BREAKING: Coldplay U.S. and Canada Tour Dates, Or Why Does Coldplay Hate Los Angeles?
While even San Jose has 2 dates listed, Coldplay have curiously left any Los Angeles area appearances off their initial “Viva La Vida” tour announcement. Of course they will play Los Angeles, as there is lots of cash to be made from performing in this market. That gap in the sched between Phoenix on 7/12 and Vegas on 7/19 bodes well for at least 2, maybe even 3 shows. Maybe even a secret club show thrown in some place.
Given an apparent preference for playing nearly exclusively at corporately-branded outsized barns on this tour (i.e., “Jobbing.com Arena”–nice one, Phoenix) it would seem that Staples Center and Honda Center are the local obvious choices. Usually it’s annoying when O.C. venue gets an exclusive “LA area” stop for a big tour, but somehow it would be appropriate for these guys, as it was for The Boss.
