Coldplay are the first act confirmed for Capital FM's Summertime Ball 2012 at Wembley Stadium, according to the radio station this morning. This event currently clashes with Coldplay's first date at the Etihad stadium in Manchester as part of the Mylo Xylotour, however it is expected that Coldplay will open the Summertime Ball during the day and then travel to Manchester for the evening concert. More on this new event is at the Coldplay Live forum now (which we expect Coldplay.com to confirm soon). [thanks Tash]
Capital FM continue: "The Summertime Ball 2012 line-up will also feature a host of some of the biggest names in music – with the rest of the acts ready to be announced later today. Meanwhile, the band debuted a clip of their music video for 'Princess Of China', which features Bajan star Rihanna, on their current North American outing. Tickets for the fourth edition of the event go on general sale on Monday (23rd April 2012) at 8am. If you're a Capitalfm.com VIP or a Vodafone customer, you can get access to an exclusive tickets pre-sale now. Keep your eye on the ball by visiting our special Summertime Ball area for all the latest information on this year's hit music event. You can also follow all the action by liking Capital FM on Facebook and Twitter using the official hashtag #CapitalSTB.
