THIS !! They could have played one song even without their presence, I'm sorry but Coldplay are for sure the biggest British band right now. British music theme without mentioning them? No way.

am i the only one here who is very glad coldplay wasn't involved at all? you couldn't possibly get more cheesy and mainstream than the Olympics. plus lodon was nothing compared to beijing! the opening ceremony was just ridiculous.

I was thinking this after Russell Brand came out. Did we really want them at the same event as Russell Brand?

They've already been 'together' at the 2012 Secret Policeman's Ball, so it wouldn't really be new.

Anchorman just tweeted this, it couldn't be much clearer than this

For those asking, Coldplay were never due to play the Olympics Closing Ceremony. They play the Paralympics Closing Ceremony on 9 Sept. A

Yeah that's why I'm kinda confused about everyone whining about it, nothing was said that confirmed about such a thing
