Adelaide Miss Out On Coldplay Tour Until Venue Receives 'Facelift'

Coldplay will return to Australia in February but Adelaide will miss out on the tour because of concerns with the city's leading venue.

Promoters are loathe putting shows into Adelaide until the cities major venue, the Adelaide Entertainment Centre, is given its overdue facelift. $50 million was budgeted for a facelift for the venue but the South Australian government has been non-committal in moving forward with the plans. Coldplay last toured Australia in June 2006 when they performed 10 sold-out shows around the country. The four-city tour will include multiple shows for Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, plus a show in Perth. Tickets go on sale on December 4.
