One of the most anticipated albums expected to be downloaded this year will be Coldplay's newest. The lads are taking their time in re-recording and mixing to make sure that when the release date arrives (TBA) then it will be worth the wait. Bless ‘em.

Until then, any news from Coldplay is exciting news. Coldplay announced on the band website today (www.coldplay.com) that they will headline the Summer Sonic Festival in Japan. The event is held August 9^th and 10^th this year, at Tokyo and Osaka respectively. The bands usually perform on each night at the different cities and it looks like Coldplay will be following suit.

Other acts to perform at the Summer Sonic Festival will include Alicia Keys, Sex Pistols, Fatboy Slim, The Prodigy, Bedouin Soundclash, Junkie XL, The Metros & The Verve (didn't we all love Bitter Sweet Symphony!).

Coldplay will also headline, along with Jay-Z at the first ever Pemberton Music Festival in British Columbia, Canada at the end of July.
