stanh Posted September 9, 2022 Report Share Posted September 9, 2022 Can I just ask, when Coldplay headlined in 2016, how did people get the light-up wristbands? Did they come with the ticket, or did you have to collect them there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough, cheers! Was interested to know, because was thinking about the last time I saw Taylor she had the wristbands too, and if she is headlining next year and implements them, how we'd actually get them.

RossTC Posted September 9, 2022 Report Share Posted September 9, 2022 They were handing them out in the pyramid field in the hours before Coldplays set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazyfool01 Posted September 9, 2022 Report Share Posted September 9, 2022 Apparently also given out at the campsite steward caravans and information points as well as the pyramid field entry points … couldn’t track any down unfortunately… must have thought I was lit up enough 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also had a scheme whereby you could exchange a full back of litter for a wristband - I think this was happening in the camping fields in the morning / early afternoon.

When I got home I opened one up, did a bit a electronic butchery and managed to get it to light up. Still got it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I got home I opened one up, did a bit a electronic butchery and managed to get it to light up. Still got it. Did you figure out the tech. Like how it is controlled? On the current tour they draw shapes in the crowd (like love hearts) without any idea of where anybody will be sat or stood when they hand them out, so I'm thinking that there must be some kind of location tech / radio triangulation in them, well in the latest generation anyway.

No, just by passed one of the circuits and connected the cells to the LEDs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthernSoul52 Posted September 11, 2022 Report Share Posted September 11, 2022 To answer the title of the thread - because Chris Martin gets everywhere? If he's not doing the full Elton John a week on Monday at the funeral, I'll be slightly shocked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthernSoul52 Posted September 11, 2022 Report Share Posted September 11, 2022 Not sure which Coldplay song you'd trot out at the funeral of HRH though. A few inappropriate clangers in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avalon_Fields Posted November 3, 2023 Report Share Posted November 3, 2023 Everyone says nooooooo! I hope so then it's just me & Chris, the new Simon & Garfunkel. I'm looking forward to the royalties 😄 (If it is Springsteen, Coldplay must be ruled out as there's supposedly 2 women headliners?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I got home I opened up the wristband, by passed some of the electronics and got it working. Always meant to put in a wee switch to control it. Think I’ll have a go if I get tickets for next year,if they headline. That will confuse them😉😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the end of the gig you just dropped them off at a collection point. Wonder how that would work on the field considering the movement of the crowd after a headliner.
