The 411 On Coldplay's X&Y

Coldplay have decided to dub their third album X&Y, with a scheduled release date of June 7. "We wanted to try new things out, to move our sound along," guitarist Jonny Buckland said on Coldplay.com, "but the focus remains on the songs, and Chris' voice is sounding amazing. Everyone is playing at the top of their game.

Between now and then, the band will bless the colonies with a quick stop at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas on April 29. In celebration of the resort's 10th anniversary, Coldplay will perform at The Joint. The following evening, as previously reported, they will headline the Coachella Festival in Indio, CA.

Look for X&Y's first single, "Speed of Sound," on April 18. Coldplay will embark on their biggest world tour in 2005, commencing with a string of June dates in the U.K. with such supporting acts as Interpol, Doves and Supergrass. A 40-city North American tour will commence in late July and run through September.

Pues eso que ya con solo tres albumes van a contar con teloneros en Uk de la talla de Interpol, Doves y Supergrass, y que oh!!! Casualidad cuando U2 dejan America para venir a Europa, ellos van nada menos que a dar 40 shows en Estados Unidos, madre mia, 40 shows, eso implicara lo que U2 no hacen desde que son Dioses, que es visitar casi todas las ciudades norteamericanas de mas de 500.000 habitantes en su metro area, esto reporta enorme popularidad en aquel pais y numerosos articulos de prensa alla por donde vas pasando. Veremos a Coldplay muy alto con nada que los temas medio acompañen. Estos saben muy bien que es lo que tienen que hacer, vamos lo mismo que U2 en sus comienzos hacia el estrellado masivo.
