Coldplay will wrap up 2012 tour in St. Paul

Categories: Just Announced

Am I the only one who has trouble reconciling the idea that Coldplay circa 2011 is the same Coldplay that released Parachutes back in 2000? Having never seen the group live, I always imagined my first Coldplay show would be in a stuffy theater somewhere, in a red velvet seat tailor-made for sitting and moping about those introspective and beautiful first songs.

Coldplay are a more ferocious beast these days, one that crafts ready-for-the-arena albums and one who has skyrocketed to a level of popularity that allows them to actually play those arenas. Their new tour will find them jumping from one gigantic arena to another throughout most of 2012 in support of Mylo Xyloto, concluding with a show at the Xcel Center in St. Paul on August 11.

So if you haven't seen Coldplay live yet, stop waiting on that chance to see them play "Trouble" in an intimate setting -- next time they might be playing from the surface of the moon.
