I'm glad I bought mine on the first day!

[blue_girl]

I just want to warn people coming from other countries, that the place where the festival is taking place is not correct on Coldplay Facebook page, they put it like,

Aires,Portugal

but it´s

OEIRAS , Portugal!

So, please when you here, dont look for a place called Aires lol

[LittleMissMessy]

So as I can see there are some people going :)

I'm in Portugal for a holiday, spending time with a friend of mine who lives west of Oeiras and I have my ticket secured already, so I'm really looking forward to this :D

Only going on the 6th though so when is everyone starting to queue up?

hiiii hope you are enjoying your trip here :D

Im thinking to go at 1pm, after lunch. no need to go earlier, its a wednesday so people will only go to the venue after work, i think is ok :) even though is sold out, i dont think there will be trouble with getting a good spot in the front row ..

[WS]

The 6 of July im going to be at 12 km of Oeiras
This is a good reason to kill someone :|

So how 'big' is this festival??
How many people will be there each day??
Haven't really checked their website yet, I have to admit ... :(

Do you think it would be okay to meet up?
As I will be on my own and it's always more fun if you don't need to spend the time waiting on your own ...

I'm really excited after seeing the Glastonbury performance last night :D

[Denise]

Completely OT but I finally see the pic from Berlin in your avi :nice: /OT

[busybeeburns]

This festival is quite new, this is gonna be the 5th edition :) so you see how young it is.. but its growing and its already one of the biggest festivals in Portugal.

This year there will be around 55,000 people in the venue, 5,000 more than the last editions and 6th July is the only day this year that is sold out :)

The last time that coldplay played in Portugal it was in 2005! we missed the viva la vida tour.. so its a return to lisbon and we expect a REALLY GOOD gig ! :D

Of course you can join us! will be in the fron of queue thats almost for sure :D just ask for Claudia or blue girl, ill say hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

[rush]

i will try to be there before 1pm, we could all meet there :)

[blue_girl]

yes rush!

update !! there are more 2,000 tickets available! So there will be almost 60,000 people watching COLDPLAY!

:dance::dance:

[Mrs.McFly]

9 DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :bomb::bomb: OMG OMG OMG :dead: I'm too excited! :lol:

[LittleMissMessy]

yes rush!

:dance::dance:
I would really like to get an aditional tickets to invite the friend I'm staying with.
She's a stewardess and just got her schedeule that she will be off on the 6th. She didn't buy a ticket before as she didn't know about her schedule back then. :(
And right now she's flying again and won't be back before Sunday.

I will fly to Lisbon this wednesday and will be staying with her in Alcabideche :)

Really looking forward to this.
Anyone knows where to get one of these extra 2000 tickets?
Or anyone got a spare?

Btw. my name is Kirsten :)
Would be really great to meet you all there :D

oh you can buy online here http://www.ticketline.pt/EscolheLugar.aspx and choose the option to pick up the ticket at venue or once you are arrving wednesday, look for Fnac stores :) they also sell tickets

[LittleMissMessy]

Oh thanks very much for this tip! :)
I guess I will have a look at these Fnac stores as buying online means picking up at a certain time.
And in case I decide to queue early, it usually collides with picking up the ticket. Too complicated. :confused:
Reckon' I try on wednesday. If I'm still lucky to get a ticket, then that's great, if not ... bad luck :\

[Raphaele]

as I also want to be front row, I will certainly queue with all of you:)

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES !!! :D :D

[brisk]

Hey guys,

Been a fan since Rush Of Blood and Parachutes is my favourite album, in fact it is the best from the beginning second to the end...

I haven't been able to catch these guys yet so I'm heading to Lisbon from the UK to see them.

I was totally bummered to see all these same sets an only Yellow from Parachutes :( But then watching Glastonbury I was like to my friend "I THINK THAT'S SHIVER!!" then it kicked in.

Man, did I get lucky or what, hopefully they keep these in the set!

8minutes ago


So I guess it still hasn't started!

[WS]

The movie is ending,but im not sure it will stream the concert :C

PD: But I recommend you to watch the movie,is a masterpiece :lol:

[DefDazz]

The movie is ending,but im not sure it will stream the concert :C


It turns out that isn't a livestream, just showing the basic TV channel.

