Op vrijdag 16 november 2012 verschijnt ‘Coldplay – Live 2012’ op dvd en cd. ‘Live 2012’ is Coldplays eerste concertfilm/live album in 9 jaar. De film registreert Coldplays befaamde ‘Mylo Xyloto’- tournee, met concerten die sinds de start in juni 2011 al door meer dan 3 miljoen fans beleefd werden.
‘Live 2012’ bevat beelden uit concerten in Parijs – Stade de France en Montreal – Bell Centre en het bejubelde optreden van de band op Glastonbury 2011, toen Coldplay de Pyramid Marquee afsloot voor een uitzinnig thuispubliek. De regie van ‘Live 2012’ is in handen van Paul Dugdale, eerder al achter de camera bij Adeles ‘Live at the Royal Albert Hall’ en The Prodigy’s ‘Worlds On Fire’ concertfilm.
Coldplay-zanger Chris Martin: “The Mylo Xyloto tour has been the most fun we’ve ever had as a band. It’s felt very uplifting right from the start; partly because we are proud of the music, the LED wristbands, the pyrotechnics, the lasers and all of that stuff, but mainly because of the amazing audiences that we’ve been playing for. Over the years, our crowd has become more and more a part of the concert itself. They’re loud, diverse, full of soul, and make the songs sound much better than we can on our own. We wanted to try to bottle the incredible feeling that they give us, and hence our concert film.”
Live 2012 regisseur Paul Dugdale: “We wanted to make a film that was as intimate as it was epic, punctuating Coldplay’s colour-drenched performance with candid portraits of the band. The set is curated from several concerts around the globe, using the 75,000-capacity Stade de France as the backbone. Myself and JA Digital wanted to approach this film in the same way Coldplay approach their stage show: it’s essentially a film about people, and we wanted to highlight how the band have blurred the barrier between stage and audience to create a tour that reaches out to everyone from the front row of the stadium to those right at the back. It’s a 90 minute kaleidoscope of emotions. My main objective as a filmmaker was to make the viewers’ eyes widen and their hearts beat faster.”
