From Open'Er Festival homepage:
Coldplay at Open’er 2011!
We are proud to announce first ever Coldplay show in Poland at celebrating its 10th anniversary Heineken Open’er Festival in Gdynia. This is what we and our audience were waiting for – the big bang at the beginning of the announcements. They are multi-platinum selling artists, notorious winners of countless awards including Brit Awards, Grammy Awards, MTV Awards and Q Awards, but what’s more important – socially aware people and activists, talented and always searching for new ways of expression musicians and great live performers and they are finally coming to Poland to meet their dedicated fans and cause “a rush of blood to their heads”.

Coldplay got their 2011 calendar wrong ;)
Great news!
Try to be there early, this year, Pearl Jam was headlining 1st day of the festival and there was an enourmous que for the obligatory wristbands - 1st day + biggest star... with coldplay i expect it to be even worse ;)
anyway

Last year they streamed only two shows - Kasabian and Łąki Łan (but I'm not sure).
But they announced it only few hours before shows, so there is possibility that Coldplay show will be streamed.

I am eagerly awaiting for Princess of China and other new songs - but at the same time I want to save some songs for the actual release of LP5. It's going to feel a little bit moot if we have heard almost all the songs by then...
This new song is Don quijote from last latin america tour :) So i think it's only Princess of China

I watched it get posted song by song, someone just copied the entire Glasto set until someone went on and started mixing it up. I took a nap, and before I did the only thing different was Moving To Mars as the last song. Then I saw Princess Of China thrown in and a new song played after Shiver. I'd like to assume it was someone who went home and changed it after they went to the show themselves.

Even Moving to Mars is hard to believe. But if they did play it live, I hope there are some videos :P

It was mind blowing. Definitely the best live performance I have ever seen and the crowd was truly awesome! Their performance confirmed their title for the best band in the world! Looking forward to their own tour.

It was just... INCREDIBLE. Best experience in my life!
I was in the second row and saw (almost) everything. Almost, because of Jonny I didn't see Will much of the time ;p
I have to say that the crowd was amazing! Chris sometimes looked like he was surprised that we know words to every single song! ;) He also said that he doesn't know why their menager kept them out of Poland for so long. He mentioned that they would be back in our country next year! I'm thinking, maybe they are planning a new tour in 2012? ;)
They played Shiver, my favourite <3 One of best parts of the concert :) I almost cried when it started.
One terrible thing was that during three first songs about 30 people from rows in the front fainted and security guys had to pull them out. But luckily no one was serious injured.
I didn't take any photos or record videos because I just wanted to have the time of my life, sing along and jump and didn't care about my camera anymore! ;p

What a night, what a show!
Well it has been the 1st Coldplay show in Poland, but it wasn't for me and my wife.
We have seen them at top of their game in Germany (Leipzig 2005 - my wife claims it has been the best show of her life and Berlin 2008) average show in Hamburg 2008 (crowd!) and lowest of lows - Barcelona 2009 with many technical issues, too long breaks between songs etc.... this was something completely different.
We wanted to be at the front, so we managed to get to the 5th-7th row, but during National set it became obvious the we won't last there... there was no point standing in the crowd where you couldn't even raise your hand to clap - so crowded it was!
We found a little more comfortable space just on the edge of 1st mojo ring, and though we couldn't see that clearly at last we had space to jump and joy.
The roar was amazing when the light went off, then it was ride! With the fireworks explosions we started what has be one of the best shows in Poland we witnessed (and I've seen a few bands).
They played a Glastonbury set, so most people were unfamiliar with new songs (but still Major Minus and Charlie recived a deserved applaud!). I guess Live is for living and Everything not lost were also the lower points in terms of crowd reception, they should have swapped it for Trouble, it would have worked better with Polish audience.
Still, I am surprised to how well people sang, and obviously Chris was too, asking why the manager kept them from such a great crowd for so long. Viva La Vida was an absolute highlight, the whole field was jumping up and down and singing wooo ooo ooo! Scientist singalong also was amazing. I could write and write.
Clocks and Fix You with fans lighting everything possible and singing were amazing too.
I must say that Every-tear drop wasn't the best closer... Chris was barely heard where we stood and something was missing... we you can't have everything, apart from that....
It was a hell of a show, though I still can't figure out why they play so short sets (1h25m), I hope they gonna come back to Poland on their proper tour.
I must say that from the great arena's band they finally turned to stadium pleasers... since after Barcelona I had a great reservation about them handling such a great crowds... at least Gdynia proved me wrong.
Well done boys, amazing job - festival people :)
Today it's raining as hell, thank god it didn't yesterday.
I will post couple of movies and pictures soon.

You or your wife were at Leipzig 2005? This is the place I live! It was an amazing gig and I was really suprised as I saw Chris Martin in the city of Leipzig with some shopping bags. But I was too young and to feared to talk to him. :(
