A wicked weekend!

Sooo… I had an absolute fantastic couple of days this weekend!
Coldplay was just insanely good! Oh my god! I want to book tickets for a new concert already. We got to Wembley stadium about 4 o’clock Saturday afternoon, got our tickets and since we weren’t that keen on standing waiting 5 hours till Coldplay were gonna go on stage, we went to a restaurant to eat dinner and kill some time. After finishing a big plate of Tandoori chicken, rice, Nan bread and a salad we walked back to the
stadium just in time to find a seat at the back to watch a group called Girls Aloud sing and perform for about 45 minutes (which was long enough for my taste in music). Since we had combined tickets that meant we could stand or sit as we pleased we were more than happy to sit and relax at the back of the stadium. Suddenly it was 19:30 and it was time to hit the floor with 20.000 other people and wait for Jay-Z... MAN it was crowded down there! And the stage was quite low, so when Jay-Z came out on stage, we could hardly see him behind all the tall English people. Well, anyways he preformed for about an hour and he was quite good! Much better than Girls Aloud. (not that it takes that much) After he left the stage there was more waiting for about 40 long minutes, but then we started to hear the familiar tunes of “Life in Technicolor”.....*drumroll* and there they were!! It was quite unreal to see someone so famous and that you have seen on TV and heard on the radio numerous of times, suddenly stand in front of you on a stage. They delivered one heck of a show though!!! And when they started to play “in my place” which is one of my favorite songs it started to absolute poooooring rain! Haha it was so insane! It was just one of those moments you feel so alive. Standing there singing at the top of you lungs together with 70.000 other people while it’s just poring buckets of water. Aaah!

Luckily it stopped raining after a little while, but we were already completely soaking wet with mascara running down our faces, but I couldn’t really care less.. I was at an effin’ COLDPLAY concert!! Then they started to play the song “yellow” and huge yellow balloons were bouncing around the audience as they were singing. And then they asked everybody to take up their mobile phones and create a massive wave throughout the whole arena. It was so cool! It was just insane to see so many people at one concert. 70.000!! That’s more people than it lives in all of Tromsø. I just have to say Coldplay has to be one of the best live bands out there! They are just phenomenal at creating a good show!

Half way through the set we decided to get out of the massive crowd on the floor and go up to the seats on the side so we could get a better view of the stage and everything. They played more of their awesome songs; fix you, the hardest part, viva la vida, violet hill, 42, strawberry swing+++ And then (unluckely) the show started to come to the end, but they had still not played “the scientist” which is my ultimate favorite Coldplay song… I was really hoping they would play it, and when they announced that they only had two more songs to play I was so afraid I wasn’t going to get to hear it live.. But then Chris Martin went over to his piano and started to play some random notes that suddenly turned in to be the familiar tunes of non other song than “the scientist!” I was sooo happy! Gosh! It had to be the highlight of the concert! Karoline and I were singing so loud we were getting hoarse, but that didn’t matter.... They played their last song, thanked everyone for coming, set off some fireworks and left the stage… aaaah! I would have given so much to go back to that day again! It was a night to remember!
