Chris Martin says Coldplay hope to play Knebworth

Chris Martin has told Radio 1 that Coldplay hope to book Knebworth, and the show featured the first airing of a Jay-Z collaboration.

Chris Martin has told Zane Lowe on Radio 1 that Coldplay are to hoping to play a huge gig at Knebworth, following in the footsteps of that old Robbie Williams character. Martin said: "We're trying to book a place that rhymes with Blebworth. We realised there's a lot of people who don't like us in Britain but, you know, they don't have to come. We're not gonna do three [nights], Robbie did three. We'd be happy with one. Then the next day can be some kind of caravan conference".

The Thursday night radio show also featured the first airing of Coldplay's Jay-Z collaboration, a reworking of 'Viva La Vida' album track 'Lost!', which, as previously reported, is set to appear on the band's forthcoming EP 'Prospekt's March'.
