I’ll start by saying I LOVE Coldplay! Watching Glasto live from the comfort of my bed…..is anyone else wondering what’s going on with Chris Martin’s voice? Or is it my imagination

WOW!!!

It was little simz in the last one. I don't know this song, but they're good so far. Just give me higher power and I can wake the cat up by dancing.

I think it was the sound system initially, it sounded a bit off.

Got to say I have no idea who they’re singing with now!

Husband just informed me Coldplay are doing 4 nights in Croke Park this year. Whatever anyone's personal opinion on their music, there's clearly a huge appetite out the for them.

The end of We Pray sounded like Dilemma by Nelly.

@Whatsnormalhere we just said the same. Wish we were there. Can you imagine that atmosphere?

It will be amazing there! Went to coldplays head full of dreams tour - the best live concert I have ever been by far!! I would argue that it was better than tonight 😅

My friend is there sending me videos! Looks bloody brilliant!

FailBetter · 29/06/2024 22:42

I love the LED wristbands they give out.

viagrafalls · 29/06/2024 22:42

I wonder who they will bring on as a guest - any guesses?

Ladyandherspaniel · 29/06/2024 22:42

I'm gutted I didn't know they were this... I love Coldplay. We went to Wembley in 2022 and it was the best show I had seen.

He's lost so much weight tho?? This tour has obviously took its toll on his health.

dnac · 29/06/2024 22:41

They truly are a headline act. Wish I was there

He’s always had quite a thin voice and has difficulty hitting the high notes.

That said, the production on this set is excellent and they’re making it look all very easy, which isn’t something that’s actually easy!

He is giving me the ick with all that gyrating

I'm watching it with my older son and he just said"why's he dancing like that?"

I love a bit of Coldplay even with the gyrating. No complaints from me.

I was just thinking

well, they ain’t The Killers

(still haven’t got over last Saturday)

Watched Paul Heaton’s set on iPlayer and it was excellent. He still sounds like he did 30 years ago. Coldplay have some ok songs but were never good at the vocals, he is more about bouncing about than singing.

We saw him at Neighbourhood last year and he wad amazing. Doesn't sound any different to 30 years ago

He was great. Really good voice.

Heparit · 29/06/2024 22:37

Kim Wilde does too.

Adenoidal isn't it

Heparit · 29/06/2024 22:36

He always sounds like he's got a cold!

Chris has always struggled with his voice but he does sound hoarser than when I heard them the last couple of times, it’s true!

I can't quite believe how little his voice has changed!

I love Paul Heaton. Am saving it until DH is here to watch it with me.
Keane were great.
What did everyone think of Cyndi Lauper? Suspect in places but then I heard she had sound issues too.
