really, i would so love to meet the band, or just an intimate gig or something.....i mean i dont have to see them, its not my life goal or anything, im not that obsessed, its just something i would be honoured to do or have the experience of. But if i could meet them or see them play, i would travel to anwhere in North America....and i knew it was Grandpa, i only watched that movie at easter, i dont know why i said uncle!

^^^you just asked if the ohio gig was in july, so i said no august

pre-recorded what the hell do you mean, and where you hear this?

if you get the golden ticket Camille, can i be your Grandpa Joe? ;)

Aug 9th in Cincy Ohio

dude it says all around the world so yes! Also 18 month tour, here we come!

^i stand corrected

the modern day Charlie and the Chocolate Factory! My guess is that perhaps the art we see isnt the entire cover, just a portion of it. Its cool that it will work all around the world too, so what is it a word, or ........ wow my brain is exploding i really dont know!

from The Sun "I reckon it is going to be the biggest British release of the year.The blocks of colour form a code which I'm told is part of a clever marketing plan.The campaign starts later this month when flyers will be handed out to fans so they can start to work out the code. The whole cover will be slowly revealed as the launch date of June 6 draws nearer. The solution of the code has been designed to work all around the world. Miles Leonard,boss of the band's record company,Parlophone,reckons X&Y will beat the worldwide sales of about 10 million racked up by the band's previous release AROBTTH. The first single of X&Y,Speed Of Sound,is out on May23. CHRIS MARTIN, and the band are about to start a gruelling 18 months' promotional tour.They will play songs from the album for the first time the day before its release at a special MTV gig in London.The 60 minute concert will be televised across the MTV network alongside a TV special called ALL EYES ON COLDPLAY. Chris says: "It's really cool that fans are flying in to London from all over the world to see us play for MTV.We'll try and make it worth the effort." I have already given you a world exclusive review of X&Y-and believe me it's going to be huge." Victoria Newton-The Sun

ya what a joke, 2004!

i just mentioned seattle......did u get a date though?

what has the world come to........

id watch it albie, just forget about it man :sneaky:

we havent heard any dates officially in a long time, and way back when they said the us dates would be in the coming weeks....i am being bold and saying either tomorrow or friday we get them.......

guys come on this is getting old...........we dont need arguments here all the time....be friends "everybody heres got somebody to lean on....."

yes from the japanese emi site (that claims proof as b-side) says its from 30th of march if my japanese is decent

i know jonny plays piano on sparks, and im not sure about guy but maybe someting in the acoustic songs, he cant really play bass and anything else at the same time?

yesterday in Amsterdam though Camille........also here http://forums.coldplay.com/viewtopic.php?t=21563 someone has claimed their venue in seattle has set a date.. :wink3:

well Camille now you have been all caught up, check the official page q&a for some interesting stuff too! Swallowed In The Sea and the Renamed Solid Ground are infact different

no because with you albie coldplay would lose their modesty and their perfectionist rationale! And their humble ignorance.......they always think they wont have anyone at their shows, you think they are best ever....

As of this moment they are in Amsterdam ;)

well someone has to and the others are a little busy........maybe they need a 5th member........

so anyway, anyone else who was there?

Cincinnati show is on Aug 9th, so it must be based around July-Sept? At least dates are starting to show up.

or about till kingdom come, or the new songs played live, or the single and the b-sides, or the north american tour........we found out so much tonight..not to mention they played a warning sign!
