Coldplay at Glasto

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

The end of We Pray sounded like Dilemma by Nelly.

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.

Whatsnormalhere · 29/06/2024 22:53

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

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

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.

WOW!!!

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

He brought in a famous palastinan singer 💓

He is giving me the ick with all that gyrating

He doesn't gyrate! He was married to our Gwyneth, he's a Ken Doll!

Massive Coldplay fan from 1998 until about 2005 when they just got boring and repetitive. He seems to have somehow caught an American accent along the way.

PussInBin20 · 29/06/2024 23:22

I love them. Seen them at two stadium tours and they put on a great show.

They truly are a headline act. Wish I was there

Absolutely. On both counts.

Oblomov24 · 29/06/2024 23:34

I don't even like him that much. I thought he looked really old, but to be fair his showmanship was 2nd to none and he got the crowd going and it was absolutely incredible. The whole thing was amazing.

AllyCart · 29/06/2024 23:35

For anyone who's seen them live other than at Glasto, are they as good in smaller venues/inside, etc?

It just seems like the show so reliant on the atmosphere - not a criticism, just can't imagine how it would be elsewhere?

ExitPursuedByABare · 29/06/2024 23:36

This is cute.

I saw them at an arena tour and they were great. Very atmospheric.

That's good to hear. 😀

Has there been a better headline act for Glasto?

I'm sure there are loads who some - many even - would prefer, but as an act to appeal to the widest possible number of people, I struggle to think of anyone else really.

Chocolatefrogs · 29/06/2024 23:55

I think his voice is okay, and pretty much the same as ever, but his accent is all over the shop - it’s giving me Dick van Dyke in Mary Poppins vibes 😂😂 I know he’s lived in the USA for years now, and probably splits his time between the U.K. and the US, so that’s probably why it’s a bit in between, but it’s weird to listen to. I find it grating when he pronounces ‘Earth’ as ‘Urrth’ 😂

AllyCart · 29/06/2024 23:59

Anyone notice the BBC coverage ended with a closing credit (or whatever it's called) with MMXIV as the date? 😁

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.

Edited

He looks exactly the same as he ever has, he's super fit and lean

Ha not yet - I’m behind as started watching late - but I’ll look out for it. Wish it was still 2014 tbh.

Me too - for quite a few reasons 😂

I saw Muse at Glasto one year, they were insanely epic

Aquarius1234 · 30/06/2024 00:15

Can't believe people think they are one of the best headliners. Nah.

God I love Muse. I haven’t kept up with their stuff for a few years now, but I saw them live twice and they were phenomenal. Both they and Coldplay do excellent live shows.
