Coldplay will head to Australia in November to play outdoor arena concerts according to Adelaide Now who report that they have spoken to Chris Martin about the tour and the Xylobands which they will also be using on the tour. The dates will be announced next month according to the article. Read on for their report...
Adelaide Now continue: Fans will be part of the action when Coldplay tour Australia's outdoor arenas in November. If you've seen the Charlie Brown video, you will have spotted the LED wristbands worn by the audience. Frontman Chris Martin told me he couldn't wait to see their Australian fans waving the bands, which have lights controlled by the band. "It's a little self-indulgent on our part but we love the way it looks when thousands of people all have lights on them," he said. "It's such an amazing thing to be a part of."
Martin said it was about time the band had a hit single here with Paradise now certified five times platinum for sales of almost 400,000 downloads. He said he has often joked that he is jealous his wife Gwyneth Paltrow has had a No.1 hit single here - with Cruisin' in 2000 - while the band hadn't cracked it. Paradise was flogged during summer as the soundtrack to promote Seven's ratings hit Revenge. "It's great, anything that can keep us coming back to Australia, that lets us go on tour there is great," he said. The Mylo Xyloto tour details are expected to be announced next month. [Article ends]
In addition to this article, Sunrise are promising a Coldplay announcement on Monday 5th on their morning show. It may be related to a forthcoming Australian tour or simply the rearranged acoustic show that was cancelled last month. Here is their tweet sent this weekend:
