Coldplay will thank every attendee of the band's upcoming "Viva La Vida" summer tour with an exclusive live CD free of charge.
The British alt-rockers, who hit the US tour trail beginning May 15 in West Palm Beach, FL, will offer a free copy of "LeftRightLeftRightLeft" to fans attending the group's shows through the end of 2009. The band's current slate of US dates runs through an Aug. 9 performance in Tampa. Details are below.
"Playing live is what we love," the quartet released in a prepared statement. "This album is a thank you to our fans--the people who give us a reason to do it and people who make it happen."
The live tracks will also be available for free download on the band's website beginning May 15, according to a press release.
Pete Yorn, Snow Patrol, Amadou & Mariam, Elbow, Howling Bells and Kitty Daisy & Lewis will take turns providing opening support for the Grammy Award-winning group's North American run.
Coldplay's most recent album, last summer's "Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends," scaled the charts internationally, peaking at No. 1 in 36 countries. The group's fourth studio album also became the best-selling digital album in SoundScan history, as well as the biggest-selling album of 2008.
