Coldplay planning New Year's Eve concert in Las Vegas with Jay-Z

Coldplay and Jay-Z have reportedly agreed a multi-million dollar deal to play a concert together on New Year's Eve (31.12.10), at the Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas resort to see in 2011.

The event is being organised by celebrity party planner Colin Cowie and will be invite only with no tickets being put on general sale to the public. The show will see Jay Z and Chris Martin’s Coldplay perform separately and then together in a mash-up performance.

Guests will be treated to separate sets from Coldplay and Jay-Z before the two acts take to the stage together. Beyonce Knowles is also said to be planning to perform in Las Vegas on the same night so she can be with her husband to celebrate the landmark date.

A source told the New York Post newspaper: "Organizers have spent millions securing the acts. The word is that Beyonce is now looking for a Vegas New Year's gig so she will be in town with Jay."

Jay-Z and Coldplay have collaborated before on the track 'Lost +' which featured on the band's EP 'Prospekt's March'. The two acts performed the track together at the 2009 Grammy Awards and have toured together.

Chris and Jay-Z are also good friends with the rap star recently revealing the 'Yellow' singer's children, Apple and Moses, call him "Uncle Jay".

Jay-Z: Coldplay's Chris Martin like a 'brother from another mother'

It's traditional to spend New Year with friends and family and Jay-Z gets to do both this year - and gets paid for it - by performing in Las Vegas with Coldplay.

The US rapper has told Newsbeat that Coldplay's Chris Martin is his "brother from another mother," and admits he sees him as often as possible. "I see him more than my own brother," he admitted. "Actually, I do!"

Coldplay and Jay Z will play separate gigs, plus a joint performance, on 31 December at the new Cosmopolitan casino and resort in Las Vegas. The luxury complex is rumoured to have cost £2.5bn and only opened a few weeks ago with an ceremony that featured Killers frontman Brandon Flowers. The invitation-only New Year's event is sold out, and while Jay-Z admits the show is expensive he also says it'll be relatively intimate.

The lucky few in the audience will no doubt be keen to see Jay-Z and Chris Martin perform a track or two together. Luckily the pair have history. In 2006 they collaborated on the rapper's track Beach Chair, and again in 2008 for the Coldplay song Lost. They have also performed live together several times - in London, at the 2009 Grammy Awards, and at a gig to open the New York Yankees' stadium in September.

The hip hop mogul is also upbeat about the chances of recording a new collaboration with Chris Martin: "If he'll allow me", he told Newsbeat. The rapper called the British singer-songwriter "one of the geniuses of our generation."

"Any time you can collaborate with that sort of genius, you jump at the chance, I don't care who you are."

However, another duet with wife Beyonce could be different matter. It's been a while since Bonnie & Clyde reached number two in the UK chart in 2002, and Jay-Z says another hook-up could still be a long way off. "I don't think she'll allow me," Jay-Z admitted. "But we'll see! It's her music, it's always the person's choice. You can't just turn up at their door and say 'I want to be on track four'. Otherwise I would've been at Bono's house!"

Gwyneth Paltrow has rubbished rumours suggesting she would perform with Coldplay at a lavish New Year's Eve event in Las Vegas.

The Oscar-winning actress's husband Chris Martin and his band are reputed to have been paid $1 million to play at the Cosmopolitan hotel's end of year celebrations.

Gwyneth Paltrow won't be duetting with Chris Martin (PA)
A report in a US newspaper suggested the luxury hotel's guests may be treated to an added bonus in the form of an appearance onstage by Gwyneth.
However, her spokesman has now said: 'There's absolutely no truth (to the rumour).'
Gwyneth has made a move into the music world during 2010, recording tracks with the cast of Glee and for the soundtrack album of her movie Country Strong.

Fans who had hoped to get a rare glimpse of Gwyneth and Chris performing together will be disappointed, although the rest of the Cosmopolitan's bill should more than compensate for that.
Jay-Z is scheduled to play a solo set and then perform alongside Coldplay in front of 2,500 guests at the New Year's Eve party, which is rumoured to be costing the hotel $25 million to stage.

Me neither, but you miss understood me...In the other topic i was just kidding with the Chris's lovers, he's not THAT ugly j/k again :laugh3: no reason to be mad at me. And i love Coldplay, OF COURSE, and i think Chris Martin is a big part of it, doesn't he? He's a genius imo ;)

Im new here, im starting to see that now...

Well welcome! :D Enjoy it here....

And no you're not the only one who dislikes Jay-Z, I like him myself (although not the idea of this gig) but each to their own :)

[howyousawtheworld]

Don't know if this is a good idea.

[labrat2001]

What's wrong with playing in Vegas?? NYE is HUGE out here. I'm just sad it's private, not like I'll even get close to getting that day off though :disappointed:

[ttm]

I wish "Uncle Jay" would go away. No disrespect intended, I just don't want Jay-Z involved musically with Coldplay.

[nouratan]

Im new here, im starting to see that now...
just dont say anything against chris and you'll be fine:kiss:

[howyousawtheworld]

I wish "Uncle Jay" would go away. No disrespect intended, I just don't want Jay-Z involved musically with Coldplay.

