December 4, 2015
COLDPLAY’S NEW ALBUM, A HEAD FULL OF DREAMS, IS OUT TODAY
BAND ALSO TO HEADLINE PEPSI SUPER BOWL 50 HALFTIME SHOW
Coldplay’s critically-acclaimed new album, A Head Full Of
Dreams, is released today by Parlophone/Atlantic Records.
The album - which reached Number One on iTunes in more than 50
countries before it was even released - was produced by Norwegian
duo Stargate together with the band’s long-time collaborator Rik
Simpson. It features more guests than any previous Coldplay album,
with Beyoncé, Noel Gallagher, Tove Lo and Merry Clayton among those
appearing.
It was also announced last night that Coldplay will headline the
prestigious Pepsi Super Bowl 50 Halftime Show on February 7, 2016
in Santa Clara, California.
This morning at 10:30 am ET / 7:30 am PT, the band will
celebrate A Head Full Of Dreams’ release with a live stream direct
from their studio/HQ in London, at facebook.com/coldplay. The
stream will also be available on-demand afterwards.
The band will also make a pair of U.S. television appearances to
mark the album’s release - paying a return visit to “Ellen” today
and performing on “The Late Late Show with James Corden” on Monday,
December 7.
Coldplay will tour extensively in 2016 in support of A Head Full
Of Dreams, beginning with a run of stadium shows in Latin America
and Europe. News of North American dates will follow soon.
The groundbreaking animated video for A Head Full Of Dreams’
first single, “Adventure Of A Lifetime,” is now available on
YouTube, following its exclusive premiere on Facebook, where it was
viewed more than 6 million times in 48 hours.
Rolling Stone awarded A Head Full Of Dreams four stars,
observing that it “might be Coldplay’s brightest album ever – an
eagle’s-wings whoosh of soaring melodies, happy dance beats and
Martin at his most wide-eyed.” The New York Times noted, “’A Head
Full of Dreams’…courts the communion of the dance floor, along with
the good will of its allies and fans. Blissful even at its most
bittersweet, it’s an album on which three songs make lyrical
references to diamonds — as in, ‘We are diamonds’— and every
surface contentedly gleams.”