There is no live stream and the show has already been on since 10pm local time almost 50 mins ago.

[analoeskah]

Oh my God baywatch.

[WS]

No,the show is in 10 mins,here is 10:50 and in Portugal is 9:50

I'm watching a crappy movie for nothing T.T

[jeremyy]

[DefDazz]

No,the show is in 10 mins,here is 10:50 and in Portugal is 9:50

I'm watching a crappy movie for nothing T.T

of course, yes same time zone as the UK. Used to Europe being 1 hour ahead...:)

Just looked around again and according to some bands forums SIC Radical did show stuff from last years festival.

So some footage may surface afterwards.

[radiohead_pt]

Oh my God baywatch.

:D. At10:00 pm they will show a special transmission of the show so i guess they will show the concert.

[analoeskah]

The tvtuga stream is really bad quality.. :( The other one is still offline here..

[radiohead_pt]

Dont complain. Oh and they will not show Coldplay.

[42rock89]

[WS]

[radiohead_pt]

Yes.

[Juanma]

[Juanma]

No other streams apart from those two :sad:

[42rock89]

Grrr... nothing worse than hearing them playing HLH in the background while they continue talking...

[jeremyy]

I can hear Hurts Like Heaven :S

[Lukestar1991]

On the Radical stream i can hear Coldplay finishing Hurts Like Heaven, theyre not going to show it.

[jeremyy]

[Lukestar1991]

[squibby92]

4. Major Minus now

[WS]

And White Shadows,and Low,and I'm so close from there aaaarggg

[Steph589]

Can hear Major Minus in the distance =(
That's even more frustrating than seeing and hearing nothing.

[Juanma]

:sad:

[42rock89]

Lost! playing now.

What on earth are they talking about? :/ The disco dancing with Major Minus in the background was very slightly amusing though.

[Lauriane]

Think I'm just going to forget about this stream and watch Glastonbury's performance again

[squibby92]

Lost! being played now

[jeremyy]

i think they fall in love chris.

[jacek2015]

Now The Scientist... nothing new so far ...

[maria_shiver]

they don't work :/

*in my place*

holy shit.....:angry:we can only hear them from afar!

[WS]

i think they fall in love chris.

Why? xDD

[Steph589]

Think I'm just going to forget about this stream and watch Glastonbury's performance again

This is the best thing to do, definitely.

[jeremyy]

Why? xDD

didn't you hear :D they always saying chris martin chris martin chris chris chris ogh!

[maria_shiver]

Can hear Major Minus in the distance =(
That's even more frustrating than seeing and hearing nothing.



yep....I'm going to eat something!:\

[42rock89]

Shiver now, very odd how they changed it for CoL just for one show!

[squibby92]

SHIVERS BACK!!!!!!! :D

[WS]

didn't you hear :D they always saying chris martin chris martin chris chris chris ogh!

Is because he's hot :lol:

Maybe tomorrow in Bilbao we can see something,not? it's something!

[jeremyy]

Is because he's hot :lol:

Maybe tomorrow in Bilbao we can see something,not? it's something!

I hope .... But get ready for T in the Park concert in BBC3 & HD !!!!

[Lauriane]

Shiver now, very odd how they changed it for CoL just for one show!

I think Guy wanted to change for CoL and then he saw all the messages of hate toward him so he went : "Okay, let's put Shiver again" :lol:

[squibby92]

I think Guy wanted to change for CoL and then he saw all the messages of hate toward him so I went : "Okay, let's put Shiver again" :lol:

damn right he felt the hate the other night haha, i would have been mega pissed if they hadn't played it. Good to see the band discovered the majority rules rule haha

[At High Speed]

The best thing I found was this radiobroadcast: http://radiocomercial.clix.pt/player/flash/index.html

Edit: I take it back! They aren't broadcasting the gig.

