Festival-goers had to wait until nearly 11 PM Sunday night to witness British mega-stars Coldplay to take the stage at the 2008 Pemberton Music Festival in British Columbia yesterday.

The eager masses threatened to knock over fences and storm restricted areas to get closer to what many consider the biggest band in the world.

For his part, frontman Chris Martin exhibited more than his typical enthusiasm and what seemed like genuine appreciation that people came to the remote festival and stuck around long enough to hear his band.

Coldplay was preceded by a hot performance by Jay-Z. For just over an hour, the hip hop star had the place in a tizzy. Some female fans showed their appreciation by flashing the crowd on the giant video screens – to great approval.

No word on whether the Jiggaman’s missus Beyonce was one of the women gone wild.





COLDPLAY IS HOT, HOT, HOT

This should come as no big surprise, but it does — Coldplay’s Viva la Vida is the No. 1 album with over 720 000 copies sold in its first week.

It’s also the second-best debut of the year, right behind Lil Wayne’s monster hit Tha Carter III, which went platinum in a week.

Viva Coldplay!
