CBS RADIO stations across the country will feature three day’s worth of exclusive programming and content in conjunction with the release of Coldplay’s forthcoming album Mylo Xyloto, which debuts worldwide on Monday, October 24. Eager fans can get up close and personal with the band and their new music through a series of CBS RADIO programs and concerts across the globe. These special events, which will include over the air and streaming webcast concerts, fan questions and answers from the band, as well as hosting a national radio program, follow the band’s appearance last month on CBS Interactive Music Group’s flagship concert webcast series, Live on Letterman, where they played a nearly hour long set, (http://www.cbs.com/late_night/liveonletterman/coldplay/video/).

 

 

 

On Tuesday, October 18, the World Famous KROQ’s Kevin & Bean (weekdays, 5:00-10:00AM/PT) will host a live Coldplay webcast from the all-new KROQ Red Bull Sound Space at 7:30AM/PT as a part of the ongoing “Kevin & Bean’s Breakfast With” series. The band will perform and answer questions from lucky fans, who can only win their way into the show through the station. The intimate show will be streamed live for fans nationwide at http://www.KROQ.com and can be heard on-air, online and through the Radio.com app for a variety of mobile devices.

 

 

 

On Sunday, October 23, Coldplay’s Chris Martin and Jonny Buckland will host Acoustic Sunrise, a three hour program featuring acoustic renditions of popular Hot AC tunes, which is carried on a number of CBS RADIO stations nationwide. This is the first time in the history of the program that there will be guest hosts. Throughout the show, Martin and Buckland will play some of their favorite Coldplay tracks, as well as songs from their favorite bands. (Check local listings)

 

 

 

On Monday, October 24 – the same day as the album’s worldwide release, CBS RADIO will go international and host Coldplay Firstplay: Live From London, a live radio special on the band’s home turf, hosted by KROQ’s Stryker. Fans will be able to connect with the band and ask them questions via Twitter, which they will answer live on-air. (Check local listings)

 

 

 

Kevin Weatherly, Senior Vice President of Programming, CBS RADIO remarked, “CBS RADIO is in a unique position to offer fans and listeners an in-depth experience with some of the biggest bands releasing music today.

Thanks for this! Was going to create a thread but you beat me to it :D

LOVE this, am especially excited to hear the Acoustic Sunrise :D Happy that we are getting it here in Vegas!

WOW they are really promoting the hell out of this album. I love it.

Just yesterday, I heard a commercial on KIIS about the release on Oct. 24.

I don't want nothing less than 1 million copies sold in the first week.

Thanks for this! Was going to create a thread but you beat me to it :D

 

Awesome! Im usually like two minutes late on posting important links.

Wow, that's a lot of publicity! :stunned:

...Although I don't know if I'm getting any CBS channels, since I live an hour away from Philadelphia in the suburbs. :cry:

 

On another note, keeping all of Coldplay's public appearances (Colbert Report, Red Bull concert, etc.) straight is getting really difficult! If nobody's going to put it on the calendar, can someone compile all the known and rumoured dates? Thanks in advance to anyone who decides to do that. ;)

PS: I haven't checked, but I think some of those stations have the option of listening live online.

Heh, thanks. :)

Although it doesn't look like they're broadcasting in Philly for any of the CBS stations in Philly. :bigcry:

This sounds really cool!

This is cool! I like the sound of the one where they are guest hosting and playing some of their favorite songs and some of their favorite band's songs. Does anybody know what CBS radio station to tune in to listen in Dallas? It's either 100.3 Jack FM, 103.7 Lite FM, or 98.7 KLUV. The other three CBS radio stations for the metroplex are sports, talk radio, and spanish music.

I swear, it's like the entire industry is depending on them for their Christmas bonuses.

^I actually think they probably kind of are :worried:

OMG! 3 hrs of Chris and Jonny on Acoustic Sunrise? I just can't wait! I'm definitely recording it.

What time is the acoustic sunrise?

What time is the acoustic sunrise?

 

Usually 7-11a but you have to check your own station to see when Coldplay will be on.

Jonny and Chris presenting a radio show?!!! About time! Coldplay are doing what U2 joked they were going to do in the early 90s with ZooTV - take over the media!

Yeah, they're definitely taking over, it's kind of ridiculous, but at least it's all so far in venues that musicians do all the time. I don't think musicians do ALL of them like Coldplay's doing, but at least they're not going on completely random shows that have nothing to do with music yet or anything.

 

But I do feel like there's a balance between too much promo and too little, and I hope they don't tip too far over onto the "too much" side for their sakes. I feel like they're already so well known that they don't need to push it in everyones' faces so much that they've got a new album coming out. Oh, Dave Holmes.

I checked my station and it didn't say anything. That's why I asked.

For sure. No Chris Martin appearing randomely on a cheap, cheesy British sitcom promoting his band's album just yet. :rolleyes:

ONE WORD:

 

MASSIVE

Jonny and Chris presenting a radio show?!!! About time! Coldplay are doing what U2 joked they were going to do in the early 90s with ZooTV - take over the media!

 

Chris has taken over our local alternative rock radio station 99X here in Atlanta as well as the Steve Lamacq BBC show. He and Simon Pegg also took over the Zane Lowe program on BBC.

Chris, Jonny, & Guy hosted some XFM radio program as well for 4 weekends in a row.

Have you ever heard Chris and Jonny on Loveline with Dr. Drew when promoting ROBTTH? The whole thing was sad and hilarious at the same time.

I checked my station and it didn't say anything. That's why I asked.

 

You might have to listen to the program at one of the links provided in the 1st post.

LOVE this, am especially excited to hear the Acoustic Sunrise :D Happy that we are getting it here in Vegas!
