4AssedMonkey Posted February 6 Report Share Posted February 6 I gave Parachutes a spin only last week. Still stands up strong. Massively diminishing returns with the quality of every album since mind. But they aren't the only stellar sized act guilty of that crime. Most are. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also a few songs on Rush of blood. Can't say I've liked anything they have done since then tbh though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gigpusher Posted February 6 Report Share Posted February 6 I think Emily's comments about early year announcement were based on thinking Madonna was in the bag. Now that Madonna's not in the bag I think we could be waiting for the usual amount of time (as in late March) for the poster. I'm not convinced we'll get any stand alone announcements but if we do I think it's likely to be for an Other/West Holts headliner. Hope I'm wrong as I'd love something sooner but given Dua/Stevie haven't announced their own dates/BST yet I just can't see an early announcement.

Yeah, if we go with the Madonna thing, Dua Lipa and Coldplay look to have been locked in previously for a long time. Her potentially bailing likely meant there was the need to scramble and finalise things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For no particular reason I reckon a Zoe Ball radio 2 announcement of Coldplay. And Mrs C will be happy!😊, and I will have something to bargain with when it comes to organising who we will be seeing😉.

MEGABOWL Posted February 6 Report Share Posted February 6 Coldplay are just about the biggest, most consistent ticket shifters around. Judging by the Pyramid crowd in 2011 and what I know from my kids/other people’s teenagers they’re big with the kids now they’ve gone all pop and do songs with BTS and the like. They’re absolutely massive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaledonianGonzo Posted February 6 Report Share Posted February 6 Not a particularly newsworthy name though, and fairly divisive in terms of critical opinion on them, so there's absolutely no benefit to announcing them early / separately.

There were other things I mentioned too. I don't listen to Taylor Swift but know she's popular. Edited February 6 by Chip Batch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazyfool01 Posted February 6 Report Share Posted February 6 if we have to wait it out beyond this week I can see them throwing us something to keep us going ..... until a poster , maybe not a headliner though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People know their songs anyway, have heard that the shows are good etc. I know lots of people that have been to see them live that don't listen to them.

mattrik3 Posted February 6 Report Share Posted February 6 I was never a massive Coldplay fan but enjoyed their first two albums. Barr the odd song I don’t really know much of what they’ve released since then. Certainly wouldn’t be a must see for me but if there was no one else I was desperate for I’d maybe go. I haven’t listened to them for ages but all the chat in this thread has made me stick on Parachutes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also if I am not mistaken they will be releasing a new album (Moon Music?) this year still, so that might mix it up a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
