busybeeburns Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Another full summer Coldplay US arena tour annoucement may be round the corner as Live Nation has listed a second US date at the Sommet Center in Nashville, Tennessee (screenshot taken in case it disappears!). This follows just hours after a new date in Birmingham, Alabama was confirmed. The two dates, almost three weeks apart, look to be joined with further shows in between, with more in early-mid May and mid June also a possibility. Four June Canadian shows were announced yesterday in Winnipeg, Calgary, Edmonton and Vancouver. This comes as Chris Martin explains Coldplay's ambitions, comparing them to triple Olympic record holder Usain Bolt. He admitted that the band are constantly striving to be the best in their field. "I know we're not shitt," he told the Herald Sun. "We want to be like Usain Bolt, we don't want to be the guy who came fifth. It's not enough to get into the Olympic finals, you've got to win it." Chris Martin added that there is more pressure on recording artists than ever before. "We're on our fourth album, we're doing about as well as you can ask to do, but there's a blessing and a curse to being in a band in 2009," he said. "The curse is there's so many things that have gone before you it's difficult to be original and also you're competing against all those things in history from Beethoven to Sigur Ros to Gabriella Cilmi.

Philly would be great again! As far as U2, they will be at Giants Stdm...go to U2.com and see their virtual stage ... it looks like takes some time to set up this very innovative 360 stage. But you never know... they are known to add more dates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not nearly as convenient as 15 minutes. :P I know, it's so incredible. I won't believe it until it's officially announced. First was Coldplay, then No Doubt, now U2. If only The Killers also announced a Tampa or Orlando concert, this would be the best year EVAAAAAAAAAAAH in the history of Central Florida concerts :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noonsun Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 oooh exciting. Of course, Nashville is 2-3 hours away, and my parents probably aren't going to drive down there so I can see a concert. But if they come again next year, I should be able to drive down there. Or, maybe not. interesting, at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
