Coldplay are gearing up to release their latest album, Ghost Stories, on May 19, and they’re already plotting dates to bring fans their new music.
The six-date trek, which will have the band playing smaller, more intimate gigs, includes two stops in America: May 5 at New York City’s Beacon Theatre and an L.A. show at Royce Hall on May 19, the day of the album’s release.
The band gave fans at Austin’s SXSW a taste of their latest release in March at the iTunes Festival, debuting tracks off their sixth album, which follows 2011′s record-turned comic book, Mylo Xyloto, including “Magic,” the Bon Iver-sounding “Midnight,” “Another’s Arms” and “Always in My Head.”
