Stones and U2 help industry rebound after terrible 2004   With U2 and the Rolling Stones selling out arenas all across America, the concert business rebounded this past year after a rocky 2004. North American ticket revenue jumped from $2.8 billion in 2004 to $3.1 billion last year, according to the concert-industry trade magazine Pollstar — with the Stones selling $162 million worth of tickets (smashing their own 1994 North American record of $121 million) and U2 selling $139 million. “For band

Six-year-old Ria Malik has got to be Coldplay’s youngest fan — she’s heading all the way to Hong Kong to watch them perform. “She prefers them to Disneyland,” says her dad Subir Malik.   Like the Maliks, more people are heading to destinations abroad to be part of an event — be it the World Cup, an F1 race or a music concert.   “We’re going to Hong Kong only to watch Coldplay perform. It’s just a two-day trip and it’s worth it. Last year I had everything ready for the Live 8 concert in London w

More questions answered by The Oracle...   September 19, 2008 - submitted by Rita, Brazil Q. Was it because I am latin that my camera (which is NOT professional!!!!) was taken before the Barcelona concert while the others over 1000 cameras could take a picture of Coldplay during the show??????? Maybe my camera is very special, right? Great show, by the way. The Oracle replies: I'm sorry to hear that but the reason will be that it's the policy at all gigs that cameras and recording equipment are

The super-producer revealed that he is coming to the UK in April to meet with the band, whom he is known to be a big fan of.   Speaking about his production method of not having a preconceived idea of what the sound will be, Timbaland told the US edition of GQ: "I try to get into their heads, see what they're thinking about. I just try to

Songbird Connie Talbot has claimed her latest triumph by knocking British supergroup Coldplay from the top of the US charts – and she hasn’t even heard of them, reports expressandstar.com.   Fresh from appearances on a series of top talk shows in America, the eight-year-old’s version of Three Little Birds has sent the rock giants tumbling to number seven in the Billboard Hot Singles charts. But the success has clearly not gone to the head of the youngster from Streetly, Walsall.   Speaking to th

Prince freed himself from record labels years ago. Paul McCartney, Radiohead and Nine Inch Nails have followed. Now the Material Girl is kissing her big-name record company goodbye for a cool $120 million.   Could U2 be next? Justin Timberlake? Coldplay? Do superstars even need traditional multiyear album contracts when CD sales are plummeting and fans are swiping tons of music for free online, or tuning in to their favorite bands via YouTube, MySpace and other Internet portals?   “There’s a pre

All right, everybody, you can all exhale because according to Chris Martin it may be a while before we are blessed with the sounds of a new Coldplay album.   We won’t do another album until we think we’ve written the best songs in history, and that could take a while. So we could be waiting, 20 years or 50 years. Who knows? Our next record seems like a long way away.   Oh, please, say it ain’t so, Mr. Paltrow.   Source: http://regulus2.azstarnet.com  

Coldplay drummer Will Champion has surged ahead in The Daily Echo's competition to find Hampshire's Top 100.   Votes have been pouring in after we asked our reader to name the Hampshire citizens they thought had made the biggest impact around the world. Will's leap to the top of the leader board means Dire Strait's frontman Mark Knopfler has sunk to second place.   We will publish all the winners in a special supplement on June 20 to pay tribute to Hampshire's true talent.

Following on from Cobalt's excellent Prospekt entry sweepstakes back in March 2008 onwards, the time has come to continue the new phase - Roadie #42 LP5 blog sweepstakes (bookmark the thread - new polls will start after every blog!) - which will lead all the way up to the release of said (as yet untitled) album. Congratulations to juanma8 who won the previous poll on September 16th! The next poll to guess when the next Roadie blog will be posted, is now open...   Look out for some mega polls com

The Crazy Frog ringtone has leaped to the top of the UK singles chart.   The reworking of Axel F - the theme to Eddie Murphy movie Beverly Hills Cop - is the first mobile ringtone to make it into the chart. HMV spokesman Gennaro Castaldo blamed the Frog's "huge novelty appeal and the massive amount of exposure it is getting."   He added: "Kids obviously find it cute and cool but students and office workers seem to be drawn to its rather kitsch, ironic appeal."   Coldplay's new single 'Speed of S

Coldplay look likely to be beaten to the Number One spot this week by a song originally designed as a ringtone.   According to music retailer HMV, Crazy Frog's 'Axel F' is outselling 'Speed Of Sound' by a 4 to 1 margin in their stores.   Chart expert Gennaro Castaldo said: "Music purists might not be too happy at the prospect of the Crazy Frog outselling Coldplay, but it shouldn't come as that much of a surprise when you consider its huge novelty appeal and the massive amount of exposure its cur

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the.....pond, the frog is back!   Crazy Frog beat Coldplay to the No.1 spot in the UK Singles Chart, but watch out - the Crazy Frog album is released in the UK on July 25th, and a new single, 'Popcorn' is released in the UK on August 15th.   Is there no end to this annoying ringtone nightmare?

Yes its that time again where the members of the site come together (well not really together, but against one another) to create the new banner for the site and messageboard. This time I'm going for a standard 728x90 banner, the same size as the ads you see around the site.   Rules:   1) Must have COLDPLAYING DOT COM in the standard Albertus Coldplay font, and pictures of all four members of the band in which ever format you like. Additional graphics with a Coldplay theme within the banner are

Well now you can. The Sunday Telegraph have an article about their house, with some photos.   The bass player of Coldplay and his wife are rightly proud of what they've created together - and we don't just mean the baby they have on the way.   See the pictures from the X&Y factor report here [thanks cpfan50]
