You'd think Coldplay would spend the summer in Europe like most bands, enjoying stops along the French Riviera, because they have the dough 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 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. 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.

y'know - i just heard the new coldplay "single" yesterday for the first time, and it's probably all old news by now, what with the speed of the internet and all - but i have to say, i wasn't really enjoying it. i'm not a huge coldplay fan, but i do like to listen once in awhile - and this new one - violet hill - just rubbed me totally the wrong way. aside from making me think of bands like Foreigner at times, it also seemed to say "hi, we're coldplay... listen to how we can totally rock out, but look we're still sensitive, and now we can end the song."

I'm a fan. There. I've said it. Now, I'm going to listen to "Speed of Sound" again.
Isn't it better that the band travel by air than all their fans having to fly?
wow ... a comaprison for Coldplay to Motorhead. I believe this is a first for MOG !
