Coldplay will visit New Zealand following their eleven arena shows in Australia next March, promoter Chugg Entertainment confirmed today. The band will play at Auckland’s Vector Arena on Wednesday 18 March 2009 with tickets going on sale to on Monday 22 December from www.ticketmaster.co.nz. The show will be part of their Viva La Vida world tour, in support of their new album Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends.
New Zealand missed out on Coldplay's last world tour, rumoured to be because Auckland lacked a decent venue for them to perform in. They have performed there previously at the 2001 Big Day Out. Their last New Zealand performance was at the Auckland Showgrounds in 2003. Promoter Michael Chugg said: "Finally, fans can take a well deserved deep breath. The wait is over New Zealand. We will be bringing Coldplay’s Viva La Vida tour to Vector Arena next March and it’s going to be huge."
Tickets to the show go on sale from Ticketmaster on Monday at 9am. However a pre-sale will be offered to Visa card holders from 9am local time on Friday 19 December and run through until 5pm on Saturday 20 December, unless tickets sell out earlier.