Yeah - it just doesn't mix. I mean Coldplay have done enough with Jay Z to last a lifetime already. Perhaps it's time for them to try someone new because, and I've got to be honest, it's getting really boring and repetitive now.

[aniskywalker]

Not really, you can say something against him ... you don't like his hair, his beard, his belly ... But he isn't ugly! He's the nicest person ever - inside and outside ;)

Jay-Z and Coldplay plan to share the stage in Las Vegas as New Year's Eve headliners at the Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas casino-resort.

Cosmopolitan officials said Monday that the music superstars would also play solo sets with the performances broadcast on the hotel's 65-foot marquee overlooking the Las Vegas Strip.

The Cosmopolitan says the concert is part of a three-day invitation-only celebration roughly two weeks after the resort opens. The $3.9 billion resort owned by Deutsche Bank is scheduled to open Dec. 15.

Cosmopolitan officials say the New Year's Eve weekend will also include a surprise performance on the resort's pool deck, which overlooks Las Vegas Boulevard.

__________________________________________________ __________

I guess it's not so much of a private show anymore then. Honestly they should just sell tickets to the public. SO many people (including myself) would want to go to this. Which I am, by the way. Even though I'll only get to see CP on some screen. I need my fix!

[MartinFan]

Not really, you can say something against him ... you don't like his hair, his beard, his belly ... But he isn't ugly! He's the nicest person ever - inside and outside ;)



:laugh3: AND he has a deep belly button for dipping:lol:

[melanieau]

Phew! Glad we got the important stuff sorted out :P

Now back to this little Vegas gig....really hope they aren't doing this private gig (to open a new Vegas hotel, no less) for a ridiculous amount of money. What's next? Nike swooshes on their stage outfits? :\

[jelynch2]

I'll be 6 months pregnant at that time, so I won't probably won't be able to fly across the country at that time anyway... but it totally sucks it's not open to the public. I seriously hope they come out and announce they're giving their money from this to charity or something...

[mksh24]

I love Jay-z so much

but never really like lost+, so not sure about them together again

[Tarkovsky2]

SAD! After that lousy Apple perfomance of Chris another one...

[pommeline]

^A birthday party for the sultan of Brunei is what's next, if this is true. I don't like jz's music, but I like that Chris is not a snob and all, however, this friendship is getting out of hand and the rest of the band should go on strike to prevent this from happening.:lol:

[howyousawtheworld]

This seriously cannot go ahead. Private? PRIVATE? If Coldplay have any ambitions to be the best band of our generation they've got to be a band for the people. Not for the few.

[MartinFan]

I don't understand why nobody likes this idea? This, band does not owe us anything, yes we are fans, they can't possibly cater to our every needs. They as a band are doing this show, and maybe others down the road, I support them as Coldplay, my favorite band, and if this is what they do, so be it.:cool: "Don't hate on me, this is just my opinion." Your entitled to yours and I respect that as well.

[Arwen Evenstar]

sell outs :angry:

[xxKels]

Wait- just look at the ridiculous amounts they have done/given for charity, just in the last year alone !
If they want to make bank on one evening to help support the wife and kids, let them have it. I don`t think it means they will soon be on your boxes of Post Toasties or singing jingles on TV adverts anytime soon. :dozey:

[mksh24]

YouTube - 99 PROBLEMS

listening to this right now/ cool story

[Juanma]

will we have vids of thee gig ? :sad:

[Juanma]

This seriously cannot go ahead. Private? PRIVATE? If Coldplay have any ambitions to be the best band of our generation they've got to be a band for the people. Not for the few.

I agree

[MartinFan]

I don't have a problem with this show at all. They can do as they want, whenever they want, I still regard them as my favorite band, buy their music and spend my money on concerts. I don't feel like they are betraying me at all, or that they are "selling out", there could also be a hundred different reasons they are doing this show, like
1. They enjoy what they do and it's an opportunity to ring in the new year with friends, family, and let loose, plus get exposure, and make some money while doing it. I see nothing wrong with it.:kiss:

[ViVA Child]

I got 99 donuts cuz a bitch ate one.

[roche714]

i just saw another article about this and it says that Chris Martin is performing,not Coldplay..




(AllHipHop News) Jay-Z has inked a deal worth millions of dollars, to perform at a swanky bash to celebrate the opening of the Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas on New Years Eve.

The New York Post reports that lavish party is being planned by party planner Colin Cowie, who has also booked Coldplay's Chris Martin to perform at the invite-only event.

Jay-Z will deliver his own set, as will Chris Martin. The pair will then take to the stage together to thrill the guests with mashup performance of their best known hits.

According to the Post, Jay-Z's wife Beyonce is also in the process of securing a performance in Las Vegas on New Years Eve, so the married couple can celebrate the holiday together.

[iduran20]

NOOO!! Why does it have to be invites only. :( I got excited when I read Vegas cause I soo could have gone to this, then those hopes were shattered. *sigh*

[xxKels]

:thinking: Well, it did say the show would be broadcast on a marquee screen outside- so there will be YouTubed bits show up ,I`m sure.

