Tour news

As the Christmas season approaches, we all know the feeling of someone not giving due diligence to the gift that we spent so much on. But Coldplay hope you enjoyed the Xylobands they gave you during the 'Mylo Xyloto' tour - because they spent over £4million on them.   According to The Mirror this weekend, figures filed on Companies House show that Coldplay reportedly spent approximately £4.22million on Xylobands given out to fans during the Mylo Xyloto world tour.   The wristbands, which cha

Coldplay have been forced to cancel the previously postponed Latin America tour expected in 2013. A short note from the band on the official webpage on 31st January read: "Dear friends in Latin America, We're sad to say that, due to circumstances beyond our control, we're unable to reschedule the postponed Mylo Xyloto tour dates in 2013.

Chris Martin took the unusual step of telling the world from the Brisbane stage that Coldplay would take three years off from touring - if the media circus is to be believed over the last 24 hours. We think differently, however - it'll be three years before they next return to Australia for the next album era - which is about the right timescale considering it was 2009 when Coldplay last took their Viva La Vida tour down under (who could forget that Sydney Sound Relief dash?)   Its so much of a
