Madonna leads list of 2009's top music tours

2010-04-16T08:17:06Z

NASHVILLE (Billboard) - A year ago, many were predicting a downturn -- if not disaster -- for the music touring industry in 2009 based on a gloomy economic forecast, particularly in North America.

A look at the top tours of the year shows that there were plenty of acts people wanted to see. A dozen of the top 25 tours topped 1 million in attendance, and Madonna and Coldplay says it will reward fans by giving away free CD at all gigs

Coldplay members say they will reward recession-weary fans by giving away a free CD at all their shows this year.

The band says it will give away the disc, "LeftRightLeftRightLeft," at all shows starting with the first date of Coldplay's North American tour in West Palm Beach,

Coldplay Responds To The Satch's Stealing Charges, But Not the Way He Wanted

2010-04-16T13:52:50Z

It’s been almost a week since Joe Satriani accused Coldplay of plagiarizing his song “If I Could Fly” for their own “Via La Vida.” And now, finally, the quartet has officially rebuked the charges, though in the politest of terms, of course. Posted to their website (via Stereogum) last night, the official statement reads, in part, “Joe Satriani is a great musician, but he did not write ...

As Coldplay cart their latest awards home, the question of why they are the solitary British band to find American success recently hangs heavy over the UK music industry.

Some of the reasons are rather prosaic. America is a much bigger country, without a nationwide radio network. The approval of the music press is far less important than an ability to play live. American audi...

Coldplay beat the Britflop blues

2010-04-16T14:45:51Z

British rock band Coldplay took another step towards world domination yesterday when they bagged three gongs at the MTV Music Video Awards - adding to their already bulging sack of trophies and proving that cracking the US market isn't impossible.

As compatriots such as Noel Gallagher of Oasis visited Downing Street in July 1997 to congratulate the incumbent New Labour regime on its stunning victory, it was the end of Britpop as we knew it. The sight of this Mancunian rocker -- the bad boy of Britpop, who together with his brother Liam had injected some much-needed laddish a...

You want creative freedom, of course you do. You want trillions of dollars, of course you do. You want to have your cake, you want to eat it, and you want to keep your lithe figure afterwards as well. And if you can also manage to marry a swan-necked Hollywood lovely and call your first baby Banana, well...

Coldplay confirm new EP and album

2010-04-16T12:38:35Z

Coldplay will release a new EP in December, Chris Martin confirmed this weekend, with their next album to follow in 2009. The EP will be called either Prospects March or Prospect Songs, depending on the outcome of their rock-star polling.

The news came as part of an interview between Coldplay and REM's Snow Patrol, purveyors of Eyes Open, a band whose vaguely consoling Celtic rock is so unremarkable as to muffle such novelties. It is just there, more or less benign, like lint or leaf litter.

There is nothing radically wrong with their fifth album, which is an efficient update of their past two multi-platinum efforts. ...