I agree too. So what if they do it and even if it's for some money. They give their fans so much for free like CD's after concerts, they do charity gigs, put lots of stuff on their website for fans like Christmas messages, not to mention all the amazing charity stuff they do and never make a public fuss about. Let them have fun doing a gig with friends and make some money. Who knows, some of that money might be funding something important like their studio or the next freebie for us. And if it's not and just going into their pockets for their families then good for them too.

[busybeeburns]

I can't imagine four families will up sticks and move to Las Vegas for new year just for a few songs. Must just be Chris Martin only... surely?

[Mimixxx]

Alot the news stories today seem to indicate it's just Chris, guess it makes more sense...especially since he is likely to spend at least some of the holiday period in the US, with family over there and all.

As long as they reveal and play some LP5 stuff, I don't care what the hell they do with Jay-Z. LP5 LP5 LP5.

False.
And they dont do christmas messages anymore

Muse has them beat when it comes to interaction.

[nouratan]

^thats true, muse are close to their fans but in concerts they dont do banter, coz no1 understands wht Matt Bellamy is ever saying, whereas coldplay make you feel close to them in concerts but they have no contact with fans outside the venue.
but not every1 can go to their concerts so i guess muse win,they are regular guys for their fans and coldplay on the other hand have become god like to us fans.:rolleyes:

[ViVA Child]

^THAT! and a bucket o chicken

they dont do banter, coz no1 understands wht Matt Bellamy is ever saying, fans.:rolleyes:


Thats cuz Mafffoo can Pwahnounce his "r"s

As a band they "Cater" to the Fans a great deal, with a great website, roadie updates, behind the scene footage, they try and make their fans apart of them as best they can, so compared to other bands I feel "Catered" to. Vegas is private, but people on the street can see it on the Jumbo Tron, Honestly Who cares.:dozey:

[MartinFan]

^Hello...yes I did...but SURELY they will make some tickets available to their fans.....they always are so good to us....:cry:


Well, I guess all the Celebrities, "invites" have to go somewhere on New Years Eve to get away for one big party without Fans interacting with them:P I have been to Vegas on NYE and this is a huge night, almost all the Hotels and clubs have private partys going on, oh and I googled the hotel and I didn't think it was so special, "The Rooms" and the 30th, 31st, and 1st are completly sold-out.

^Ah well , Trace....our lives suck...xx

[NumbersGirl]

Maybe they'll be inspired and write a new song while they are there and put it on LP5. Call it Las Vegas. Kind of like Amsterdam.

'cuz prostitution is legal in both places

[mc_squared]

Or maybe special "live" album called Viva La Vegas?:rolleyes:

[cpfan50]

False.
And they dont do christmas messages anymore

Muse has them beat when it comes to interaction.

WHAT! No Christmas messages anymore! Well screw them - they should never earn a penny from now on. That's it. I hate them. Selfish people! :P

Seriously though, they give 10% of their earning to charity and have done since the beginning even before they started earning millions. They do charity gigs and not that long ago they donated £1 million to Kids Company to help underrprivilaged kids. After all that surely we can't begrudge them doing a one-off gig for cash, whatever they want to spend it on. Chances are 10% of the money earned from that gig will benefit their charities so good for them if the bank the rest of it. I can't begrudge a band that does so much good with their money.

As for Muse, it's great they do lots for their fans too, but it's not a competition! :)

[ViVA Child]

I know its not a competition
but seeing how good the musers have it makes me yern for greener grass on thins side of the fence.

But now since those stupid dolls are gone maybe theyre make a vid this holiday season ... like the good old days.

thats right... i didnt like those LIT Dolls and Im saying it.

[Pguild142]

Regardless of who gets invited, according to this website, there are only 1800 seats in the theater. I will try Ebay. Somebody won't wanna go.

But now since those stupid dolls are gone maybe theyre make a vid this holiday season ... like the good old days.

thats right... i didnt like those LIT Dolls and Im saying it.

Neither did I, tbh. I have no time for "gimmicks". Even the uniforms went a bit far IMO.;)

[ViVA Child]

That's just how it should be.;)

I know.
I remember when I first joined the forum and I thought everyone was going to be super chill and we'd be like one big coldplay loving family.



HA!

[ViVA Child]

I know

hearing Chris say their going to try for a more stripped down less commercial album was MUSIC to my ears! (Sorry Mark, no pun intended)

I wish theyde play somewhere small. Doesnt matter where it is I would go.

Well we should be, as we should all be on the same "side".;)

alas that is NOT. the case

As you know, I love puns, so no need to apologise.:P

I totally agree. In general, stadium concerts are inferior.;)
I'd rather see them get back to basics and ditch all the "razzmatazz" which definitely became a feature on the last tour.
The "butterflies" and yellow balls can stay, though!:cool:

[mc_squared]

alas that is NOT. the case

Sad, but true.:(

[ViVA Child]

haha i was about to say "razzmatazz....wait NO keep the confetti!"

then i scrolled

they should add a swing rope too!

halfway through the set Chris can grab a rope and swing out over the crowd and to the c stage :P


oh and a mud pit! i want a mud pit!

and a slip and slide starting from the lawn and going down to the pit.


YES!

