Coldplay Stadium Tour 2012

[Durleyfos]

I know Coldplay are very much a 'Marmite' band, you either love them or hate them.

 

Anyone else got tickets for their tour next year?

 

My missus just got two for the Emirates on June 4th.

 

If you don't like them, please do not reply to this post. Thanks.

Burn them, burn them with fire.

[Turkish]

No, because they are sh*t.

Why aren't they playing St Mary's FFS

 

NC Out.

They wanted to but NC said he wanted to give everyone seeing them a free beer to celebrate having a band like Coldplay at SMS, Chris Martin wouldn't agree to it.

Albums might be a little too polished but live, there aren't many better bands out there.

They're marmite on record but i think live you'll find it hard to find a current 'large' band to beat them for a decent show.

Seriously? I can't think of at least 10 that don't have the hype these boring clowns do.

 

I think that says it all about modern music though. Safe, bland and dull. Give me the inventiveness of the stone roses the dark humour of the smiths or the pure f*ck offness of the pistols or te clash anyday over that nonsense.

I saw them at the IOW Festival a few years ago.

 

Agreed, they are fantastic live.

I managed to get two tickets for 1st June at the Emirates.

Big fan.

Cant wait.

Nothing wrong with the bands you mentioned. The difference being, with Coldplay we are talking about a band with 5 studio albums with like it or not, smash hits on each one. The challenge of keeping their sets fresh, exciting and engaging, whilst still having to play these hits is hard but they do seem to manage it. Stone Roses didn't have to ever tour the world singing Fools Gold 10 years after it was released. Same goes for the Pistols.

 

As I said before, I am not a huge Coldplay fan but was blown away when I saw them live and they ripped it up at Glastonbury this year too.

I booked our annual NYE vacation in Bangkok on Monday evening. Mainly because as always there was stuff all happening here and with the floods they are basicvally giving away hotel rooms ATM.

 

And so of course on Tuesday morning Coldplay announce they are doing a gig on NYE in Abu Dhabi.

 

Balls. Their last one in the rain down there was THE most amazing gig I will ever see.

 

Harumph

Ludicrously good band. I can't even fathom how people call their music "boring".

 

Their set at Glasto this year was special and their latest album ain't half bad either. Don't think they'll ever improve on Parachutes though. How could you?