[42rock89]

Violet Hill now, GPASUYF next then if Everything's Not Lost is still there, everything will be the same as the Glasto setlist

[squibby92]

Violet Hill now, GPASUYF next then if Everything's Not Lost is still there, everything will be the same as the Glasto setlist

good, that was the best setlist coldplay have ever had, i hope it stays the same

EDIT: GPASUYF on now, the setlist is looking good :D

[42rock89]

good, that was the best setlist coldplay have ever had, i hope it stays the same

I'm just a new material junkie, I want to hear Princess of China!!!! :(

[Lukestar1991]

Its the standard setlist, its not going to change anytime soon.

[DefDazz]

this is a bit annoying but at least after all that the original link gave setlist updates...

[WS]

But is the setlist of the festivals,not? In the regular concerts it will still the same?

[squibby92]

I'm just a new material junkie, I want to hear Princess of China!!!! :(

as much as i've enjoyed all the new stuff i'm an absolute sucker for any parachutes material that hasn't been played for years and years and years and years (basically imagine this being retyped for about an hour haha) especially when them songs are shiver and everything's not lost :) can't wait for sunday now!

[squibby92]

everything's not lost is still there

if that and shiver stay in the setlist then i could die a happy man haha

[DefDazz]

new song

celebrity apprentice...or perhaps not.

[WS]

New song? Really? :awesome:

[the_escapist]

link, anyone?

[Juanma]

What?!

[coldplayfan_115]

^^Seconded!!! :o :o

[MosesTheMarshmallow]

ARGH WHY AM I AT WORK. :veryangry2:

[juanif94]

I don't think they played a new song. I hope i'm wrong but I just don't think so.

[squibby92]

they didn't, what it was is that the stream that was on wasn't showing coldplay but you could hear them in the background. The show ended and celebrity apprentice came on, it was a joke, you had to be there really ;) haha

[Juanma]

How was it?

[LFDianne]

How was it?

Someone who was there told me it was "absolutely amazing" and the "crowd was going wild." I'm looking forward to more details!

[whiteshadows]

Hi.

I just arrived from the concert. It was really great, Chris sounded great, the guys did a fantastic job and it was really wild at times. I have videos and photos, but I was a bit far away, not sure how it turned out.

Idk if there's anything extra I could add. Well, before Us Against the World Chris said "This song is called Us Against the World and it was written specifically for portuguese people." Which got people laughing and then he said something else but I couldn't hear it.
He also said they loved Blondie and dedicated one of the songs to them.
It was a really diverse crowd, sure these guys get to everyone.

It was awesome to see them 5 years after!! And I was so happy they did Shiver and Everything's not Lost, I hadn't seen the setlists they have been using, so it was a nice surprise. I also loved how they did God Put a Smile Upon your Face. It was one of the best moments of the night, it really got the crowd going.

I just can't wait to have them back.

[LittleMissMessy]

Here's the setlist from last nights show:

http://images.instagram.com/media/2011/07/06/e3ef0ebfe31442408745249be7921315_7.jpg

I was at the very right side of the stage, second row and around my area I had REALLY lovely & nice people who helped me to enjoy this show even more.

The crowd was really going berserk at times but since everyone missed out on the VLV tour, this is even more understandable ;)

I thought queueing up and the whole entry itself was quite poorly arranged.
The run to the stage was over 1 km, so I only ended up at my spot and not any better.
But it was completely okay, some of my pics turned out pretty good considering the distance but for some obvious reason, I have most of them from Guy :D :wink3:

I will post some of them on saturday when I get home as I am currently on my friends computer and need to resize the pics first.

I was a bit concerned at first as one of the other bands (Grouplove) had major sound problems (sound went down completely or better the speakers went down) so I had huge worries that Coldplay may suffer from this as well but the sound was just perfect & Chris's voice more than brilliant.

[aRushofLeonor2TheHead]

I'm sorry, I've got to say this in Portuguese... QUE PUTA DE CONCERTOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

it overcame all my expectations, really... I couldn't ask for a better concert, seriously, it was the best fuckin' evening in all my life :D

[mc_squared]

Raphaele texted me from the show to say that she and Lea (LilyC) had made front row, centre, and has since texted the following:

"Best show ever! Fantastic crowd! And have a look at VLV during which Chris and Jonny recognized us."

