Coldplay are the sort of soppy buggers to throw out their tour setlist and do something special for Glastonbury like doing a set drawn just from the first couple of albums exactly like people want. They will be thinking about how they top 2016.

 

This has been mooted in our WhatApp as well and I'm not entirely against the idea. Mellowing with age.

Probably not. Theyll keep the main bones of the show in there cause as mentioned above, the new material keeps things uptempo and such. I mean a special guest would be the route they go most likely again.  They probably wont do anything with the first 2 albums til they turn 25 which is coming up quick.

One of those fan-voted setlists (a la Metallica) might be a fun idea, if it does seem like their show will be a one-off.

It really wasn't. Having a flashing wristband doesn't make a set better.

If you weren't there, I don't think you can comment. I was for both and the atmosphere made 2016 better. Finishing the weekend, plus the Viola Beach tribute and you may have not like the Stayin'Alive bit, but it was off the chain brilliant. Oh yeah and the wristbands were brill.

Aye, that would be top drawer. I'd be very curious to see how it shaped itself.

Did QOTSA do this for 2011 or have I got it mixed up with Metallica?

Yeah QOTSA did it. Metallica’s Glastonbury set wasn’t fan voted but all the other shows they did on that tour were - I believe that was kind of how Sonisphere got around them no longer being an exclusive.

It's a fair point, and the Viola Beach bit was special, but the setlist is for the main part, awful in comparison to 2011.

To be fair, that Metallica set was pretty much straight-up gold dust in '14 here.

I actually cannot remember the 2011 setlist off the top of my head, but there were very few duds in 2016 outside of the material from A Head Full of Dreams, which as a record, I don't think has necessarily aged that well.

But everything else is pretty much a hit, and probably because of the emotional high I was on, Barry Gibb and Michael Eavis just took it stratospheric. It's strange; I compile that set as a Spotify playlist, and I'll zone out at points, but I was hooked like a fish all the way through.

Yeah I think you're right. In 2016 they basically imported their tour set at the time. I think they'd do the same with their current tour if they play next year. The unique Glasto set will be saved for when they perform for the final time on the Pyramid.

If there was a hybrid of 2011 set and 2016 vibe it would be perfect. If there is a fan chosed setlist this year AND wristbands... LORDY.

[CaledonianGonzo]

If the above is an example of a fan-chosen setlist my lukewarm enthusiasm for checking it out is already dying down.

Yes they did was absolutely tremendous 

[sedra]

Chris Martin still popping up everywhere even down under - apparently couple getting married in the park in Perth had unexpected visit from the man himself- they’d been walking down aisle to a Coldplay song and he happened to be nearby and jumped over a fence to say hi!! 
 

[CaledonianGonzo]

Imagine walking down the aisle to f**king Fix You.

Yes, there has been a definite buzz around here. Kind of odd.

You can tell not much happens here.

This setlist will be better than the real thing, they consistently play poor songs off the last album (Biutyful, My Universe, Humankind) at the expense of much better earlier songs (Speed of Sound, doesn’t get a look in but always considered it one of their best).

U2 were f**king ace

I don't think they helped themselves by plonking it directly between two dates on a US tour, so doing Baltimore on a Wednesday, Glasto on a Friday then back to Michigan for the Sunday. They really should've given themselves time to be not jetlagged.

That and Bono has said they couldn't hear their keyboards due to issues with the changeover after the pre-show DJ so they came in on the opening song in the wrong places, which didn't help. A shame as I love the Zoo TV aesthetic & Achtung Baby so starting off with 5 songs off AB in a row slathered in Zoo TV-esque imagery would've been a home run for me.

I like that they were willing to do it with full commitment tbf. I remember in 2010 Muse did a big "Choose a song on the setlist" poll where they'd pick a song from 5, only for it to almost all be the usual hits or Bliss or Citizen Erased (the latter of which made the Glasto set), and even then, by about halfway through that leg of the tour they dumped the idea.
