Will they majorly change the setlist for the actual tour?

[heelsrule1988]

I hope so... it would be a bit disappointing to see the setlist stay mostly the same as the festival setlist (with the exceptions of the new songs from the album that they'll add). I hope the only thing that stays the same is MX/Hurts Like Heaven leading off and Every Teardrop Is a Waterfall finishing.

[QuestionsOfScience]

Well of course with the new songs introduced on the album they'll add them in, and to make them work with previous releases, they'll have to shift out some...my money's on them taking Everything's Not Lost off definitely...sadly...

[MorningGlory]

in the Viva tour they play 25 songs in a full concert. i guess they wouldn't do long concerts like that. 20 songs i think. and when MX is out or probable earlier they play more songs of it. The only old song that i want in the full concerts setlist is Lovers in Japan :wink3:

[admnistramation]

I think they'll have two setlists: one will open with HLH and the other CB. Are any of these shows going to be pro-shot like the festivals?

[Kiame]

Yes, of course it will. They'll include a lot more MX material. Paradise will certainly be part of the set, as will a few others. I think they'll ditch Life is for Living. But I love that song, it's one of my favourites so I hope they don't!

Coldplay will never open any festival ever, in any era, with Charlie Brown. Not a chance.

[admnistramation]

Rock Im Park says otherwise.

[Ronnie O Sullivan]

Untill Mylo Xyloto is released, i just want to have Paradise being included in their setlist,probably Princess of China because they played it once...But no more new songs because i wanna hear some really new material when i listen to MX the first time...

[Major_Love]

Rock Im Park says otherwise.

The setlist at this gig was quite chaotic.

But really, there isn't a high possibility that CB will be the opener of a concert because CB is going to be a huge single of the new album and big hits are often in the middle-end of a concert.

*cough*YELLOW*cough*
*cough*IN MY PLACE*cough* :P

But no, I get what you mean, things like Viva and CB are likely to go towards the end.
I liked CB as an opener (despite only seeing it done like that via YouTube), but MX/HLH was far better in that position.

Seeing as MX may actually be a full song instead of just an intro, I'm really curious whether they'll keep MX/HLH as the opener.

[Corkus]

Festival sets by any band are traditionally shorter than a standard headlining show. But in terms of old songs being played, I wouldn't expect a dramatic switch. Just a bunch of additional MX songs being added.

[Twisted mind]

They better play In My Place :whip:

[Stv]

^overplayed and overrated

In My Place :whip: |out of MX Tour Setlist

[Hartroc]

They better play In My Place :whip:

Wouldn't mind if In My Place dropped off the face of the earth, actually. :laugh3:

[SonnyIanni]

They will probably take off songs like Everything's Not Lost, Life Is For Living, Politik, and Violet Hill. Those songs aren't some of their greater hits. Not songs like Yellow, In My Place, Clocks, Fix You, The Scientist, Lost!, God Put A Smile Upon Your Face, and Viva La Vida. If they keep those 8 hits and the 6 new MX songs (not including Moving To Mars) that they played at the summer festivals, then I'm guessing we are going to get at least 6-7 new MX songs on the tour. My theory sounds as if they will be playing Mylo Xyloto in it's entirety but I'm just speculating!

[Stv]

MX tour setlist:

Complete MX tracklisting but in different order
.
and
.
Viva La Vida
Clocks
Fix You
The Scientist
Lost!
Violet Hill

[The Sleeping Sun]

They will NEVER drop Viva, Yellow, Clocks, or Fix You. Period. Now assuming they don't go all X&Y on us and not play one of the songs off of MX AT ALL, they'll probably play like 7-8 (possibly more) of the MX songs per concert, and switching between them a bit at time goes on. That's 12 or more songs right there. The only 8-10 songs will be mostly Viva, and AROBTTH in my opinion. We may hear like some random X&Y song(s) (Low, SoS, SITS?) and probably Life Is For Living still but I think the majority of the "old stuff" they will play will be songs like Politik, LiJ (every now and then), Lost!, Violet Hill, In My Place, GPASUYF, The Scientist, and possibly Amsterdam or DAAHF in the place of Life Is For Living later on in the tour.

But that's just my guess...watch me be totally wrong and they play Bigger Stronger at every gig. XD

No way Yellow gets dropped. I hope they bring back Lovers jn Japan. The butterflies arent as magical with In My Place. I wanna hear Strawberry Swing again, my all time favorite.

[GTskilled]

They wont ever drop Politik.... its one of their favourite songs as well as the favourite song of many coldplay fans. And of course they will play nearly all songs of MX.

Also they will never drop Violet Hill or something..

[Wickett]

If they never played anything off their albums before Viva La Vida, I would be okay with that, even though I would miss Life Is For Living (epic piano). A concert made entirely of MX and a few songs like Violet Hill, Viva La Vida, or Lost! would be awesome. Yes, this includes Moving to Mars. I would love to hear that live again.

And if any song of theirs needs to be brought back, it's Yes.

[admnistramation]

I think Yes is more of a Viva piece. They could play Ode To Deodorant 23 times in a row but I would be perfectly content seeing Coldplay if they were to play Princess Of China and Chinese Sleep Chant. No correlation between the two both referencing China, I guess it's just coincidence.

