Good evening. Last night, we went along to see Coldplay’s first ever show in Poland. We didn’t do a live blog (the internet connection was terrible) but we did take a bunch of pictures which we thought you might like to see. And so here they are:
Poland, looking pretty from the sky
At the airport, working out exactly where we were
On the way to Open’er, which takes place in Gdynia
Coldplay soundman/producer Dan Green doing a bit of work before the show
Stern toilets
Open’er takes place on the site of an old military airport – and the various bunkers are put to good use
We’d probably rather have three soups than one portion of neck
Here’s Death, killing time
And here is trying to knock a chap into a pool of balls. As you do
A brisk trade at the stall selling Coldplay music
The rather lovely Open’er big wheel
This photo, we’re sure you’ll agree, is a bit "arty"
Wonder if she knows that’s there
Open’er’s portaloo promenade
A guard, guarding something
We had the borsch. It was lovely.
A chap on one of those motorised parachute things, getting a great view
Some fireman on their engine, also getting a great view
The National were on directly before Coldplay and they were excellent
Great to see so many fans in the crowd (considering it was Coldplay’s first ever Polish show)
The Polish label presented the band with some discs. As you can tell, spirits were high
Seconds before going on…
The moment they’d been waiting a decade for
And we’re off
From the first song, the response from the crowd was amazing
It was a very big crowd, too. And so onto some more live shots…
Little known fact: Coldplay are actually *from* Poland (not even the band know this)
Big thanks from the band for what was a genuinely wonderful crowd
Until next time, Poland
And with that, goodbye
It was another top night, on what’s becoming a pretty special run of shows.
