In a Radio 1 exclusive tonight Chris Martin announced that Coldplay are looking to book at least two nights at the famous Knebworth venue. The band’s management have been making enquiries and need permission to play the legendary castle, which has been host to the likes of Robbie Williams and Oasis.
Knebworth had been a major venue for open air rock and pop concerts since 1974. In 2003, Robbie Williams performed at Knebworth over a three day period, drawing crowds of over 375,000, and a further 3.5 million who watched live on television and online. This was reputedly the biggest UK pop concert ever and caused a huge traffic jam on the A1(M) as an estimated 130,000 cars tried to reach the venue.
More news on this to follow, in the meantime you can join the Knebworth discussion here onwards. If you missed tonight's exclusive airing of Coldplay's Lost+ featuring Jay-Z you can get it (as well as the full Chris Martin interview) here if you are logged in to Coldplaying [thanks magodeoz & Lore]
