Coldplay have today announced plans to play a one-off university show later this month. The official site has confirmed that they will take part in this year's BBC Radio 1 Student Tour, which kicks off on October 24, and conclude with Coldplay's headline performance on October 27 at the University of East Anglia. However, tickets will have to be bought in person from the university and will reinforce an identity and wristband system to prevent ticket touting. Full discussion on this latest tour date is at the Coldplay Live forum now. Here's the official announcement via Anchorman:
Good morning. It's just been announced that Coldplay will play a special show in Norwich on Thursday, 27 October, as part of BBC Radio 1's Student Tour. The gig will take place at the city's University of East Anglia venue, and will broadcast live on BBC Radio 1 (listen live on your radio in the UK, or online anywhere in the world). Tickets, priced £20, will go on sale at 9am on Saturday, 15 October from the Box Office, Union House, University of East Anglia, Norwich NR4 7NJ. Tickets are available to all members of the general public. They can only be purchased in person and please be aware we expect high demand for these tickets so a queue is expected to form early...
Tickets are limited to two per customer. To avoid these tickets being resold at vastly inflated prices entry for these shows will be via wristband only. On 15 October a ticket voucher will be issued clearly showing your name and address. On the show day 27 October wristbanding will open at midday at the venue. Ticket holders will need to return with their ticket voucher, photo ID matching the name on the ticket voucher and if they have purchased two tickets their guest must be in attendance with them. Each customer will be wristbanded and can then return to the venue in the evening for the concert. Doors open at 6.30 pm and the show starts promptly at 7.00 p.m. so please arrive early. Please note that any wristbands that have been obviously tampered with will be refused entry.
The first stop of the tour, which will be hosted by Zane Lowe, will be Aberdeen on October 24, where Noah and the Whale will headline with support from Ben Howard. Example will play the University of Hertfordshire on October 25, with an opening performance from Flux Pavilion. Kasabian will play new material from their recent chart-topping album Velociraptor! at the University of Leicester on October 26. Fearne Cotton will present her 10am morning show from each university's student bar in the build-up to the evening's performance. Tickets for the shows will be priced at £20 and will go on sale on October 15.
