Coldplay in Vancouver

Coldplay Vancouver 2012

Saturday night in Vancouver can yield more than one entertainer and event to choose from, my last Saturday was won by the talented musicians from Coldplay.  Working in the entertainment industry I have come to realize there are two types of shows, a big budget experience show and an entertainer-focused, no-gimmick show. I usually lean towards a smaller more intimate experience show that has quality sound, seating and atmosphere with a performer that is there to entertain. But it seems to me that big budget shows with little door gifts and flashing hypnotic lights tend to bring in an immense audience.

Why is this? Are people more entertained by a big budget concert experience than they are with quality vocals and on-stage presents? Read More

As written about previously, Snow Patrol will be coming to North America to open for a small band you may have heard of: Coldplay. That’s right, in case you didn’t know, Coldplay will be starting to tour on May 15th with a focus on North American locations, and only a select number of European shows. In total the band will be performing 46 shows in promotion of their latest studio album, Viva La Vida or Death and All his Friends, which had topped the UK album charts only three days after its release, and resulted in 3 more Grammy Wins in 2009 for the British quartet. The tour will begin in West Palm Beach, Florida, and will continue through until August 9th in Tampa, Florida.

Snow Patrol coming to North America, opening for Coldplay

admin 1 Comment

It was just recently announced that Snow Patrol would be making their way to North America, taking a break from their European tour, to open for Coldplay throughout most of their June leg of the summer tour, beginning in Indianapolis on June 5th. This comes as big news to Snow Patrol fans who have been wanting a chance to see the band live — Snow Patrol has been touring across Europe as of late and would not have returned to North America until September 12th, where they currently have seven shows lined up for the fall.

Many fans have expressed a lot of excitement in the wake of this news, even going so far as to say they are looking forward to the opening act more than they are to Coldplay. If that is the case, fans better act fast as Coldplay tickets have been on sale for over a month, and a band of that magnitude will surely sell out, if they haven’t already. Coldplay finishes their first leg of the North American tour in Vancouver, with two shows in GM Place on June 20th and 21st, which also happen to be the closing dates for Snow Patrol as the opening act.