[Pguild142]

Not if i out bid you :sneaky:

Maybe we can work out a deal :wink3:

[ViVA Child]

what are you suggesting lol.....



i could stand on your shoulders and wear a big trenchcoat and we could both get in under one ticket?


besides, your in mississippi... im in california i have home turf advantage

[tigermilk]

End of day, most bands play corporate gigs and this is not Coldplays first. Usually you never hear about it. It is a way, to secure extra income for a few hours work. Let me assure you as someone who has been to several of these corporate gigs, they are pretty dull affairs where mostly everyone sits and politely claps. You aren't missing much. If you could attend, you will stood with 30-something bankers and high rollers you will be more concerned with checking their blackberries and iphones.



BTW For those slagging off playing Vegas, it is pretty lame. Some of us live here and have normal lives, in a varied multi-cultural city with some of the most diverse natural landscape anywhere in the world. It is not all about the Strip! Those early comments were pretty ignorant and prejudiced.
Besides every time Chris has played Vegas, he always like to joke that in 10 years he will be headline at the local cabaret and hopes we will still come along.

[Pguild142]

what are you suggesting lol.....

You do have home turf. Luckily ebay is free reign :P I'm suggesting if there are 2 tickets we split it evenly!

And don't worry about being in Mississippi... we have airports :laugh3:

So does this mean you could get us tickets? :thumbsup:

[backstreetchix97]

Cater to our every needs?
they arent cating to ANYONES needs... its fucking private.

How woefully elitist.

I mean i still love them but fuck its like its getting worse and worse.

I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing for them to do a private gig, they have enough public gigs with touring/tv shows/award shows and etc. Yeah this gig might be a private gig for those who have money/record exec people and etc....but hey at least they do WAY more public gigs than private gigs.

I dread to think what would happen to Chris if he ended up in the mud pit!:stunned::shocked2::stunned:

[NumbersGirl]

They shouldn't have given away (auctioned off) the wellies from Glasto

[LFDianne]

Well, I guess all the Celebrities, "invites" have to go somewhere on New Years Eve to get away for one big party without Fans interacting with them:P I have been to Vegas on NYE and this is a huge night, almost all the Hotels and clubs have private partys going on, oh and I googled the hotel and I didn't think it was so special, "The Rooms" and the 30th, 31st, and 1st are completly sold-out.

My mother in law lives in Las Vegas, so I wouldn't even need a room - but, sigh, I'll be in Hawaii for this years NYE. Yeah, I know, poor me... :laugh3: Aloha

[tigermilk]

So does this mean you could get us tickets? :thumbsup:

There are not any tickets. It is a guest list, so no chance of seeing tickets on ebay or craigslist. It is an invite event-if your name isn't on the list then you aren't getting in. And booking a room will not get you in-the Cosmopolitan was already sold out because it is fully booked for the corporate event. So don't get sucked in to a ticket-scam folks.

[ViVA Child]

I dread to think what would happen to Chris if he ended up in the mud pit!:stunned::shocked2::stunned:

LOLZ, I remember that

am I was the only one who was mildly insulted by that?

I mean I know its for charity and yeah great but selling off your muddy old ruddy boots? ...come on now.

Did they auction off the mud separately?:P

[drhouse4b]

ya think it'll be a super lp5 tour kickoff show?!?!
i dont think the whole band would come if they just played lost and most kings

[NumbersGirl]

Did they auction off the mud separately?:P
Unfortunately no, if I remember correctly the description of that lot said they still stunk. So that would be stench from 1) storage, and 2) mud. Eeew. I don't even want to think about that stench, and it's not like you'd want to clean it off since that would be part of the "nostalgia" (or something like that). I imagine it would smell worse than 10-year old Guinness.

[Tash]

I imagine it would smell worse than 10-year old Guinness.

The smell of Guinness, I think I have a pic of that!

[LVI56]

I can't imagine it would be too exciting. This certainly doesn't sound like Coldplay, but who knows, they haven't been out to play in a while and maybe need a little warm-up to get things rolling on LP5. Means the band is alive and well. Only a matter of time before they are back out taking over the world.

[ViVA Child]

If they did more private gigs than public their fanbase would be dwindling and we would have :srs:


EDIT
you saw them at shorline too? same here! aaahhh best day of my life so far, bar none,
no bars

[Jonnyslice.]

Gosh, I hope this doesn't become an often thing.
I don't LP5 to be like X&Y. Don't get me wrong, X&Y is great, but it doesn't have as much emotion as the other albums.

[ViVA Child]

Xand Y was fantastic IMO.

2nd to least popular but my personal fav.

[ViVA Child]

Did they auction off the mud separately?:P

That wouldve been a new low for sure.... "here buy the dirt off our boots cuz we iz famous rockband"

[MartinFan]

I'm gonna say it now, this concert isn't going to be anything related to LP5, IF they play anything new, it will be Wedding Bells, cause Chris has already kinda went public with it.
NONE of the invites on the guest list are gonna want to sit thru new material, when they are drunk, and whooping it up, they will want to party to familiar songs.:thinking:

[backstreetchix97]

I know, but I was just saying that's it's okay for them to do them once in a while :D I wouldn't want that to ever happen! And knowing Coldplay, I'm sure it won't.

Yeah, that day was awesome! I traveled nonstop on the road that week :D Best week of my life!

