The inexplicably ubiquitous Coldplay have told NME that they will play smaller venues on their next tour because, Chris Martin says, they're just not a stadium band. On their recent UK tour, the singer said: "In all honesty, these concerts have been too big. We listened to advice that we probably shouldn't have because everything we've done has been designed to be played in, like Earl's Court or whatever. So we've done Crystal Palace and everything and we've got through it because the fans have been incredible. But we're not really a stadium band."
He continued: "I think all of us feel like when we next come to England - when we next come home - we only want to play indoors. Because we don't feel we can really make the most of that space yet. It's all getting very geeky and technological, but we're not Bon Jovi quite yet."
Asked if Coldplay would like to be like Bon Jovi, Martin joked "I would love to have hair of that volume."
