PSA Coldplay have announced The Atmospheres, an immersive journey through the Spheres to celebrate the launch of the new album, to be held in several cities on the 15th and 16th. You’re not supposed to be able to book a slot until tomorrow (the 8th); but strangely, I just succeeded and have a confirmed slot at 2pm on the Friday in London! Not sure whether or not they opened the booking early by accident, but sharing in case anyone here wants to jump on it at https://www.coldplayspheres.com.

Having seen the video, I now suspect there may be more to the BRITS performance than the leaked video and pictures would have us believe… Could a thousand holographic dancing aliens be about to descend on the O2?

To be clear, this clip features Chris singing Higher Power, so be sure to avoid it if, like me, you're waiting for the full song to drop before listening... I heard a full second before I realised what was going on and quickly closed it down!

I believe Apple rounds up the track durations here, which would still be consistent with Higher Power being 3:31 in length. Would be great if we can hear it on Thursday though...
