Backstage: Coldplay show on Oslo (23.11.11)

We took some snaps as Coldplay performed for Nordic fans

Hello and welcome to the Sentrum Scene in Oslo, where Coldplay will perform at 3.45pm, by which time it will already be dark

Chris and Jonny head onto the stage for a look at the venue before doors open

Will joins them and they pull faces. Not exactly sure why

Chris graffiti'd piano

Will has a little bash on his drums, while Bash checks his cymbal

There are probably some really cryptic messages in here

The band have a quick warm-up before the show

And the post-huddle thing where they all throw their hands into the air

    

Then it's time for the traditional pre-show huddle

Standing by the door to the stage

After you, Mr Martin

                           

                      

                         The view from the balcony. No, you're right, it wasn't really worth the walk

The dressing room

Careful Jonny, there's a monster down there

The show was being filmed for broadcast on TV in Scandinavia, so there was no photographers' pit to stand in (yes, we're getting excuses in early for these live pictures...)

The view from where Jonny's guitar tech, Matt McGinn, stands

At this point we decide to go and take some pictures from the balcony, which involves having to leave the venue by a side door and walk around the side to the front entrance

Back at the front (again, having wandered around outside for a bit)

The front row, having a lovely time

There are an awful lot of corridors at Sentrum Scene. A monster apparently lives at the end of this one 

Oslo gives a mighty roar of approval as the band finish what's been a rollicking, hour-long set

       

It might be cold outside, but as you'll gather it's pretty blooming hot inside

Here's what they played

                               

                        And so to the dressing room...

HALF BRITISH, HALF ARABIAN