[the_gloaming09]

Don't count on it. They pretty much never change their setlist. If I see them live this go around, it'll only be once mainly for that reason.

[coldplayfan24]

I think they should drop Politik, GPASUMF and Violet Hill

Warning Sign, White Shadows maybe, Amsterdam (added every once in a while)

Moving To Mars should be permanently added!!! and ENL/Life if for living should not be removed.

Other then that alot of new stuff and the classics.

[Brent]

^No no no.

They should NOT drop Politik. Or GPASUYF. How are those not better than Warning Sign and White Shadows?

[Alien Radio]

They should play Bros and Sis. :D

[MorningGlory]

They would never drop Yellow, Clocks, The Scientist, Politik, God Put A Smile Upon Your Face Fix You, Viva La Vida, Cemeteries Of London. I'm hoping for they replaced Lost! by Lovers in Japan and In My Place for Talk or Speed Of Sound.

[Major_Love]

Lets wait until MX is out. Maybe except CB, HLH, UATW, PoC, Paradise all the songs are shitty?

[Brent]

Cemeteries of London isn't really a must-play. They only played it at half the festivals this summer, anyway.

I think it goes like this:

MUST PLAY
Viva la Vida (obviously)
Fix You
Clocks
Yellow
The Scientist

SHOULD PLAY
Shiver
Lost!
Every Teardrop is a Waterfall (though it's a little early to assess its long-term impact)
Politik
In My Place
God Put a Smile Upon My Face (normal or remixed)
Death and All His Friends OR Life In Technicolor ii
Violet Hill


That's not my opinion, it's just what I believe. I think it's fairly accurate. Not counting songs from MX.

My opinion would be that they must play Amsterdam, Green Eyes, Death and All His Friends, Politik, White Shadows, among others.

[The Sleeping Sun]

They haven't played White Shadows or Low, or What If since X&Y I think....I have a feeling one of those will replace Square One on this tour. (They would usually play Square One in the middle of the concert during the Viva Tour)

[MancakesTheBand]

I didn't think they played Square One at all during the Viva Tour. The only X&Y songs were Talk, Fix You, and Chris's solo version of the Hardest Part.

[BloodlessRevolutioner]

I hope that they play Death and All His Friends!

[hente44]

Yeah, but plus Til Kingdom Come :)

[ChadBC]

Exchange "Moving to Mars" with "U.F.O." every so often during the tour. :smug:

Mylo Xyloto
Hurts Like Heaven
Yellow
In My Place
Paradise
Princess of China
Major Minus
Lost!
The Scientist
Shiver
Violet Hill
God Put a Smile upon Your Face

Twisted Logic

_____________

Lovers in Japan

And then every once in a while during a leg of a tour do this.

^Oh, sweet memories... ♥
If they play for at least 100 minutes and include Amsterdam, my dream setlist has come true.

[TyM218]

They'll probably do a remix of some songs too, like they did with GPASUYF/Talk. Also, there will probably be an acoustic set too.

I'd like to see lovers in japan again, that was the highlight of the concert for me.

I'd also like to see:

Life in Technicolor ii
Everythings not lost
Amsterdam
Cemeteries of London
Swallowed in the sea (Acoustic would be nice)

[Stv]

^ Life In Technicolor ii FTW :dazzled:

[Tryptophan]

A lot of oldies will disappear for more new songs off the album. Paradise, for example.

[mrkjhnwht]

I want 42. <3

[Stv]

42 songs on the setlist!!!! <3 GREAT

[AerodynamiX]

The can drop In My Place & Yellow and add some songs from X&Y :). Would love to hear Low live!

[admnistramation]

^This. This so much. :awesome:

[Samuel_94]

I'm hoping they sneak something unpredictable like Twisted Logic, AROBTTH or White Shadows!!!!!

[Ronnie O Sullivan]

If i got a wish for free than they should play The World turned upside down !:drummer::drummer:

[Cleggy]

I think it'll be very similar to the festival shows but with a few of the older songs swapped with a few more of the new songs from the album. Songs like The Scientist, Clocks, Yellow, Fix You and Viva La Vida will obviously be there. I have a feeling they'll be playing those 5 in every festival or tour show they do for the rest of their careers.

Yeah it's like when you are going to see U2, you are going to hear ''where the streets have no name'' & when you go to Bon Jovi you can't leave without hearing It's My Life. Every band has his hits they play every concert because the fans want that.

Now my own opinion, I gonna make a setlist that would be perfect for me, I will include new songs that are possibly on the album

Mylo Xyloto (Instrumental)
U.F.O
Car Kids
Lost!
Speed of Sound/Talk > Switched every once and a while
Tomorrow
Princess of China
Glass of Water

[Ronnie O Sullivan]

I would love if it would be that way (especially if they play the original version of Talk)..but i think its a bit to much...not for us...but for them ;)

[austengirl]

I was just reading what Roadie #42 posted about rehearsals. What does DLIBYH stand for? I'm clueless trying to figure out what song that is!

[RobinMulder]

This isn't the first time they told something about DLIBYH. They tweeted something about it before. Maby it is a super-mega-song that is to awesome for the world and will keep it as a suprise?

I would love if it would be that way (especially if they play the original version of Talk)..but i think its a bit to much...not for us...but for them ;)
Then they may have a break for 15 minutes :thumbsup:
