NASHVILLE (Billboard) - Coldplay's ongoing Twisted Logic tour is doing huge business at the box office in North America, but the group already has its sights set on a return engagement.

 

After the December 20th close of a European tour, Coldplay will return to North America in February for an arena tour that will run through mid-April, the group told Billboard.

 

The current tour is proving as successful as Coldplay's third Capitol album, "X&Y," which in 11 weeks has sold 1.9 million copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

YES! i am so excited

FUCK! I missed them this time around and i'm going to miss them again! I'm going to be in Italy the entire spring from january-may! I was hoping I could catch them over there someplace but now it looks like i'm doomed to not see them..... :embarrased:

^Awwwwwwwwwww! That sucks dude! :( They should seriously plan their tour dates around THE FANS plans!!!! :P

 

Hmmm... I wonder if they'll do a third leg, or! Go into the damn studio!?!??! Now that's an idea! :idea2:

I don't know what I'm gonna do. I'm still trying to find the bootleg of the show that I missed (Pittsburgh) (and had tickets for) but couldn't go to. :embarrased:

Who knows, maybe there WILL be a third leg!! There's still a chance you might be able to see them! (And *crosses fingers* a new live DVD! I never got to see them on the last tour for ROBTTH, and if it weren't for that DVD I'd be so devestated!)

Woo hoo!! Right around tax retun time too! YES! Maybe I will try to get in 3-8 shows getting me up to 20 total. There goes my plans for new furniture! bwahahaha

are venues/dates posted yet, or are they still in the works?

Red Hot Coldplay Looks To The Future

By Ray Waddell, Nashville

 

Coldplay's ongoing Twisted Logic tour is doing huge business as the box office in North America, but the U.K. group already has its sight set on the future. Following the Dec. 20 close of a European tour, Coldplay will return to North America in February for an arena tour that will run through mid-April, the group's manager, Dave Holmes, tells Billboard.

 

The current tour is proving as successful as Coldplay's third Capitol album, "X&Y," which in 11 weeks has sold 1.9 million copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

 

Given Coldplay's love of touring and recording, does one conflict with the other? "Yes, in a way," Holmes says. "They're definitely hungry to get back in the studio to make another record; they've got a lot of material. So for next year we're looking at building a tour around their recording schedule. Ultimately it could potentially mean we end up releasing another record [next year] and continuing to tour well into '07."

With Coldplay's rapid growth and global appeal, some have compared the band to U2, which continues to sell-out out stadiums and arenas worldwide.

 

Holmes balks at the U2 reference, but sees why some would make it. "I'm not a big fan of comparisons, because these are really different bands in terms of their music," he says. "But I suppose there are some similarities in terms of the way we're trying to build it, and I don't disagree with why people would have similar expectations of this band."

RAH!!!!!!!!! I WANT NEWS OF AUSSIE TOURS!!!!!! :cry:

they haven't posted that there coming back did they

God, I wish they'd come to Western Canada.

 

Please, please come to Western Canada.

:stunned: :stunned: :stunned: :stunned: :stunned:

 

 

 

:stunned: :stunned: They are coming again? :stunned: :stunned:

 

 

 

Anyone knows when the tickets go onsale? :idea2:

 

 

 

:stunned:

Hopefully this time I actually get selected to participate in the presale.

 

That was a sad day. :embarrased:

Again? Brilliant.