[ViVA Child]

I skipped the 1st day of summer school for it

it.
was.
epic.

[pommeline]

So it's been confirmed?

[opertain]

If this is true, then honestly, this is the most suck nad idea they have ever had! Still love em tho.

[chrisprm]

I don't understand why nobody likes this idea? This, band does not owe us anything, yes we are fans, they can't possibly cater to our every needs. They as a band are doing this show, and maybe others down the road, I support them as Coldplay, my favorite band, and if this is what they do, so be it.:cool: "Don't hate on me, this is just my opinion." Your entitled to yours and I respect that as well.

I AGREE 100% - dang people, what makes you think we got the right to tell them who to hang out with and make music with, and what to do on New Year's Eve??!! All you Jay-Z haters, listen closer, he has GREAT messages, performs with real musicians tastefully dressed onstage, not your typical skanky rapper - geez! :rolleyes:

I think part of the problem is that this gig is exclusively private, but then the resort putting on the show is saying 'well you can watch it outside on a big screen'. So there is a public teasing, but also a firm you can't get in. Plebs can stand outside and watch a screen, but the elite can see it up close and personal.
I think that is the only questionable element for many, because Coldplay have played lots of private corporate gigs-I saw Chris Martin play 5 songs at one. For the most part most of us never hear about these things, but they are an essential part of a artists life-they have to please record companies, sponsors, radio/tv. It is part of the corporate culture. EMI is owned by Terra Firma Capital and many of EMI's artists play private gigs for Terra Firma.

[Jonnyslice.]

you mustve skipped over track four.

Funny, cause that's my favourite song :lol:

I don't know if you guys know about the Jay-Z book comp but If you dont know, I'll shed some light.
Jay-Z's realeasing a new book called decoded and you gotta use bing to uncover clues, to then finally work out something about the book. :P
Why is this information important? Because the winner, get tickets to that New Years Eve show.
Would anyone enter?
I can't.
1. I don't know the first thing about Jay-Z except he raps, and he's friends with Chris and they did like 3 songs together.
2. I don't have a passport and chances are I'm too young :)

I live in Vegas, this gig is true. I wish I could attend... however, there will be a 65 foot screen in front of the hotel showing the concert. I am really thinking of going down there to see the concert on the screen, although I know that the strip is going to be crazy packed.

With a combination of 16 albums, 90 awards and over 230 award nominations between Jay-Z and Coldplay, this is sure to be the show of a lifetime. The two A-list artists are slated to each play an individual set, in addition to a joint performance, for the collaboration for the decade.

[Dany93]

^ That's what I wanted to read, it MUST be like that, couldn't be otherwise.

Because they're Coldplay.

[Long Live Life]

Like I said in the other thread, this best be a rumour. Otherwise I don't know what they're playing at.

Playing private gigs for rich people to make themselves richer....not good.

As it's a fund raiser for charities then it's pretty cool they're doing this. Lots of fundraising events take place in the US for alltrusitic reasons with rich people (I remember Stehpen Fry being guest speaker at one in Texas for example). The US has quite a strong tradition of the very wealthy doing a lot for charity with events such as this, which we don't have on anywhere near the same scale in the UK.

[Chloe_Martin]

lets all post a vid on youtube then we will all be famous and get to go

[taameen**sparks**]

i agree with this. :wacko:

plus, i feel like they probably won't be making as much money from it as people think. :P

i also agree with this, i mean its cool that they're doing a new year's gig in vegas and if they want to have fun with some friends and family then that's cool i still love them anyways

[iduran20]

I was wondering...is it official that they will be showing the concert outside the hotel on a big screen? And at what time? Cause I don't just want to show up to find nothing. Any information on these things will be appreciated. Thanks you. :)

[r25d01]

If I now booked flights to Las Vegas, I'd probably have no luck getting tickets as I would have had with the Newcastle show... And it'd be even more expensive... Couldn't I just win a pair of tickets including flights and accomodation? :D

Gwyneth Paltrow 'to sing at New Year'

Gwyneth Paltrow is reportedly set to join her husband Chris Martin on stage for a lavish New Year’s Eve party.

The actress has been showing off her vocal skills recently after playing a singer in new movie Country Strong and has revealed she would consider releasing an album. Gwyneth’s spouse Chris is the frontman of British alternative rock group Coldplay, who have recently been working on their new album.

It has been claimed Gwyneth and Coldplay will perform at the launch of new hotel The Cosmopolitan, in Las Vegas, on December 31, and could be paid up to $1 million each.

"To my knowledge, this is the biggest spend on New Year's Eve - $25 million over the weekend for 4,000 guests," Andrew Fox, CEO of newyearseve.com, which sells event tickets, told New York Post.

It appears Gwyneth and Coldplay won’t be the only high-profile acts on the bill. Hip-hop star Jay-Z and his wife Beyoncé Knowles – who are close friends with Gwyneth and Chris – are also rumoured to be performing at the extravagant opening.

However, a spokesperson for the hotel insists the acts are yet to be announced and has denied the concert is set to break records. "Gwyneth and Beyoncé are not confirmed for any kind of performance at this point. It would be incorrect to use the number $25 million," The Cosmopolitan representative added.

