Coldplay 2015

[MichaelsBeard]

Well someone had to start a thread for them...

[FuzzyDunlop]

Can I end it?

[willutalk]

Can't we just boycott this thread to send it onto any other thread page apart from the first?

I could do with a break from this Colplay mania.

Ha ha you rotten bastard.

[MichaelsBeard]

Haha. Such a terribly insipid booking. I mean even getting someone like The Libertines or (bawk) Kings of Leon in would be more interesting than booking these for the 4th time in 12 Glastonbury's.

Don't get their thinking at all the only possibility in my mind is someone huge let them down (AC/DC?) and they had no one to turn to but even then, as I said, there must be loads of bands they could have got on the cheap who'd be more relevant and fresh.

If this really is their swan song then I can understand the booking

If they felt they had no one to turn to and booked coldplay then wow, there's surely lots more choices than coldplay?

I still haven't really decided how I feel about this to be honest, it's not positive.

[MichaelsBeard]

That's the only possible way it could be justified in my eyes - if it's to be their last ever gig (Glasto geeks - has any band ever finished their career at Glastonbury before? Can't think of one off hand) but it won't be. They'd surely do a huge goodbye stadium tour as well which would have been announced by now.

[AdamWillingham]

I don't hate Coldplay, nothing against them. They are dull here and there but I would happily watch them if there was no one else I fancied on. Booking wise, it's not great, such a boring, predictable and lacklustre booking in my opinion.

I'm going all the way from Mexico (I got tickets!) and among the many acts I'd like to see Coldplay is my top band I would like to see playing Pyramid Stage in Glastonbury. I know that for some of you guys who can go there often because you're so close it might be a repetitive act, but it's not like that considering they haven't been there for 2 albums (if you include the release of the new one) and 4 years, which is enough time to consider a new return to the fest. I really hope they attend Glasto this year. They're one of the biggest band in the planet no matter what people say.

Nobody denies their size, but we've had 6 headliners since. 6. Out of a vast world of musicians. It's fortunate for you, of course, and will no doubt go down a treat, but it's still lazy and sad for those who have seen it all before as well as unfair on up and coming bands that Glastonbury could do with elevating to headliner level.

[willutalk]

Ha ha you rotten bastard.

That's sonething a pirate or farmer would say.

[CaledonianGonzo]

I always seem to run into Mexican folk at Glasto. The more the merrier, I say. Bienvenidos todos.

Welcome to the board Eduardo! You'll have a great time at Glastonbury regardless of who you see play, this place is a good resource for getting the most out of Glastonbury. If you're from Mexico then this could be a pretty once in a lifetime thing for you, hope you find some good tips and info here that will help you get the most out of it.

Top 10 Coldplay songs anyone? I know we love a good list on here...

[tiffpietiff]

Haven't you people realised yet that 'Coldplay' is actually an anagram of 'Radiohead'?

Read between the lines, for Christ's sake.

I tell you what Yellow is a cracker of a tune

Viva la vida too!

[CaledonianGonzo]

That one they do about the wires coming out of your skin

[Gucci Piggy]

I tell you what Yellow is a cracker of a tune

Viva la vida too!

Viva la Vida's an abysmal song.

[Gucci Piggy]

Shiver's a tune.

[the wonderwhy]

Politik or Clocks would be my favourite. Dunno if I could get to 10 though

[Matt42]

Oh god this has just sunk in coldplay are actually headlining again

Considering how new material heavy their recent setlists are I'm struggling to see the positives in this

Edited February 3, 2015 by Matt42

[Rose-Colored Boy]

Coldplay aren't indie in any way wtf

[CHRLY]

Shiver's a tune.

Snap, just put that in t'other thread.

I was joking about the top 10 though, no way I could get anywhere near that.

[Mr November]

My top 10 in no particular order:

1. Politik

2. Fix You

3. Shiver

4. Everything's Not Lost

5. Yellow

6. Amsterdam

7. God Put a Smile on Your Face

8. The Scientist

9. Spies

10. A Rush of Blood To The Head.

Christ that was difficult. We'll get 3 of those at a push.

I'd be happy if they brought Kraftwerk on to do a mash-up of Computer Love/Talk.

And if Coldplay then left the stage to let Kraftwerk play out the rest of the set doing their own material. That would be okay, I reckon.
