Coldplay has expanded its upcoming spring/summer tour through North America, adding two dozen new shows to its outing, now set to run through early August.
The new spring/summer leg gets underway May 15 in West Palm Beach, FL, and heads north, sticking closely to the East Coast for the first half of the outing. Following a handful of European dates in early July, the band returns to the US beginning July 10 in Ridgefield, WA. The new leg brings the total number of cities on the group's forthcoming tour to 39.
On-sale dates for the new shows can be found at Coldplay's official website. Previously announced dates are already on sale.
Last summer's "Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends," Coldplay's fourth studio album, charted at No. 1 in 36 countries, including the US, and became the best-selling digital album in SoundScan history, as well as the biggest-selling album of 2008, according to a press release. The set is Coldplay's fourth-consecutive studio effort to be certified multi-platinum by the RIAA, and is fast approaching 8 million units sold worldwide.
The record's lead single, "Viva La Vida," shot to No. 1 on the modern-rock, adult-contemporary and Billboard Hot 100 charts, and has been followed by Top 10 modern-rock hits "Violet Hill" and "Lost!" Coldplay's new single, "Life In Technicolor ii," is streaming at its MySpace page.
