It was back in 2000 that Coldplay made their breakthrough in the UK with the singles Shiver and Yellow, followed swiftly by the release of their album Parachutes which debuted at number one in the UK album chart.
After setting out their stall with the album Parachutes, Coldplay’s cult following became mainstream with the release of their second album A Rush Of Blood To The Head in 2002 and the subsequent singles In My Place, Clocks and The Scientist.
A Rush of Blood earned the band numerous awards including a Grammy Award for the Best Alternative Music Album in 2003 and Record of the Year Grammy Award for the single Clocks in 2004.
The release of the bands third album X&Y continued the meteoric rise in Coldplay’s popularity, with constant comparisons to U2 and Radiohead, and their live shows earning them a place amongst the UK’s top performing alternative indie rock bands.
The latest Coldplay album Viva La Vida released in 2008 saw a shift in musical direction from the band. Recorded under the watchful eye of Brain Eno the album pulls on Hispanic influences with less falsetto than on previous albums and evidence of distorted guitar riffs and bluesy undertones.
In June 2008 Coldplay began their Viva La Vida tour with a free concert at Brixton Academy in London. They are currently appearing at European venues in Switzerland, Barcelona, Paris and Holland and return to the UK on Saturday September 11th with a gig at Lancashire County Cricket Club in Manchester.
The concert will be supported by Jay-Z who featured on the Coldplay single Lost.
The American rapper will join Coldplay again in the shows at Hampden Park and two nights at Wembley Stadium, where the ever popular girl band Girls Aloud will also support. Demand for Coldplay tickets is always high, but the with the added bonus of the featured support are likely to sell fast.
