Some murmurs Coldplay are doing coachella.

I think we’re safe in 2020, but I think they will definitely headline again in 2021 as part of the 50th anniversary comedown. It should be at the back end of whatever tour they are starting at the end of this year.

I think it’s not unreasonable to suggest they will do Glasto amongst a potential stadium or whatever tour in 2021.

It’s pretty unreasonable. That would be five times in twenty years (including fallows).

Probably the biggest lighting display event ever seen on the Pyramid stage and they follow it with a 11am day time slot.

Maybe they could get James to guest and play some album tracks that nobody knows. 

Please people, get a grip on reality here.

 

What better way to follow the biggest light show on the Pyramid, and the flashing pyramid before that, than with the biggest light of them all?

Keep up the great work Agent JParx! 

I don't suppose you're one of those who carries the large DCFC flag around each time?

Need to find out who those guys are - every year black ram on white & white ram on black, front and centre of the pyramid. Don’t know how they do it. I’m going to make it my mission to find out next year.

They will be lined up, of course they will be. There will be a bunch of bands Glasto are in talks with to headline the Pyramid and if one of them falls through (and lets face it, it probably will) Coldplay will take that slot. If they don't then yeah there'll be some sort of "secret" set.

It still makes me laugh the huge groan around us when Kylie introduced him on the Sunday this year. 

Same where we were. 

It was the biggest collective “OH FOR FUCKS SAKE!” I’ve experienced since watching LOTR: Return of the King at the cinema and that fucking film failed to end for the 5th time.

Jokes about Chris Martin popping up like an earnest whack-a-mole will always be funny, as will the memory of that deflated acceptance during Kylie's set.

I have no problem also holding the opinion that the 2016 closing set was fucking brilliant.

We were really non-plussed by them in 2011, felt Elbow had stolen the evening with the crowd pleasing, pint downing, Guy Garvey show, so were not keen for 2016, but exhausted and our mates wanted to see it. Back of the field, in a bit from the rearmost urinals, in front of the tree. WHAT A SHOW!!! Totally won us over.

 

I get why we all joke, and why we think hes a bit of a knob, but watch the movie A Head Full Of Dreams and you can see that he is all right. Obviously that's the point of the movie, but anyway, we were converted by 2016.

I would love them to open the show with a Pyramid set at 11am on Friday and a load of guests :)

Coldplay headlining is the only potential headliner I will actually be annoyed at.

Oh, I'd take them over Arctic Monkeys or The 1975. I agree it would feel a bit lazy to have them headlining next year (I think 2021 is much more likely), but personally I'd be happy to watch them open the Pyramid.

I know it's not a popular opinion around these parts, but I enjoyed the last album, and their HFOD tour (and 2016 headline slot) was magnificent. Granted, he's almost got the most slappable face (second only to Michael Gove) and his nauseating, boundless positivity makes me secretly yearn for climate change just so I have something to be unhappy about and put the world back in some kind of equilibrium .

But. They put on a great show, and I'd turn up to see them open.

I wouldn't. I am not a Coldplay fan at all, which doesn't help my view (I admit that!), but to me , regardless of who it is, the worlds biggest and best festival shouldn't have the same headliner every couple of years. It does devalue the festival a bit.

If they were to open, or to do a secret Park set maybe, I would be all for that. I wouldn't be anywhere near it, but I think that would add a lot to the festival.

I find the 1975 a lot more annoying than Coldplay. A gun to my head, I'd watch Coldplay before the 1975, but I'd much rather 1975 have a headline slot than Coldplay.

I don't get Coldplay, I never have done. Saw a bit of it on TV and thought it was naff... but like I say, I am a bit biased against them playing.

I could see them opening the Pyramid for sure. People get caught up in silly rules that don’t even exist, yes their light show was amazing in 2016, but even if they headlined again next year in the dark, would they just do the same again? Unlikely. It’s the 50th, it’s a one off special occasion, he’s a massive fan and friend of the festival, they can’t possibly headline the festival so makes complete sense. It doesn’t mean it will happen, but to suggest it isn’t at least plausible is madness.

