all depends on the start time of the Capital FM show.

I hope it won't effect their Manchester performance through tiredness, it also saddens me to see Coldplay amongst such awful acts, no wonder they get so much disrespect

Coldplay

Coldplay have been announced as the first act confirmed to perform at this year's Capital FM Summertime Ball in London.

The band, fronted by Chris Martin, will take to the stage at Wembley Stadium in London on 9th June 2012.

Coldplay have enjoyed a hugely successful 12 months following the release of their fifth album 'Mylo Xyloto', which included the singles 'Paradise', 'Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall' and 'Charlie Brown'.

As well as opening this year's BRIT Awards in London, the band are currently on a world tour in support of the album, and are due to play sold-out dates in the UK later this year.

The Summertime Ball 2012 line-up will also feature a host of some of the biggest names in music – with the rest of the acts ready to be announced later today.

Meanwhile, the band debuted a clip of their music video for 'Princess Of China', which features Bajan star Rihanna, on their current North American outing.

Tickets for the fourth edition of the event go on general sale on Monday (23rd April 2012) at 8am.

If you're a Capitalfm.com VIP or a Vodafone customer, you can get access to an exclusive tickets pre-sale now.

Keep your eye on the ball by visiting our special Summertime Ball area for all the latest information on this year's hit music event.

Summertime Ball 2012

Sorry if this is a silly question but what is this clip they're talking about? I've only seen some pictures.

EDIT: Nevermind, I've realized it must be the clip they're showing of Rihanna when performing the song with Chris singing along.

Q: What time does the Summertime Ball start and finish?
Doors open for at Wembley at 2pm with showtime beginning at 4pm. The event is due to end at around 10.30pm.

-----------------------------

Looking at previous Summertime balls they have an opening act and closing act that do at least an hour set, so Coldplay opening with an hour set til 5pm? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Summertime_Ball)

Cutting it short though to get to Manchester for 8pm.

Anyways i got tickets for the Summertime ball to take my niece and how excited i was when they announced the 1st act

Missed out on the tickets for the London gigs this time so at least i see them here.

Jenjie · 22-04-2012, 07:16 PM

so Coldplay have to be on at 4pm as the flight from London to Manchester is an hour and they'll presumably need to eat in between

Tash · 22-04-2012, 07:20 PM

That's a very tight schedule!

podiumboy · 22-04-2012, 09:12 PM

Is this some kind of charity event?? Because otherwise, it makes very little sense for them to play this show. Even from a purely financial perspective, it's a relative waste of time.

Coeurli · 22-04-2012, 09:44 PM

The only reason that would make sense to me is that is promo for PoC...(and $$$$...I mean £££££££)

J4MIE · 23-04-2012, 12:00 AM

Sounds do-able. Chopper parked outside waiting for them, no problem at all.

Or it could hover into the stadium and they could climb up a rope ladder, Bear Grylls stylee!!

JackColdplay · 23-04-2012, 12:14 PM

Coldplay haven't actually announced this themselves haven't they?

Haha they announce it the very minute I ask if they've announced it

mrsspoon · 24-04-2012, 08:16 AM

I couldn't quite believe that Coldplay were on the line up for an event like this, I don't really get it....however....my 6 and 8 year old daughters have been on at my husband and I for a while now wanting to see Coldplay (they're brainwashed, poor kids!).

My 8 year old loved Take That last year, but it was more of a show with different things going on, I don't know how they'd be with Coldplay, and from a completely selfish point of view I want to go to Coldplay and enjoy it rather than worrying about them!

With Justin Bieber and The Wanted on the line up for the Summertime Ball it's something we'd consider doing as they love them too, and I won't begrudge toilet breaks etc!
