Coldplay has announced the dates for its upcoming Viva la Vida North American tour, which will kick off in June after two high profile free concerts in London and New York.
The band’s latest, Viva la Vida Or Death and All His Friends, will be released June 17 on Capitol. Viva’s first single, “Violet Hill,” has already been downloaded by more than two million people in a single week after the band made it available for free.
Before the band kicks off its summer tour, Martin and Co. will be playing two free shows: the first at London’s Brixton Academy on June 16, and the second at New York’s Madison Square Garden on June 23. Information on how to win tickets to these shows is available on the band’s site in a contest that ends June 1.
Coldplay will also be popping up on your television set with performances on NBC’s Today June 27 (for all of you bright-eyed and bushy-tailed early risers) and Comedy Central’s The Daily Show with Jon Stewart June 26 (for the rest of us.)
The Viva la Vida tour will kick off June 29 in Philadelphia. Ticket and additional tour information is available at LiveNation.com.
