Having played an intimated gig in a London rehearsal room for just 40 fans last Friday, Coldplay have revealed they will be playing another intimate gig in a London venue in Jun. The time and location of the gig is a closely guarded secret, though the band have confirmed the set will be recorded for Zane Lowe's
Radio 1 show.
It will be the band's first UK gig for ages. On the ideal audience member for that gig, Coldplay's Chris Martin says: "We want some couple on their first date. I want them to have the best time and go home and have their first snog and for it to be the beginning of their romance because the Coldplay gig was so good. We don't want to let those people down.
The band played several new tracks at that mini-gig last week, all from the new album. According to the NME, featured tracks included:
'Square One', 'White Shadows' and 'What If'. Exciting stuff.
