Coldplay returns with a new album and a new tour in 2012. Actually, to characterize the Mylo Xyloto Tour as a the long awaited return is to ignore just how busy this group has been quite busy since Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends released in 2008. The band has been touring almost nonstop since then. They ended that multiplatinum tour in 2010, quickly recorded an album in 2011, and took off later that year to lay a little groundwork in support of the new tour.

The official tour begins in 2012 on April 17th at the Rexall Place in the Canadian city of Edmonton. So far only 19 more North American concert dates have been announced in addition to this show. Coldplay will likely announce more, as the spring and summer tour as it stands right now allows for many more performances. There will be a quick trip to Europe at the beginning of June in there as well.
Coldplay has come quite a long way since Chris Martin and Jonny Buckland met during orientation week at the University College London back in 1996. They began as Pectoralz, added Guy Berryman, and became Starfish. Starfish played some local gigs and added Will Champion. During this time they also met Phil Harvey, who would become the band’s manager. Coldplay concerts would soon become well versed touring the UK. They actually had trouble recording Parachute, the group’s platinum debut album, because of the busy touring schedule. The 2000 album proved successful enough that Coldplay toured the world.
Chris Martin, Jonny Buckland, Guy Berryman, and Will Champion’s next project became A Rush of Blood to the Head. A second number one album, another multiplatinum effort, and another world tour followed. Audiences had already learned to love the lyrics to “Yellow”, “The Scientist”, and “Clocks”. That tour lasted until 2004. A year later, Coldplay dropped X&Y, the third album. Again the band had a number one album, millions in sales, and a couple hit singles, “Speed of Sound” and “Fix You”.
To this point, Coldplay had sold millions of concert tickets and albums. However, they had failed to release a sing that number one in the UK and the U.S. That all changed in 2008. “Viva la Vida” hit number one and went platinum in Australia and the United States. Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends reached number one and once again went multiplatinum. Success had become an expectation for the group. The TicketSpecialists have the Coldplay tickets to see this group on tour. They have reached number one with Mylo Xyloto and enjoy a multiplatinum effort. Get great seats to enjoy the 2012 tour.
Coldplay is back for the 2012 tour, entitled the Mylo Xyloto Tour. The album is the group’s fifth has been out since October 2011 and has since managed to reach number one across the world. It has also gone platinum in these few months, and, of course, thus is why so many desire these Coldplay tickets. They want to see this group perform “Paradise” in concert along with the past hits.
