England’s Coldplay will spend much of the winter touring North America in support of its latest album, “A Rush of Blood to the Head.”
The band tackles holiday radio festivals in December, making stops in the Los Angeles, San Francisco, Boston, New York, Washington, D.C., and Philadelphia regions. Coldplay also guests on “The Late Show with David Letterman” on Dec. 16.
In January, the band embarks on a new round of headlining dates, visiting large halls throughout the U.S. and Canada. Plans are in the works for a second leg of North American dates in May and June, according to the band’s publicist.
“A Rush of Blood to the Head,” which hit stores in August and entered the Billboard 200 album chart at No. 5, was produced by the band with Ken Nelson (Gomez, Badly Drawn Boy). Nelson also produced Coldplay’s breakthrough 2000 album, “Parachutes.”
“Parachutes" sold 1.3 million copies in the United States and 5 million worldwide. The album earned the 2002 Grammy for Best Alternative Music Album.
