Coldplay To Play Free Intimate London Show

Coldplay have announced details of a free London gig set to take place next month.

The band will perform a set at the 500-capacity Dingwalls venue in Camden as part of a BBC Radio 2 In Concert on December 15.

Fans can apply for tickets through the official Radio 2 website between November 24 and 28.

Writing on their official site, the band revealed: "Dingwalls is the Camden venue which was hired by Coldplay's first manager (and now fifth member) Phil Harvey while he was still a student, for a Coldplay show on 25 May 1998.

"The money raised that night helped pay for the recording of The Safety EP."

The show will be aired live on Radio 2.

Meanwhile, Coldplay have announced five stadium shows set to take place next summer.

The band, who released their fifth studio album 'Mylo Xyloto' on October 24, will play four football stadiums around the UK throughout May and June.

Tickets go on sale on Friday (November 18) at 9am (GMT). For more details and to buy Coldplay tickets, check out Gigwise Gig Tickets.
