I just looked in the paper this morning and found this article on the front of the entertainment section: http://www.herald.ns.ca/Entertainment/479611.html

 

Coldplay to heat up Juno show

 

International superstar pop band Coldplay will make its Halifax debut at the 2006 Juno Awards in April.

 

"Our Canadian fans are extraordinary — we love Canada!" said Coldplay lead singer Chris Martin in a CARAS news release today. The band has had a steady stream of number one singles in this country, and its concerts routinely sell out in minutes.

 

 

Wow... I hope I can get tickets, but it looks doubtful. Big acts may never come out to Halifax normally, but it looks like the Junos are finally becoming enough to bring them. *takes deep breath*

I really love Canada too :D

 

thanks for the info...but unfortunately I can't go... :P

In case anyones interested, I found the official press release: http://www.junoawards.ca/PDF/01242006.pdf off of the official site: http://www.juno-awards.ca/

 

For all the bellyaching about not having a #1 UK single, here's an interesting snippet:

 

Right from Coldplay's first single "Yellow" going to #1 at Rock Radio in Canada to their current #1 single "Talk," Canada has embraced this band. With concerts that sell out in a minute to police escorts at radio stations to the enthusiastic live audiences - the band is very well aware of their Canadian fans' devotion.

Shoot!

 

Ya beat me by 4 mins... :lol:

^ :lol: Hey... this is probably the first and last time that Coldplay and Halifax (my hometown! Yay!) will appear in the same sentence. No stealing my thunder- I really want to enjoy this. ;)

We'll have to make sure that those two words, Coldplay and Halifax are in the same sentence.

Wow, this sounds cool! :)

Thanks for the info!

yup should be good, looks like ill be sleeping out for these ones.

Camping out in february for tickets... now there's a cold thought...brrr.... but so worth it...

Haha, I just saw this on the ticker on CityPulse and then I went scrambling to see if this was really true on ctv.ca....and it was! :D oooo, you darn lucky ones that get to actually camp out for tickets! I'm too far, I think I should plan a trip over a *few* miles...hmm :idea2: I'd so do it. :smug: (camping out for Coldplay that is!)

I'm guessing they're going to win it cause they're making the trip there... Hope I'm right.

You would think so... but I read one article that said that the Black Eyes Peas are going to be performing too...
