Strong start for the casual listeners but i fear people may start to lose interest toward the end. I reckon the hits will be more evenly distributed at Glasto.

[parsonjack]

looks like this might be b***ocks then...

[chewbacca]

hm... i love the beginning but it gets pretty boring towards the end.

[brettredmayne]

Need to spread out the hits a bit more, ending on a new single seems a bad idea

[tentgirl09]

For the amount of brilliant songs they have that is a pretty disappointing set, thank you for making me feel even better with my decision to see Chemical Brothers. Although if they play Yellow as a second song, I might have to just go for the start...

Hmmm Galvanise vs Yellow....

"There definitely won't be anything new before Glastonbury and their summer dates," a source told the Daily Star.

[ivan]

I just ran that through my "interweb translatophon 2000" machine it came back with:

Doesn't look like a bad setlist (apart from 7 new songs, including new single) for the crowd that will be there. I would expect they'd trim it back at glasto but if not it's ideal, as everyone will just leave after Fix you to get to the naughty corner, apart from the people who are expecting J-Zed to appear onstage for Lost. Personally I would rather see an episode of lost, but that's just me

[Spindles]

Such is life, life is not always fair.

[Semprini]

Coldplay don't actually play Rock am Ring until tonight so I presume this is the set list from Rock im Park???

If anyone's interested you can watch the set (and quite a few others) here tonight. The full schedule of what they're streaming live can be found here. I watched a bit of Interpol last night but missed the others as I didn't find the site until late.

I tried not to look at the specifics too much, but noticed some of my favourites are in there (speed of sound!) but SIX new songs? God I'm a big longtime coldplay fan and have no interest in chemical brothers but STILL might not bother!!!

[LusciousLucy]

That's me decided on the Chems for definite now. Thanks for that listing. Dont feel quite so worried about the clash.

[j...rox]

Where is Trouble, Shiver, The Scientist. Otherwise it's fairly decent.

[Spindles]

The scientist is in there, but for sure, replace 3 of those 7 new songs with Shiver, Trouble and Parachutes (best song they ever recorded) and I'd be there.

Exactly as I typed that line parachutes came onto my playlist through shuffle. There is a god. (his name is barry)

[Glasto Mad]

How certain is the setlist?

It seems quite random. I'm actually not a big fan of coldplay, but when I was creating my yearly glastonbury playlist, I was astonished with how many songs I knew and could sing along to. 7 new songs sounds like a nightmare (unless you're a true fan), and this also conflicts with the previous press reports claiming that they were going to do no new material.

[Porcelina]

If the next couple of sets are similar, I may just watch the first five songs and then go to Chemical Brothers.

[j...rox]

Anyone reckon they might release a surpise album before the festival ala Radiohead, Kaiser Chiefs?

[Spindles]

Based on their form? I'd say more likely a download only live/remix album of 6-8 songs a few weeks before the release of the new album as a gift to their fans. I'm randomly on the coldplay mailing list and they have been very generous in terms of free music over the years.

[efcfanwirral]

The only way a Glasto set with those songs on would work is if it was released in the next few days, then People would at least have an idea of the songs. Saying this, there's a few shows for them to get it right, and for Glasto with it being on BBC I reckon they will change it a bit (I.e not quite as many new ones)

[j...rox]

Have to say im looking forward to hearing this cracker of a theme tune assuming they still do it:
