Undeniably the world’s biggest band, Coldplay are now happy to announce the details of a very special stadium show on the Mylo Xyloto tour in New Zealand.

This will mark the first time the 7-time Grammy Award winners have toured New Zealand since the overwhelming success of their 2009 Viva La Vida tour.

Since their debut in 2000 with the global smash hit Yellow, off the equally successful album Parachutes, Coldplay have taken the world by storm with album sales in excess of 55 million and a slew of nominations and awards, including picking up their seventh Brit Award for Best British Group at this year’s ceremony.

With the release of their fifth studio album, Mylo Xyloto, Coldplay have again experienced huge success in New Zealand with the album approaching double platinum sales.  The band’s new single, Princess of China, which features guest vocalist Rihanna has just been released to radio in New Zealand. Princess of China is available on iTunes now and is sure to follow the success of Paradise, their double platinum selling, #3 charting single.

Supporting Coldplay in New Zealand will be The Temper Trap and The Pierces.
