Coldplay Delay Start Of U.S. Tour

On the eve of releasing their new album 'Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends' this weekend, Coldplay have been forced to delay the start of their U.S. tour due to "production delays."

The band were to have commenced their tour on June 29 in Philedelphia but have been forced to push it back to July 14 in Los Angeles, with tickets for the cancelled shows valid for the new ones or refundable from place of purchase.

The band posted a statement on their website:

"We're very sorry, but unfortunately Coldplay have had to move the dates of some of the previously-announced US shows. The band have experienced some production delays which mean that the show simply won't be ready for June 29. It's very frustrating but they promise you a show worthy of your patience and understanding when they start in mid-July."
