Coldplay to Japan in February

Coldplay’s first dates for 2009 were announced recently, with three Japanese shows confirmed for February. The band will be playing Tokyo’s Saitama Super Arena on February 12th and Osaka’s Kobe World Kinen Hall on February 14th and 15^th.

With this information now to hand we can only surmise that an Australian tour is highly likely. The only fly in the ointment now would have to be the recent demise of the Australian dollar which will make high end (and thus high priced) Australian tours by international artists, getting paid in US dollars a much riskier proposition.

Promoters with big balls should apply.