For anyone unaware, they were also at PinkPop, Rock Werchter, and Arras, and are now on their way to Ireland.
Quite a hectic schedule if you ask me!:stunned:

The last text I received read: "Boarding for Dublin. Exhausted, but wow!":rolleyes:

only one of Jonny, a quick glance of guy and absolutely nothing of Will :dozey:

It's like the paps were nailed to the floor

[Mimixxx]

Unfortuantely Guy, Jonny and Will don't pay the bills...it's shit but you can't blame them for wanting to get the money shots.

[Tugatrix]

One Word: Amazing !!!!

Chris try to make a joke about the portuguese debt situation, telling the music us against the world was composed thinking about portuguese people lol

[AdrianaRM]

BEST. SHOW. EVER.

[Juanma]

:D

Awesome reviews

Thanks boss for pics

[LoverInJapan]

Well, I was there and made it to the front row :D

The whole thing was phenomenal!!! I had tried to lower my expectations so I wouldn't feel sad or anything afterwards but there was no need to because I was blown away from beginning to end.
It's not that strange considering it was my first Coldplay concert. However, I had been following the festivals they played at, watching the livestreams and everything, so I knew what was coming. But I really didn't :)

The setlist was basically the same, except for Shiver, as you know, and that was a complete, pleasant surprise. I couldn't believe they were playing that since we-know-who is always mentioned as being against playing it :P

Speaking of which, I had the misfortune (the only one though) of being in front of the camera and the man blocked my view of Guy for quite some time and of Chris a few times during the show. BUT I don't care because I still got a great experience out of it.

Saw a few roadies I recognized and Phil walked in front of me a couple of times, as he was taking pictures right in front of the stage. Little trivia: he smelled like coffee.

I was so blown away by everything, from the way they sounded so great live, the fact that they seemed genuinely happy and pleased with everything, the crowd that was really good and sang for most of the show (the new songs were not as well-known for most people), the lights, the confettis (I have a few M's and X's :D)......... everything was astonishing and overwhelming. I couldn't ask for a better show, really.

It doesn't matter if it was a truly exhausting day, for me, because in the end, that hour and a half more than made up for everything! I didn't think I could love them more,yet I do. They were truly wonderful.

[busybeeburns]

thanks for all your reviews! :D

[Major_Love]

Always interesting how different the reaction on Coldplay shows are with regard to the last festival in France and now in Lisbon.

@LoverinJapan

How did the crowd react on the new stuff? ;) Nice review by the way.

[Teardrop]

I just loved the concert.
It was finally the first time I could see the band live. I left home at 5.15am, and after a almost 2 hour drive I arrived at the entrance. There I spent my morning waiting for the doors to open, and under a burning sun I waited for 15 hours.
And I only have to say that every second I waited was worth it to be in the front row.
Just amazing. I loved every aspect of their performance.Their presence,their passion to their music! Chris Martins voice was splendid!
The new songs aren't learned yet by the audience(at least near me where I stood) so when they played Us against the world I felt like I was singing along alone :P
Well, after this I just feel like I need to see them again,no matter what...I really hope that in their next tour they will include Portugal.

[whiteshadows]

How did the crowd react on the new stuff?
Hurts Like Heaven was the first and with the fireworks people were really excited during the whole thing and singing the "so cold so cold".
Us Against the World, if I remember well people were reacting to it with clapping so I think the crowd was enjoying it, despite you seeing more people talking to each other during that song than any other. lol
I think people loved Charlie Brown, at least in the zone I was everyone was clapping and even jumping a bit to it.
MM, some people recognized it, some seemed distracted during it.
In general people seemed to enjoy everything.

@LoverinJapan

Thank you :nice:

Like whiteshadows said, even if people didn't know the lyrics or anything about the new songs, they seemed to enjoy it. During Us Against the World, they clapped and seemed to be quite fond of the song. The other ones are more upbeat and it made people move a little bit more, so it was embraced in that sense.

As I knew the lyrics to the new songs, I felt at times that I was the only one singing, although I heard someone singing Us Against the World behind me and I was really happy that more people knew about it.