Any information on these things will be appreciated. Thanks you. :)The gig is not even confirmed on the official site yet but LA Times says this:Rock and rap collide on New Year’s Eve at the swanky new Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, when music heavyweights Jay-Z and Coldplay share the stage at the brand-new resort. Each act will also play solo sets, with performances broadcast on the hotel’s 65-foot marquee overlooking the Strip.

She'll be there, the part about her singing..... I just don't see it.... Unless, Chris departs the stage:D, Who knows she might come out with JayZ:thinking: or when Coldplay and JayZ hit the stage at the end to ring in the New Years sing
Auld Lang Syne, she might join them, but she'll stand on the opposite end of Chris:lol:

[imabityellow]

omg if this is true, it's really disappointing. I never thought that they would do things like this stupid gig... and Gwyneth should really be staying out of this. it's all about the money, I mean there's no other reason than money to play for rich people

[Ghost Toon]

My buddy is a huge fan and we'll be there. If anyone else on here wants to meet up lets get something together. Is anyone going to the actual concert from here btw?

Coldplay planning New Year's Eve concert in Las Vegas with Jay-Z

Coldplay and Jay-Z have reportedly agreed a multi-million dollar deal to play a concert together on New Year's Eve (31.12.10), at the Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas resort to see in 2011.

The event is being organised by celebrity party planner Colin Cowie and will be invite only with no tickets being put on general sale to the public. The show will see Jay Z and Chris Martin’s Coldplay perform separately and then together in a mash-up performance.

Guests will be treated to separate sets from Coldplay and Jay-Z before the two acts take to the stage together. Beyonce Knowles is also said to be planning to perform in Las Vegas on the same night so she can be with her husband to celebrate the landmark date.

A source told the New York Post newspaper: "Organizers have spent millions securing the acts. The word is that Beyonce is now looking for a Vegas New Year's gig so she will be in town with Jay."

Jay-Z and Coldplay have collaborated before on the track 'Lost +' which featured on the band's EP 'Prospekt's March'. The two acts performed the track together at the 2009 Grammy Awards and have toured together.

Chris and Jay-Z are also good friends with the rap star recently revealing the 'Yellow' singer's children, Apple and Moses, call him "Uncle Jay".

Money, money, money. But Chris's pal Jay Z is there so it's ok I guess.
FFS if Jay Z jumped off a cliff would Chris Martin follow him? Don't get me wrong I love the guy but what's the obsession with Jay Z? It really stinks of the sort of Hollywood sewage we get in celeb magazines.

Count me out.

Gwyneth Paltrow won't perform with Coldplay in Las Vegas

Gwyneth Paltrow has rubbished rumours suggesting she would perform with Coldplay at a lavish New Year's Eve event in Las Vegas.

Gwyneth Paltrow won't be duetting with Chris Martin (PA)
A report in a US newspaper suggested the luxury hotel's guests may be treated to an added bonus in the form of an appearance onstage by Gwyneth.
However, her spokesman has now said: 'There's absolutely no truth (to the rumour).'
Gwyneth has made a move into the music world during 2010, recording tracks with the cast of Glee and for the soundtrack album of her movie Country Strong.

Fans who had hoped to get a rare glimpse of Gwyneth and Chris performing together will be disappointed, although the rest of the Cosmopolitan's bill should more than compensate for that.
Jay-Z is scheduled to play a solo set and then perform alongside Coldplay in front of 2,500 guests at the New Year's Eve party, which is rumoured to be costing the hotel $25 million to stage.

""brother from another mother,.......""
http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/12061284

Hi dude!:D

http://news.bbcimg.co.uk/media/images/50540000/jpg/_50540498_jauz.jpg

Jay-Z: Coldplay's Chris Martin like a 'brother from another mother'

It's traditional to spend New Year with friends and family and Jay-Z gets to do both this year - and gets paid for it - by performing in Las Vegas with Coldplay.

The US rapper has told Newsbeat that Coldplay's Chris Martin is his "brother from another mother," and admits he sees him as often as possible. "I see him more than my own brother," he admitted. "Actually, I do!"

Coldplay and Jay Z will play separate gigs, plus a joint performance, on 31 December at the new Cosmopolitan casino and resort in Las Vegas. The luxury complex is rumoured to have cost £2.5bn and only opened a few weeks ago with an ceremony that featured Killers frontman Brandon Flowers. The invitation-only New Year's event is sold out, and while Jay-Z admits the show is expensive he also says it'll be relatively intimate.

The lucky few in the audience will no doubt be keen to see Jay-Z and Chris Martin perform a track or two together. Luckily the pair have history. In 2006 they collaborated on the rapper's track Beach Chair, and again in 2008 for the Coldplay song Lost. They have also performed live together several times - in London, at the 2009 Grammy Awards, and at a gig to open the New York Yankees' stadium in September.

The hip hop mogul is also upbeat about the chances of recording a new collaboration with Chris Martin: "If he'll allow me", he told Newsbeat. The rapper called the British singer-songwriter "one of the geniuses of our generation."

"Any time you can collaborate with that sort of genius, you jump at the chance, I don't care who you are."

