Flowers, fruit and wine: Coldplay's demands for Colombian stay

Only a few days remain before British rockers Coldplay make their Colombian debut in the country's capital and they're expected to draw huge crowds. But what have the group demanded during their stay? Here's the band's rider, according to website estereofonica.

Members Chris Martin (piano, vocals), Jon Buckland (guitar), Will Champion (drums) and Guy Berriman (bass), will allegedly be arriving in Colombia in a fleet of 12 ultramodern tour buses and flanked by an entourage of 75, which will go directly to a undisclosed hotel in the north of Bogota. There the group will occupy an entire floor of establishment.

At the hotel they will be presented with twenty bottles of specially imported French and New Zealand wine, as well as some of the best local produce that Colombia has to offer in terms of tropical fruit and cut flowers.

However, they're not all extravagant demands - each band member will also be given a postcard to send their families at home, a tradition that the band goes through in every new location that they visit.

Coldplay will perform on March 4 in Bogota's Simon Bolivar Park as part of the South American leg of their Viva La Vida tour.

^that

sounds.... not like the coldplay i know and love

^
^It sounds made up to me.

"sounds.... not like the coldplay i know and love"

How so exactly? It's really only logical that they'd be traveling with a large touring crew, and that they'd stay somewhere top flight with all the amenties and whatnot. I would'nt worry about them "changing for the worse" based on an article that says they want some vintage wine and organic fruit.

I mean, really, the guys are HUGE stars now (as well as being hugely wealthy now.), it's reasonable to assume they're tastes have upgraded a bit. Doesn't mean they're somehow worse people than before. (Although, since I assume no one here actually knows them personally, it seems a bit silly to act like we "know" anything about what they're actually like to begin with...)

Personally, I could care less what they do as far as things like this goes, they make good music, and seem to work hard to give their fans a good show (which sadly, is a lot more than I can say for a lot of popular bands I've seen lately.)

Just my two cents...

missjasely96 · 24-02-2010, 10:50 PM

i think that it too good to be true...and anyways its not like Coldplay is asking for all entourage and wine...thats just like a welcome offer from Columbia..i love coldplay anyways...they havent changed in 13 years so there no turning 180 degrees on fans

Mig-El · 24-02-2010, 11:12 PM

the guy from a show in mtvla Gabo, maybe you know him and saw the 10+ today. He was being stupid as always (I don't like him) and said that coldplay demanded a postcard, flowers, energetic drinks and diapers cause according to him coldplay shows are not very energic so chris needs a power up and the diapers in case he drinks too much ¬¬

professa95 · 24-02-2010, 11:47 PM

Seems like our humble Coldplay likes the taste of the fancy life. But seriously i think its because Columbia is shocked at Coldplay's amazingness and theyre not willing to accept it.

well i hope your right
i mean yeah i love their music
but what really sold me on loving them the most is that they always came off as so humble and laid back.
id hate to see that go away

jelynch2 · 25-02-2010, 01:51 AM

I think it's so cute that they supposedly requested postcards to mail to their families. Is that where "Postcards from Far Away" came from? Am I the last to realize this? haha

Keddie · 25-02-2010, 11:46 AM

It sounds like they didn't have a choice about those gifts to me.

Actually though, this seems fake.
