UPDATE: The shows will also be streamed live at the Huawei Mobile Facebook page, where you can also win tickets - details at the Coldplay Live forum now [thanks _Tash]
Coldplay are expected to announce an Australian tour for late 2012 during a quick visit to Sydney this month, that is according to the Adelaide Now... website earlier today. They are indicating that Coldplay will head to Sydney directly after performing at the Grammys on February 12th, where they will play intimate shows for 2DAY FM and Sunrise during their two-day visit on February 16th and 17th, which is being sponsored by Huawei Mobile.
Coldplay played at Splendour In The Grass six months ago on the eve of finishing their record Mylo Xyloto, which went platinum in Australia after selling 70,000 copies. Coldplay will be hoping the tour gives Paradise [artwork pictured] the push it needs to make it to the top of the charts, which would give Coldplay their first No.1 single in Australia. Chris Martin has joked he is jealous his wife Gwyneth Paltrow beat Coldplay to that feat - with her Huey Lewis duet Cruisin' reaching No.1 here in 2000.
Meanwhile, speaking of chart news, Ed Sheeran has taken the top spot in the Official UK Album Chart at the expense of Coldplay last weekend. The singer's debut album '+' is just ahead of Coldplay's 'Mylo Xyloto', which is up one place to Number Two. Adele, who topped the chart last week, is down two places to Number Three, with Bruno Mars at Number Four and Rizzle Kicks at Number Five, according to the Official Charts Company.
Coldplay dates for Australia 2012 to be announced soon… (according to Music Feeds anyway...) So what is your bet for the Australian tour... November? December? Earlier? Let us know at the Coldplay Live forum now! [thanks _Tash]
