Live updates and pics from Roskilde Festival

1.34pm (Roskilde time): Hello and welcome to our live Roskilde blog. We're not actually with the band yet, but we will be soon (we're on our way to the airport). As it's not totally clear what the situation with wi-fi will be in Denmark, we've embedded the Twitter feed above, in case we can only update using that. But the plan will be to update this page itself with pictures and videos and news and wotnot.

2.41pm: OK, we've made it to the airport. None of the band are here just yet. This, though, is evidence of how the other half live...

Shortbread anyone?

3.01pm: Crikey, The Oracle's reputation appears to growing...

And all that for answering Coldplay fans' questions.

3.22pm: Mr Champion in the house...

3.32pm: Here's Jonny...

3.40pm: Guy's here. Wimbledon's on the telly.

3.45pm: Right, we gotta board the plane. We'll post a pic of Chris once we're there...

6.07pm: We're at Roskilde. Pictures coming...

6.09pm: OK, so here are a couple of pictures from the flight. The reclining chair was home to Jonny, who caught a few winks on the way...

6.18pm: Eagles of Death Metal are currently rocking the main stage where Coldplay will be playing in a little under four hours. The band are in the dressing room, we're just outside on a picnic table-cum-office which now has four computers and a lot of cables on it...

6.27pm: Chess is the new rock 'n roll...

6.37pm: Guy, Will and Jonny are in the dressing room, playing guitars. Here's a pic. Video coming shortly! (Chris is not here yet, should be here soon)

7.03pm: Here's how it's looking on the stage (Madness are on next, then it's Coldplay)

7.14pm: It's fair to say that the band and crew are all *very* excited about the Wimbledon final. What a titanic match!

7.35pm: Well done Mr Federer. You've made your biggest fan (Arlene, one of Coldplay's management team) very happy indeed. The band have gone to get some dinner. Pictures of the Roskilde site coming in a sec...

7.42pm: Roskilde Festival looks a little bit like this (it's been going since Thursday night, so forgive anyone looking a little rough around the edges...)

7.50pm: It's Guy with his pal Magne from a-ha!

8.00pm: Two hours until stage time and Jonny is in the dressing room learning to play The Entertainer on his guitar. Odd, but true.

Chris should be here any minute...

8.21pm: OK, the good news is that Mr Christopher Martin has just arrived. The bad news, from a live blog perspective, is that he's gone straight to get some dinner. But rest assured. we will post a pic as soon as we can.

8.31pm: Four little radio packs, ready and waiting...
