I live a few miles outside of D.C., and love coldplay... I have never been to a concert, much less a coldplay one. WHEN WILL THEY BE IN THE D.C. AREA?

or where can I find this stuff out on my own.

well their X&Y tour just finished so no luck there, but there will be another tour when their next album comes out. but that's not soon so don't get excited right now ;)

do you know if they will just have some type of concert, not a part of the tour?

I really don't think so, as they are having their break now but I might be wrong. you can ask Debs Wild on at coldplay.com if you like :)

Im pretty dure they wont be around and where doing any shows for ages, as twisted clocks said you just missed their tour, and most of there concerts in america are with a tour. but maybe in the next 3 years sometimes they will be back. but until then have a look around here especially thr multi-media section there are heaps of videos, b-sides and never released tracks to keep you interested until they come back
