Coldplay are confirmed as performers at the Global Citizen Festival in New York, this September! The band haven't played live since the BBC and NRJ music awards, in December 2014. Chris Martin has billed himself and his band-mates in for the charity concert as a 'last resort', because of other acts, such as Rihanna pulling out of the concert for various reasons. Here's the official line-up, which was rumoured a day before the announcement:
To summarize:
Coldplay will perform a short set list of songs at the Global Citizen Festival, at Central Park, New York
Festival will take place on Saturday September 26th, with Pearl Jam, Beyonce and Ed Sheeran as main acts.
The British band last performed live in December 2014, at the NRJ music awards in France.
Coldplay stepped in as a 'back up', which is why they are not listed as the main headline act.