However, another duet with wife Beyonce could be different matter. It's been a while since Bonnie & Clyde reached number two in the UK chart in 2002, and Jay-Z says another hook-up could still be a long way off. "I don't think she'll allow me," Jay-Z admitted. "But we'll see! It's her music, it's always the person's choice. You can't just turn up at their door and say 'I want to be on track four'. Otherwise I would've been at Bono's house!"

Jay-Z 'taking 50 rooms for his entourage for Vegas hotel opening'

Rapper Jay-Z is apparently booking 50 rooms for the lavish opening of the Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas.

According to a source, the star - who's performing at the event along with Coldplay on New Year's Eve - has "requested the rooms for his entourage and for his personal security".

As a result, hotel managers have had to rearrange accommodations for other important guests at the bash, produced by celebrity event designer Colin Cowie.

Celebs expected include Jennifer Lopez, Marc Anthony, Alex Rodriguez, Mark Wahlberg, Kristin Davis, Ellen Pompeo, Kellan Lutz, Jamie-Lynn Sigler, Olivia Munn, Emmy Rossum, Jessica Szohr, Mark Salling and Selita Ebanks.

Neither Jay's rep nor any of hotel spokesmen have disclosed the detail.

"We are looking forward to welcoming Jay-Z to the Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, and as is our policy, we don't disclose details regarding a guest's accommodations or other arrangements while at the resort," the New York Post quoted a hotel rep as saying. (ANI)

Why does Chris have to follow Jay-Z in this stupid thing?
There's a thousand ways he can enjoy himself on new year's eve, why this one?! :bigcry:

I don't understand why so many people hate the Chris/Jay-Z thingy, they obviously are very close to one another and have a special bond. TheVegas show, well, they have some fun, make alittle money, and ring in the New Year with family and friends.

[Dany93]

^ It's not I hate this, I don't know... Maybe I just wanted Coldplay to explain more about this idea, how it came up...
'Cause I'm afraid this repeats more and more so that they only play gigs to get money...
But I guess that's a nonsense, a stupid fear :P So I hope they have fun anyway, they deserve it!

It's cool, I wasn't calling you out, alot of people don't care for it.
If they make money good for them, what do I care? I really think this is just a fun thing for them with good friends and family, and slowly getting back into the groove, "I'm sure they miss the stage"
The money thing doesn't bother me at all, they do alot for charity's and I am sure they do alot more with charity's than any of us will ever find out about.
Have a good New Years!!!:kiss:

Well said. Nobody should begrudge the band this, particularly after all the money they raised for charity through the Crisis gigs.
I will never be a big fan of Jay-Z's music, because it's not really my "thang", but I do respect what he does after seeing him support Coldplay at Wembley, as he definitely knew how to work the crowd.;)
If Chris likes Jay-Z, you can be pretty sure the guy isn't an a*hole, anyway.

Midnight Madness: Valley venues offer plenty of events to help ring in the new year

The Las Vegas New Year's Eve party used to be inside, and then it moved outdoors. Now technology and the dawn of a new decade bring the inside out, with a new sense of equality.

If you didn't pony up $5,600 per couple to see Coldplay and Jay-Z when you still could buy in, clip a six-pack to your belt. The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas will use its 65-foot digital sign to broadcast the night's biggest show to the crowds who gather outdoors on the Strip.

"This is a really special moment for The Cosmopolitan, and I think we really want to celebrate that," says Lisa Marchese, who oversees brand marketing for the freshly minted hotel. "I think we have one opportunity to really introduce ourselves to Las Vegas."

This technological bridge is a fitting cap to a decade that charted the rise of the nightclubs in direct correlation to the fall of ticketed concerts and ballroom dinner-dance affairs, which were the Strip's main attraction to the very end of the 1990s.

Today's countdown also marks a full decade of the free fireworks that began in 2000, after Las Vegas came off as a big fizzle in worldwide coverage of the "millennium" celebrations of 1999.

It seemed to help. About 310,000 are expected this year, compared with 260,000 for the 1999 party (which, it must be noted, also was hampered by price gouging and "Y2K bug" concerns).

Once the free fireworks took over, concert headliners accustomed to being the center of attention for midnight countdowns were surprised to see people head for the exits as the midnight hour approached.

Even big stars who just might be in the neighborhood and willing to risk rejection -- say, Jay-Z's spouse Beyonce -- have learned they're more appreciated other times of the year.

"We didn't need her New Year's," Wynn Las Vegas chairman Steve Wynn says of his declining an offer by Beyonce's management to perform today.

"I want Beyonce at an off-peak time, so I can make an event out of it," Wynn says. "When we had her in the summer (of 2009), I picked the worst week of the summer, and she blew the lid off the place. All my customers came, and we had huge casino activity."

Today, they are here anyway. And they always have been on Dec. 31, whatever the year. In the pre-fireworks era, Las Vegas specialized in arena concerts (including, presciently, both Cher and Bette Midler in 1999) and dinner-show combos for older customers: As late as 1999, it was Wayne Newton in the Stardust showroom and the Guy Lombardo Orchestra in the ballroom.

In the past decade, players club marketing has become so refined that shows in that realm mostly have become parties for invited customers.

