Earthwindandfire2205 Posted June 26, 2016 Report Share Posted June 26, 2016 They are giving out the light up wrist bands for tonight's Coldplay set at the campsite information points. Just got mine at Pedestrian gate B. They only have 4 boxes left there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheesey_toastie Posted June 26, 2016 Report Share Posted June 26, 2016 Lots more people wondering around the pyramid handing them out now. Not a fan but coldplay must blow the fee on lasers / wrist bands each time they play! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samwilzrhcp Posted June 26, 2016 Report Share Posted June 26, 2016 Tonight is going to be really special, the xylobands will look awesome at the pyramid stage and all the way up the hill! Really wish i was there, but i will be there in spirit regardless, BBC it is for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fatyeti24 Posted June 26, 2016 Report Share Posted June 26, 2016 I picked up a couple. I've no intention of seeing Coldplay, I just like free shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pie_and_a_pint Posted June 26, 2016 Report Share Posted June 26, 2016 I look forward to prising several thousand of these (non-recyclable) trinkets out of the mud tomorrow morning... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're plastic and webbing, metal screws, batteries, and (presumably) electronics components inside. I can't imagine the teams in the Recycling Centre will have the time or resources to take the Xylobands apart painstakingly and separate the components out, so they'll need to go in the landfill section. Not great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsstocksey Posted June 26, 2016 Report Share Posted June 26, 2016 They look amazing on telly though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
st dan Posted June 26, 2016 Report Share Posted June 26, 2016 Like Coldplay or not, you can't deny that they put on a fantastic show! The wristbands and light show looks superb on TV - the best the Pryamid has ever looked!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keef Posted June 26, 2016 Report Share Posted June 26, 2016 I'd seen a few clips of their recent shows and thought maybe 10,000 or so might be handed out to those at the front, but to see the whole field lit up like that in the tellybox is a truly amazing sight. At their arena shows they did ask for them back, although most kept them as souvenirs. Hopefully most will keep theirs and very few end up in landfill.

king of carrot flowers (2) Posted June 26, 2016 Report Share Posted June 26, 2016 I assume you mean the wristbands rather than the bedwetter band?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siweltrebor Posted June 26, 2016 Report Share Posted June 26, 2016 This isn't the best performance I've seen from Coldplay but visually looks incredible and the wristbands are perfect for the Pyramid Stage, as a whole very impressive.

Opens a can of worms mind about visual impact / cost of said impact though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinhead Posted June 27, 2016 Report Share Posted June 27, 2016 They look pretty and everything in the big stage crowd for sure. Should the music not sell itself though - bit gimmicky for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
