Speed Of Sound on Radio mid-april:

 

After "Politik," Coldplay brought out "Speed of Sound," the first single off X&Y, which goes to radio stations in mid-April. The tune also has a breakbeat similar to "Square One," but the guitars are more prominent and the solos in the bridge make for a more anthemlike number.

 

40 show tour:

 

Coldplay's only two confirmed North American dates for 2005 so far are on April 29 at Las Vegas' Hard Rock Hotel & Casino and the following night at the Coachella Music Festival in Indio, California (see "Coachella Snags Coldplay, Nine Inch Nails, Weezer, Bright Eyes, Wilco"), but according to the band's management, a 40-city North American tour is scheduled to kick off in late July.
