Background

After devoting the summer of 2011 to a promotional tour in Europe, the Americas and Africa,[8] the band announced the tour via their Twitter account in September 2011. Initial dates revealed shows in the UK, France, Germany and Belgium. A set of rehearsal shows were added for October and November, seeing the band partake in radio festivals and fan-exclusive gigs. Due to the demand, the band added additional shows in the UK. One of those dates is a concert at Dingwalls in London. Here, the band played several shows to help finance their debut album. Later in November, more dates were added in the UK, this time, playing stadiums in June 2012.[9] The shows in Coventry, Manchester, Sunderland and London sold out in under two hours.[10] The tour kicked off with a live-streamed concert in Madrid. Each member of the band received £10.2 million after tax from the £118.4 million made.[11]
Broadcasts and recordings
Prior to the tour the band made a promotional concert in Madrid which was streamed live on YouTube. Entitled, "Coldplay Live: Unstaged", the band performed songs from Mylo Xyloto alongside their previous hits. The concert aired on 26 October 2011. The show was not only streamed on YouTube but also in Times Square. Internet users were able to view exclusive content including a pre-show interview and footage from the band's soundcheck. Viewers were also able to select their camera view, spanning from "front of stage" to "aerial". The show was directed by Anton Corbijn and presented by American Express.[12] The live webcast is reported to have been viewed by nearly 20 million viewers.[13] Replay of the show on Vevo was viewed by nearly 8 million viewers.
The 1 June concert at the Emirates Stadium was broadcast on Absolute Radio.[14] Known as "Coldplay: Live at the Emirates", the full show was aired live and uninterrupted.[15] Before the program aired, DJ Geoff Lloyd hosted a special entities, "Coldplay Hometime Special". The set featured interviews with the bandmembers, alongside the band's hits. A live album and concert film, entitled Coldplay Live 2012, were released in 2012. Two associated EPs, iTunes Festival: London 2011 and Live in Madrid were released on 18 September 2011 and 31 October 2011, respectively.
