It has been three years since Coldplay last played in the UK. The last time they performed at London's Earl's Court Chris Martin famously boasted to the crowd that his band were going on to play "116 countries" to promote their album X&Y.
The band have been fulfilling their promise since then and a 33-date north American tour will precede their return to the UK this summer. Their only free gig at the Brixton Academy is scheduled for June 16.
