COLDPLAY KICKS OFF ’MTV WORLD STAGE’ WITH LIVE PERFORMANCE FROM TOKYO COLDPLAY KICKS OFF ’MTV WORLD STAGE’ WITH LIVE PERFORMANCE FROM TOKYO Premieres Friday 27 February 2009 METRO STATION and WHITE LIES GET THE FIRST ’MTV PUSH’ NEW YORK and LONDON.- MTV Networks International (MTVNI), owned by Viacom Inc. (NYSE: VIA, VIA.B), today announced the launch of MTV World Stage and MTV Push, two new music initiatives aimed at demonstrating MTV’s unique international scale and connecting fans to the greatest and latest acts on the world music scene. MTV World Stage is a free pass to the most exclusive gigs and unique concert locations from around the world. Coldplay live in Tokyo from the Saitama Super Arena will be the first performance captured for MTV World Stage and will air 27 February on 62 MTV channels around the world. The series will showcase different musical performances every Friday night across the international network. In addition, starting in March 2009, MTV Push will deliver international music fans a massive "push" behind breakthrough and emerging acts, with unique bespoke multi-platform content using MTV’s on-air and digital assets, which number more than 140 windows. Metro Station and White Lies will be the first featured artists. "The scale of MTV’s international network is unmatched and makes us uniquely positioned to bring our audience some of their favorite artists and MTV World Stage and MTV Push are no exception" noted Bruce Gillmer, Senior Vice President of Talent & Music for MTVNI. "As a premiere producer of live concert events, only MTV can take full advantage of the networks’ vast scale and creative resources to deliver audiences fresh musical content across any platform they are viewing" MTV World Stage proves that all-the-world IS a stage. The series will be taped in high definition and will feature dozens of multi-genre talent with global relevance. Whether in Athens, Rome, London, Buenos Aires, Beijing or Tokyo, every Friday night is "live music night" on MTV as fans in 162 countries are transported to front row seats somewhere in the world to experience their favorite recording artists. Upcoming MTV World Stage concerts will feature a "girls’ night in" with a double bill from the Pussycat Dolls and Katy Perry (6th March), Slipknot (13th March), Oasis (20th March), Franz Ferdinand (27th March), Duffy (29th May) and Kaiser Chiefs (5th June). MTV is widely recognized as one of the first places young people turn to for new music. From Shakira to Tokio Hotel and Duffy, MTV’s international channels have fostered some of today’s best known and hottest acts. Beginning in March, MTV Push follows in this long tradition, super-charged by the networks’ vast multi-platform capacity. MTV Push is a promotional vehicle dedicated to bringing fans the latest talent to break-though and break-out utilizing straight video play and specially produced content for on-air, web and mobile. "Music remains one of the fundamental pillars of our brand and our business" commented Antonio Campo Dall’Orto, Executive Vice President of Music Brands for MTVNI. "MTV World Stage and MTV Push are two of many exciting new initiatives from MTVNI designed to leverage our unique knowledge and strength across the global network. These projects are part of a process to broaden our vision and further enhance the brand experience" Formed in London in 1998, Coldplay (www.coldplay.com) has sold more than 30 million records worldwide and is one of the most famous rock bands around. Their debut album, Parachutes (with hit single, Yellow) in 2000 went multi-platinum in several countries and has since been followed by award winning albums, A Rush of Blood to the Head in 2002 and X&Y in 2005. The band’s fourth studio album, Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends was produced by Brian Eno. The first two bands that are being featured on MTV Push are Metro Station (www.metrostationmusic.com) and White Lies (www.whitelies.com) Metro Station’s Mason Musso, Trace Cyrus, Blake Healy and Anthony Improgo began performing together in Los Angeles in 2006. The band’s self-titled debut album was released in September, 2007 (Columbia/Red Ink Records) and their first pop single, "Shake It" is already a multi-platinum success in the U.S. Metro Station is currently on tour in Europe. White Lies are a rock band from West London, whose elegant cinematic soundscapes have brought them widespread acclaim in the UK and beyond, topping numerous ones to watch polls across the globe. Their first album To Lose My Life was released in January 2009, debuting at No 1 on the UK Album Chart. They have released three singles, "Unfinished Business", "Death" and "To Lose My Life", and they continue to tour in Europe, the US and Japan throughout the first half of 2009.

