Unfortunately, the Patriots won’t be going to see Coldplay in Super Bowl 50 next month. So, in what doesn’t really seem like a fair trade, Coldplay are coming to New England to play the home of the Patriots.
The British pop-rock band this morning announced a string of United States stadium shows, and it’s a seven-date romp that comes to Gillette Stadium in Foxboro on July 30. Tickets go on sale February 5, at 10 a.m. via livenation.com.
Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, it should be noted, is no stranger to the Gillette Stadium stage—he joined Ed Sheeran on the pitch back in September.
Coldplay’s stadium series news comes less than two weeks before the band performs live at the Super Bowl 50 Halftime Show in Santa Clara, California. This stateside romp is part of the band’s first world tour since the 2011/12 Mylo Xyloto Tour, which sold more than three million tickets across five continents, and hypes their seventh and latest album, A Head Full Of Dreams, which dropped in December,
The album has already sold more than three million copies since its release last month, and has cemented Coldplay as the most-streamed artist on Spotify. But Martin says the album “was written as a record to be performed live”, so the experience down in Foxboro should enhance the group’s new sound, which is more upbeat and glossy than previous efforts. Marin adds, with the same enthusiasm: “We are beyond excited to play these shows across the U.S.”
Cool. Us too. We just wish you were partying with Patriots on February 7.
Check out all the stadium shows—and hear a new remix of “Adventure Of A Lifetime,” the first single from A Head Full Of Dreams—below.
