Coldplay - Australian Tour 2012
Undeniably the world's biggest band, Coldplay,
announced in March that they will be heading our way this November and
are now happy to announce the details of four very special stadium
shows on the Mylo Xyloto tour in Australia and New Zealand.
This will mark the first time the 7-time Grammy Award winners have
toured Australia since the overwhelming success of their 2009 Viva La
Vida tour and their quick visit to our shores headlining 2011's
Splendour in the Grass.
Since their debut in 2000 with the global smash hit Yellow, off the
equally successful album Parachutes, Coldplay have taken the world by
storm with album sales in excess of 55 million and a slew of
nominations and awards, including picking up their seventh Brit Award
for Best British Group at this year’s ceremony.
With the release of their fifth studio album, Mylo Xyloto, Coldplay
have experienced their greatest success to date in Australia with the
album achieving double platinum sales. The band’s new single, Princess
of China, which features guest vocalist Rihanna was released to
Australian radio last Monday where it was quickly snapped up to be the
Most Added Song to playlists around the country.

"We can't wait to get back to Australia this
November. It's such a special place for us. These venues are pretty
huge, the Aussie crowds are always incredible and we'll be bringing
everything we've got. It's going to be big" said Chris Martin.
Supporting Coldplay in Australia and New Zealand will be The Temper
Trap. The Temper Trap’s sophomore, self-titled album is the follow up
to 2009’s critically acclaimed platinum selling debut Conditions – a
long standing Top 10 ARIA Album, which has now sold over 800,000 copies
worldwide.
Opening the stage at each show will be The Pierces. Originally hailing
from Birmingham, Alabama, talented sister act Allison and Catherine
Pierce will make their debut appearance in Australia this November,
following up their latest studio offering, You & I, which has
already had major success in the UK and has just been released in the
US. ]
Co-produced by Coldplay’s bass player, Guy
Berryman and their producer/engineer Rik Simpson, the album also
features drummer, Will Champion.
