Chris Martin has discussed Coldplay's new album with Radio 2 DJ Jo Wiley - saying that there's a big year ahead for the band.
Due next year, A Head Full Of Dreams will be their seventh and potentially final album - one that could be a departure from the stripped back fare of Ghost Stories.
Speaking on the radio, Martin explained how it would be full of "bombast" and that everything was already "mapped out".
"You know Harry Potter and things have instalments, and you know we just made an introspective record and didn't really do much around it," he said. "Secretly we may have something else in mind, but I accidentally told Zane [Lowe] about it."
He added: "We're trying to make something colourful and uplifting and we're just having quite a good time making it because we've spent so long not making that kind of thing."

Martin also revealed that they had discussed a seven-album concept "about two years ago".
"We know what the name of it is and that's about it, and some of the songs," Chris explained, saying that they already have part of the album written.
Drummer Will Champion added: "We've got a big year planned next year in terms of recording, it's all mapped out."
