After originally scheduling and then cancelling dates in Western Canada last year, and leaving Calgary, Edmonton and Winnipeg out of the loop, Coldplay is returning to North America for a 14-date tour in July and August.
And again Western Canada is not in the cards, report the Edmonton Sun. The tour, in support of the band's Viva La Vida album, begins on July 10 in Portland, Oregon with stops in California, Texas and the Midwest before hitting Eastern Canada in July. The tour concludes Aug. 9 in Tampa. In an interview with Sun Media last July, Coldplay guitarist Jonny Buckland said the Western Canada dates would mostly likely be slotted for early 2009 and were the only dates being planned. But the group instead is mounting a Japanese tour starting next week in Tokyo. "I've got quite a lot of family in Calgary and they would be very disappointed if we didn't play there," he said.
