Last night, Coldplay visited the set of the esteemed Stephen Colbert's The Colbert Report to chat and perform. With the release of Mylo Xyloto inching closer, Chris Martin sat down with Colbert to talk about all things Coldplay, including where the title Mylo Xyloto came from. Following the interview, Martin joined his cohorts to perform their latest single " Paradise ," although this time around he was devoid of an elephant costume. You can watch the interview in the player above, and, in cased you missed it, you can check out the [...]
It's no secret that Coldplay have been giving their new Mylo Xyloto tracks plenty of live outings over the summer's festival circuit. There aren't many bands that could treat headlining shows at Glastonbury and Rock in Rio as warm-up gigs in preparation of a new new release and it gives you the feeling that the Coldplay camp currently feel very confident with what they have tucked up their sleeve. Paradise , the second single from their soon to be released fifth album gets the treatment on this, a live recording from Rock in Rio just a [...]
Maroon 5, Coldplay Rio De Jeneiro, Brazil's annual music festival, Rock In Rio, is just about to come to a close but not before they've received hot performances from Maroon 5 and Coldplay . The bands played the penultimate night of Rock In Rio 2011 and rocked the stage with their sets that would total over two hours of live music combined. Adam Levine and the men from Maroon 5 were up first. They started the concert out with their smash single, Moves Like Jagger , and would [...]
Coldplay added yet another festival feather to their cap in the lead-up to new album Mylo Xyloto — Atlanta's Music Midtown fest, which the UK rockers performed at on Friday. And what better place than R.E.M.'s home state of Georgia for Chris Martin to pay tribute to the Athens band, who announced their break-up last Wednesday ? Head below to watch Coldplay offer up a heartfelt cover of R.E.M.'s Automatic For The People classic "Everybody Hurts." "This week there was some sad [...]
Coldplay The Ed Sullivan Theater in New York was transported to "Paradise" last night as Coldplay appeared on the Late Show with David Letterman to perform their new single. With the stage drenched in ambient blue light, much like the single's dreamy cover , and laser lights beaming above them, the Brit band rocked through the enchanting song. “In the night, the stormy night, away she flies and dreams of para-para-paradise," Coldplay frontman Chris Martin sang while pounding away on a piano covered in scribbles, that, again, [...]
You may be aware that Coldplay have a new record coming out soon. If not, where have you been? We've written about it quite a lot. In preparation for Mylo Xyloto 's October release, Chris Martin and co. have released a live EP of their recent iTunes Festival performance, during which they aired a number of new tracks. We've been a fan of Hurts Like Heaven since they debuted it at Rock Am Ring back in June. It heads in a deliberately more poppy direction and is a lot of fun, a word not oft associated with the [...]
Kanye West may have ripped up the stage at Austin City Limits on Friday night, but he wasn't the only one to dazzle overheated music lovers at the annual Texas fest. Over a hundred artists performed at the three-day event, including Coldplay, Foster The People and Cee Lo Green, who was joined on stage by Nakia, the Texan Green mentored throughout the first season of The Voice . Head below to see select ACL performances from the weekend. Coldplay — "Paradise" [...]
Last week Coldplay's Mylo Xyloto track "Up In Flames" was described on the band's site as "immense" and "hypnotic in its simplicity, but devastatingly, achingly gorgeous." Last night the UK band debuted the song live for a taping of the long-running series Austin City Limits , ahead of today's kickoff of the annual Texas festival of the same name. MTV News reports that Coldplay taped a special 90-minute editon of Austin City Limits , though the episode apparently [...]

The Amy Winehouse tributes continue . This past weekend at the Splendour In The Grass fest in Australia, Coldplay showed their respect to the late singer by performing a brief cover of her hit single "Rehab" before transitioning into their song "Fix You". And though we can appreciate the sentiment behind it, it's probably the most mellow, depressing cover of the song yet. Listen below. The British band will be headlining Lollapolooza this Friday night, but you don't need a ticket to [...]
Fresh off the oven, here is Robyn's cover of Coldplay's "Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall", which just aired on Radio 12s Live Lounge with Fearne Cotton today. At first I thought it was an odd choice, as I think the original is not quite one of Coldplay's finest moments, but I really do like Robyn's [...]
Robyn - BBC Radio 1 There are good covers. There are bad covers. And then there are covers so effing amazing that they should totally take the place of the original. Call us overly impressed, but that's the way we feel about Robyn 's gorgeous take on Coldplay 's new tune, "Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall," which she performed recently for BBC Radio 12s Live Lounge. The Swedish pop goddess laces the track with a couple rhythmic dance beats and sounds downright angelic as she sings the chorus. Seriously, just [...]
Saturday’s opener were the Gaslight Anthem who, while only having played Pilton Farm once before, made one hell of an impression when they did. None other than The Boss himself joined the New Jersey boys on stage to power through their anthem ‘The 59 Sound’ before he hit the Pyramid Stage to headline 2 years ago. The Gaslight Anthem this time around were gracing the Pyramid Stage and at first they looked like they were a little overawed by it all. Who can blame them when you have upwards of 10,000 people [...]