Roadie #42 - Blog #70 February 19, 2009 9:26 pm #42 reports back from a magical night in London Well bugger me - we made it! Obviously, now it's done it seems like it was nothing, but going into it, it felt like there was a lot of potential for trainwreck. We've done a complete lap of the planet in just over a week, a bunch of awards show madness, a quick Japanese tour and topped it all off with a mad dash across town into a charity show, getting a whole gig's worth of gear set up in a matter of hours for an absolute belter of a night. The Brits rehearsals pass in a blur. There's an eight hour gap between dress rehearsal and the show, so there's a move to bail for the hotel. I decide to wait for the second van and kill some time in the dressing room. On the drinks table is a brochure for a bunch of free spa treatments available in the backstage area. Now obviously, these are intended for pop superstars and not grimy roadies, but hell, the band left ages ago. I'm tempted by the spray tan purely for the comedy value, but eventually chicken out, settling instead for a neck and shoulders massage to chase away the long hauls. After thirty minutes of having my spine re-arranged, I feel so relaxed I can barely stay awake long enough to get back to the hotel. I book an alarm call so I'm ready for the 6pm van back to the gig. Needless to say, I pick up and put down the phone and head back off into the land of nod. By sheer fluke I'm awakened by traffic noise and dive out the door into a cab. The Brits performance goes pretty well, I think - not that I'd know, as from my spot I can just about see the back of Guy's bass rig and nothing else. The bass rig did very well though, I thought... Time then to heave all the gear over to Shepherd's Bush. Out the back of Earls Court, U2's crew have kindly let us jump the queue and bring our truck in first. They even give us a hand loading it up - what wonderful gents. So then, the Shepherd's Bush Empire show for War Child. I haven't done a gig inside Shepherd's Bush Empire for years. Back when I was last in here, it was the biggest gig I'd ever done. Today though, it looks very small indeed. It's essentially a theatre. What could be more sensible then, than trying to cram two arena bands onto the tiny stage? The Killers are first up and in perfect Vegas style, they have a wonderfully palm-tree laden stage set. I've never seen these guys live before and they are blindingly good. Indeed, when they steam into Somebody Told Me, the response from the crowd is so huge that it feels worryingly like our fellas' show will just be an after-thought. As ever in situations like this, the setlist changes several times in the approach to showtime. Whilst the Killers are on, the tiny corridor beside the stage becomes our crew office as we pore over the current incarnation of the plan and work out just how we're going to make it work. Will passes through on his way for a watch of the Killers. He leans in to ask Bash a question (entirely unrelated to the gig) and in the belief that he's come with information on just what the hell might happen later, he's immediately surrounded by the entire crew, who crowd him like cattle round a farmer with a feed-bag. He's as non-plussed as the rest of us. We do know that the setlist we have in front of us has had Yellow and I'm A Believer dropped from it though. The changeover actually goes very smoothly. Credit undoubtedly to The Killers' wonderful crew and the calm forethought of Kurt our stage manager. Pretty soon, the fellas are on and it's clear that it's going to be a special night. Pretty soon too, the setlist is all but a memory. Chris shouts across the stage that they're going to do Yellow after all. To me, it makes sense. Just as the last time I worked on a gig here it was the biggest thing I'd done, so too did Coldplay play here in 2000 and I bet it felt huge to them back then. Almost a decade later here they are absolutely blowing the roof off the place with the same song. The roof went on to go some distance further as the evening (or rather the morning, it being around 1am by this point) progressed. The encore began with a joyous and celebratory romp through Viva La Vida. The sound of a crowd roaring this back at the stage never fails to impress. There's something though, about the fact that in a venue this size you can actually see the whites of the eyes of the person furthest away from the stage that means that it feels like the biggest New Year's Eve singalong ever. Not bad for February, I guess. Chris has promised the best encore of all time and his first weapon to back up those claims is Gary Barlow from Take That. The fellas have been dropping a short version of this into the live set for a while now, so it was pretty inevitable that they'd give this one a shot. The crowd greet Gary with a riotus reception and the party is into full swing. Jon Hopkins is at the piano and it's one big 1am drunken singalong. The final blowout comes in the shape of the Killers' track All These Things That I've Done. Suddenly the stage is quite simply awash with folks. The Killers have come up and have plugged into Coldplay's gear, taken over the drumstool and the piano. Bono, from young Dublin hopefuls The U2s has nonchalantly walked on to deafening applause. Chris has dragged Gary Barlow back onstage. It's noisy, it's chaotic - in places, quite frankly it's a complete fucking mess, but this is exactly as it should be and it's completely excellent. I remember weeks ago in the Bakery, Chris talking about doing this gig and mentioning the idea of inviting guests on for a big finale. "It'd be great to turn it into just one big ol' Brits party" he said. Well, they've not just had a party, they've had something to celebrate. It was an absolutely belting gig. Roadie #42
