of records.

They started off good, they stayed good and they're still good now. Not sure where this 'selling out' stuff comes from as their music has not really changed in style.

What i will say about Coldplay is that they are a surprisingly good live band, and on that basis i'll probably be watching them.

If we need to talk about selling out then we probably need a discussion about that band that's on before Morrissey.

I was just messing as I've always wanted to try to get Vera Duckworth into a thread somehow.

Bollocks, it was brilliant. That PSB set was a triumph.

I like Coldplay and I've enjoyed all of their albums (even X+Y) but Chemical Brothers will be fantastic. And I probably wouldn't see them if they were headlining either of the other 2 nights either. Nothing against them, but the quality of the headliners down the stages is ridiculous.

I think they're quite nice young men, the type of guys who you'd take for lunch with your granny.

I imagine their Saturday night headline slot will also be quite nice, fairly forgettable, but nice like a warm sunday dinner.

I'll go see them because I like sunday dinner.

If anyone wants to download a free live album of Coldplay they're giving away one on their website. Well worth a listen for free.

Also, just been watching some of their live video's on youtube and this one made me laugh 2:55 onwards, unfortunately can't see him having the space to do that at glastonbury!

Flogging Molly for me, can't stand them to be honest.

[jimmy93]

LRLR is fantastic.

Love their music. Parachutes is my favourite alum of all time. Seen them a few times in the past few years and can't wait to see them at Glastonbury. Elbow followed by Coldplay is the highlight of the festival for me.

One of the acts I am most excited about seeing. Never managed to catch them before, and thinking about it puts a huge smile on my face. So many classic tracks, and I think it'll be the singalong gig of the weekend for me!

I am guessing that their new album will not be released before they play then?
