Coldplay have denied rumours that they are to play a massive show at Knebworth next year, akin to those Oasis and Robbie Williams shows that proved so successful. Chris Martin has instead hinted that the band will instead play Wembley Stadium next July.
Writing on the band's official website, Chris Martin said: "We tried to get Knebworth but it just wasn't possible. So we're having to think of something else. In fact, I think we have thought of something else. Hopefully we'll be able to announce it soon. And hopefully it's not the same day that Oasis have booked it [Oasis have already announced that they will play three dates at Wembley Stadium in July]. It would be a great double bill. And we wouldn't mind opening. I would also, funnily enough, open for Take That. We were in the dressing room yesterday and, for whatever reason, we started singing 'Back For Good'. We sang the whole thing, word for word, with all the right chords on our piano, without having to learn it or anything. It was great. So I'd like to use this forum, the Coldplay website, to announce that if Take That want us to open for them, we'll do it. The only problem is that we'll have to get down the gym for a bit".