    • Yes I'm also glad to see more experimental leftfield artists on the line up  Best line up in years 
    • Also Elefant to the Buzz.
    • I've heard him mention Deftones and Biffy as holy grail bookings in the past.   I think given Simon is back again suggests he enjoyed himself last year, not sure if they all still live in the UK so don't know if they'd match the flight thing
    • I refuse to queue for it - usually take an aeropress and some way of heating water but this year I'll be pre making a few bottles of coldbrew and having an iced coffee every morning (if we can get hold of ice, otherwise it'll be a lukewarm coffee) 
    • Himalayan salt lamps are decoration lighting that you may purchase for your house. They are made of pink Himalayan salt and are believed to offer a variety of health advantages. In reality, advocates of salt lamps believe that they can purify the air in your home, relieve allergies, improve your mood, and help you sleep.   Some people claim that Himalayan salt lamps can improve air quality, boost mood, and aid with sleep. However, there is little evidence to support these claimed health benefits.     What Are The Salt Lamps, And Why Are They Used?   Himalayan salt lamps are created by inserting a light bulb into huge chunks of pink Himalayan salt. True Himalayan salt lamps are created from salt collected from Pakistan's Khewra Salt Mine. Salt from this area is thought to be millions of years old, and while it looks quite similar to table salt, the tiny amounts of minerals it contains give it a pinkish hue. Many individuals purchase Himalayan salt lamps because they like the way they look and the peace that the pink light provides in their homes. Meanwhile, some are drawn to their potential health benefits.   How Do Pink Himalayan Salt Lamps Work?   Salt lamps are thought to have health benefits because they are "natural ionizers," which means they change the electrically charged particles of the flowing air. Ions are compounds with an uneven number of protons or electrons, which gives them a charge. They are naturally formed in the air as a result of atmospheric changes. Streams, storms, waves, natural radiation, and heat all generate air ions. They can also be generated artificially using commercially available air ionizers. It is thought that Himalayan salt lamps produce ions by attracting water particles, which evaporate as a salt solution when heated by the lamp, resulting in mainly negative ions. However, this theory is yet to be verified.   Related Topic: Is Pink Salt Better Than Normal Salt? How To Buy Pink Salt In Canada? 8 Benefits Of Pink Himalayan Salt      What Are The Health Claims, And How Do They Measure Up? They enhance the air purity   They are promoted as helpful for persons suffering from allergies, asthma, or respiratory disorders such as cystic fibrosis. There is presently no proof that using a Himalayan salt lamp can eliminate harmful bacteria and enhance indoor air quality. The argument that they are beneficial to persons with respiratory issues may be based on the ancient technique of halotherapy. According to this therapy, persons with chronic respiratory diseases are helped by spending time in saltwater caves since salt is present in the air. Some researchers have found that this approach may be beneficial to specific respiratory disorders, but further high-quality studies are still needed.   Eases Coughing As you are aware, the benefits listed in the previous section highlight the distinct characteristics of Himalayan salt lamps. When these lamps heat up, they emit negative ions that offset the positive ions in our surroundings, resulting in cleaner air quality. This process increases cilial activity in our airways, which aids in the removal substances from the lungs. In essence, Himalayan salt lamps act as natural air filters, promoting general health.   In a nutshell, Himalayan pink salt lamps not only remove impurities from the air but also assist your body filter air more efficiently, making sure any foreign particles you inhale do not enter your lungs.   They can help you sleep   There have been no studies looking into the impact of Himalayan salt lamps on sleep. However, a 2013 study examining the effects of air ionization on relaxation and sleep found no evidence of a positive effect. Thus, even if salt lamps have an effect on the air environment, it is unknown whether this will change sleep patterns. If you replace strong electric lights with a Himalayan salt lamp, the dark light could help encourage weakness near the end of the day. This is because being exposed to bright light before bedtime can cause the sleep hormone melatonin to be produced later.   SUMMARY: Himalayan salt lamps are said to improve air quality, elevate mood, and aid in sleep. However, there is right now insufficient evidence to support these statements.     Do Pink Salt Lamps Provide Any Benefits?   Although some of its health claims have not been verified by science, Himalayan salt lamps may provide additional benefits. This includes: They are attractive: If you like how they look, they could be a good addition to your home. They help to create a soothing atmosphere that allows you to unwind. They may help minimize light in the evening: If you have trouble sleeping, utilizing dim lights in the evening may help you fall asleep more quickly.     Further Ways to Purify Your Home Air   Himalayan pink salt lamps are not the only technique to improve your home's air quality. Pair them with air purifying houseplants or any of these other easy but incredible ways to naturally filter the air in your home, helping you and your family to breathe the healthiest, cleanest air imaginable!     Read More...