It's interesting because outside, while we were waiting, people always seemed to want the old songs from the first two albums, but when Everything's Not Lost, Shiver and Life is For Living came on, there wasn't that much of a difference from newer ones. So, in the end, everyone was pretty much jubilant that Coldplay were there :D

It was a long wait, that's what seems to me. We want them here way more often ;)

[whiteshadows]

With it being a festival it seemed people were more excited and reacted more to the songs from the last album or the most radio played ones. VLV got the biggest reaction out of all songs. It seemed like a collective orgasm... not even kidding, people went so wild.
Then of course Yellow, Violet Hill, The Scientist and Fix You got people really happy and singing along too. Oh, same with Every Teardrop. A lot of people seemed to be familiar with it and the concert went out with a bang.

Even though I was happy they played ENL and shiver and Politik, people around me weren't so familiar with Those. And I wish they were. That's a difference between being in a festival and a band's concert. I remember the last two Coldplay concerts here which were band's concert in a pavilion and people knew all those sings from beginning to end.
Everything's Not Lost was my most memorable moment from their concert here in 2003.

[LittleMissMessy]

Okay ... trying to post some pics.

Will need to resize & upload them properly though.

this shot is perfect.. thanks for sharing

[#42vera.inês]

Damn, what a concert! :dance: It was my first Coldplay concert! I couldn't believe when I saw them! :awesome: One of my dreams was becaming true!

The crowd was amazing! I was in the second row and everybody around me was jumping and clapping! Me included :D During the most well-known musics like Viva La Vida, Yellow, In My Place, Fix You or The Scientist everybody was singing. It was beautiful! :)

Like other people had already said, most of the crowd didn't knew the lyrics of the news songs but they made a lot of noise clapping and screaming!
The ballons and the confettis were absolutely amazing! The atmosphere was fantastic during that! I brought some confettis and a white ballon :D
In the end of the concert, I was so tired! I think I never had been so tired in my life! But, I didn't care! I was so happy! :D It worth waiting for ten hours under a burning sun! Now, I have a sunburn in my nose :laugh3:

I will try to post some pictures and videos soon :)
PS: I think I saw some of people of this forum!

[LittleMissMessy]

Home again from Portugal and I'm going to share a few more pics though they aren't as 'spectacular' as all the other (semi-)pro photos from people in the photographer pit or being front row center. ;)

I was 'only' second row to the very right side but given this, I am more than pleased with the outcome of my photos :)

Oh ... and I forgot to mention in my review that I was interviewed for portugese TV :laugh:
There was this girl asking fans who they came for and first they interviewed some guys to my left, then the girls in front of me and then me and the 'reporter' was kinda disappointed when I replied to her question that I hadn't made a sign for Chris, as she kept asking everyone whether they had a sign painted for him ... CP is not only Chris, you know ;) :laugh:
Well, I've been told that this station was channel 3 or something but I couldn't remember the name of the programme. Anyone got a clue??

Okay, so here's the promised photos ...

*haha*
I took it before the set, when everyone was still 'calm' & kinda quiet.
Many of my pics are also blurry not only because of the zoom/distance but because everyone kept jumping up and down and once you've focused, someone 'pushed' you and damn ... the good shot was crap ;) :laugh3:
So this one isn't actually completely in focus, maybe someone else has a similar one or will take one ... :)

[Raphaele]

hello from Dublin! The portuguese gig was awesome, we were front row right in the middle. The crowd was amazing! You couldn't hear Chris on Yellow:)

AUDIO RECORDING!!!

Hi Everyone!

Seems that no one has recorded the concert... EXCEPT ME, ONCE AGAIN! :confused:

I have recorded the 2005.11.23 Show at Lisbon, Pavilhão Atlântico (which I posted some time ago across the Internet) and now, once again, got a last minute ticket (lucky me and lucky You!) went to the concert and recorded the entire show!!!

The sound is not as good as the 2005 show, 'cause this one was an air open concert.
I'm still working hard editing the sound (which has some distortion), but as soon as I finish it I'll post it here.

Cheers
Nuno Miranda

P.S. - Notice that I've only recorded the Audio. Unfortunetly, I haven't taken any pictures nor filmed any part of the Concert.

LOL i think i found you, are you Vera Ines araujo? You were in front row :|


Yes, I am. :D I was in the second row with a tall boy and the man with the camera in front of me! :(

I saw you too. I was thinking to go to that part but there were too much people there so I stayed where I was.