Nightclubs still were an emerging force in 2000. Now they rule the roost and offer their own star power. Rihanna may or may not actually sing at Pure -- club officials are giving her the option -- while Kim Kardashian probably should be encouraged not to croon at Tao (see Sounds for a rundown on nightclub attractions).

Here's how more of the madness breaks down:

Pyrotechnics

"America's Party 2011" is again a synchronized show by Fireworks By Grucci, offering 50,000 effects in eight minutes.

The launch points are the rooftops of the same casinos as last year: MGM Grand, Planet Hollywood Resort, Aria, Caesars Palace, The Venetian, Treasure Island and Stratosphere.

Las Vegas police announced Tuesday that the Strip, between Sahara Avenue and Russell Road, will close to vehicular traffic at 6:30 p.m. today.

Coldplay and Jay-Z

It seems an unlikely alliance, the American hip-hop mogul and the British soft-rock heartthrobs of suburban soccer moms. But these two have a history.

Coldplay singer Chris Martin guested on "Beach Chair" on Jay-Z's "Kingdom Come" album. The band in turn hosted him on an alternate version of the song "Lost" in 2008, and they performed it together on the Grammy Awards the next year.

"Launching a new brand, opening a new property at the center of the Strip is a once in a lifetime opportunity and I think John (Unwin, the hotel's CEO) treats it as such," The Cosmopolitan's Marchese said of an event mostly for invited guests, and therefore not expected to pencil out beyond its publicity value.

However, showing the concert to the huddled masses on the casino's 65-foot digital marquee is something "I think you'll see over the next year we're going to do a lot. As much as possible really," she added.

Oddly enough, of the two celebrity spouses, it's Martin's wife, Gwyneth Paltrow -- not Beyonce -- who is rumored on the ever-reliable Internet to be joining the show.

Specifics were vague on the concert's start time -- maybe 10 p.m., maybe 10:30 p.m. -- and whether it will include a New Year's countdown from the Chelsea ballroom, which occasionally will be converted into a concert venue during the new year.

TV Party

"New Year's Eve Live" on Fox returns to Mandalay Bay's pool area and outdoor stage, making it more visible to home couch potatoes than to the thundering herds on the Strip.

While other networks focus their late-night coverage on Times Square in New York City, Fox stays in Las Vegas except for about five minutes of the New York countdown.

"We don't want to miss that, we just want to provide an alternative," producer Bob Bain says of the broadcast that instead offers performances by Plain White Ts, Travie McCoy, David Archuleta and Las Vegas's own Jabbawockeez. Nancy O'Dell hosts, while Brandy serves as the correspondent in the street.

"A lot of people will claim that New Year's Eve programming is wallpaper," Bain says. "That's why we like it to be fairly heavy music-centric, so it doesn't require quite as much focus" to serve as the background in house parties.

The show is timed for the East Coast, so it goes off at 8 p.m. here (though it will be tape-delayed to run at 11 p.m. on KVVU-TV, Channel 5). "That doesn't seem to dampen the spirits of any of the participants," Bain notes.

Those who want to be part of the live audience can line up at 6 p.m. at the main beach entrance or the side entrance by the Mandalay Bay Events Center. Those who buy into Mandalay Bay's $75 "Block Party" can use their drink tickets at the beach party.

Fremont Street faux

The canopy over Glitter Gulch hosts "Tribute Palooza," which also continues Saturday and Sunday for those who welcome a second chance to see impersonator bands including Fan Halen, Red Not Chili Peppers, Aeromyth, Led Zepagain and -- ready for this? -- Green Date. Tickets start at $20 and include both real and "virtual" fireworks.

Hot tickets

Concerts haven't completely abandoned the big night. The notables include rocking with 30 Seconds to Mars at the Palms (see The Last Word), or crunking it with Puerto Rican rapper Pitbull at the House of Blues at Mandalay Bay.

The thin lines between "performing" and "hosting" in the clubs can be confusing. The Crown Theater at the Rio, for example, guarantees that comedian Eddie Griffin will say some funny stuff, but not that co-host Ashanti will sing.

Of course, Vegas has shows every day. Some of the resident titles adapt with a twist, such as Cirque du Soleil offering 4 p.m. matinees of "Viva Elvis" at Aria, "O" at Bellagio, and 4:30 p.m. runs of "Mystere" at Treasure Island, "Ka" at the MGM Grand, "Believe" at Luxor and "Love" at The Mirage. The "Zumanity" cast will actually party with you at the "Bridge Bash" in front of New York-New York, but don't expect it to break out into an orgy.

In the burbs

Youth might dominate the Strip, but the suburbs open the party to the young at heart, with the Society of Seven at the Cannery and Kool & the Gang leading the "Celebration" at the Eastside Cannery.

Station Casinos mostly holds sway with its year-round regulars. Lon Bronson's All-Star Band is a guaranteed party in the Ovation club at Green Valley Ranch. Sin City Sinners at Sunset Station and Yellow Brick Road at Boulder Station also have loyal regulars happy to put on silly hats for just such an occasion.

Will said that they really want to visit Venezuela in the next Latin American Tour.

I told them I was looking forward to LP5.

I didn't want to bother them much, they were just leaving a restaurant with Mrs. Champion and Mrs. Buckland with another friend who I didn't recognize.
