You'd think Coldplay would spend the summer in Europe like most bands, enjoying stops along the French Riviera, because they "have the dough":http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol/arts_and_entertainment/music/article3810583.ece to yacht it up in Cannes. But, instead the foursome is spending the summer touring the muggy U.S. The band will kick off their tour in Philadelphia on June 29th. And while most bands try this new trend of greening up their tour, Coldplay don't seem to be "riding the lowering carbon footprint wave":http://www.waste.uk.com/ as they are stopping almost in every major U.S. city.
Some ticket go on sale May 16th and 17th, with the rest for sale on June 14th. Viva La Vida hits stores on a few days later on June 16th. I went to see how I could score tickets to the free Madison Square Garden show on June 23d "via the band's Web site.":http://www.coldplay.com/msg/index.html It says something about having to unlock band videos in order to score the tickets. However, when I tried to sign up, my computer didn't do much. Why does it have to be so complicated? People should just show up at the venue that day and make a charge for seats.Coldplay tour dates:June 23: New York City, NY; Madison Square GardenJune 29: Philadelphia, PA; Wachovia CenterJuly 2: Washington, DC; Verizon CenterJuly 3: Hartford, CT (XL Center)July 5: Detroit, MI (The Palace of Auburn Hills)July 6: Cleveland, OH (Quicken Loans Arena)July 8: St. Paul, MN (Xcel Energy Center)July 9: Kansas City, MO (Sprint Center)July 10: Oklahoma City, OK (Ford Center)July 12: Phoenix, AZ (Jobbing.com Arena)July 19: Las Vegas, NV (MGM Grand Garden Arena)July 21: Sacramento, CA (ARCO Arena)July 24: San Jose, CA (HP Pavilion)July 27: Pemberton, BC (Pemberton Festival)July 29: Edmonton, AB (Rexall Place)July 30: Calgary, AB (Pengrowth Saddledome)August 1: Winnipeg, MB (MTS Centre)August 3: Omaha, NE (Qwest Center)August 4: Chicago, IL (United Center)October 20: Montreal, QC (Bell Centre)October 21: Ottawa, ON, (Scotiabank Place)October 26: East Rutherford, NJ (Izod Center)October 29: Toronto, ON (Air Canada Centre)October 30: Toronto, ON (Air Canada Centre)November 3: Boston, MA (TD Banknorth Garden)November 11: Atlanta, GA (Philips Arena)November 18: Houston, TX (Toyota Center)November 19: Dallas, TX (American Airlines Center)November 21: Denver, CO (Pepsi Center Arena)November 22: Salt Lake City, UT (Energy Solutions Arena)
