Coldplay have announced plans to play ten concerts in the UK at the end of the year.
The Violet Hill stars will take to the road in December to perform arena shows in Birmingham, Glasgow, Sheffield, Liverpool and Manchester, as well as joining the ranks of bands to have played London's O2 Arena.
The four-piece are to play free shows for competition winners in Brixton, south London, as well as New York and Barcelona, next month to celebrate the release of their fourth album Viva La Vida or Death And All His Friends.
Violet Hill, the lead single from the album, was made available for free download on the band's website for one week, with more than two million fans downloading the piano-driven track.
Had the downloads been represented in physical sales, the single would have outsold that week's top 40 singles combined.
Viva La Vida or Death And All His Friends is released on June 12th and tickets for the tour dates go on sale at 09:30 BST on Friday May 30th on gigsandtours.com (English dates) and ticketmaster.com (Glasgow shows)
