New single version of Everglow out todayNovember 11, 2016 Stripped-down new recording inspired by the band’s Glastonbury appearance is available now Good morning. We’re pleased to report that the fifth single to be taken from A Head Full Of Dreams album is a newly-recorded version of Everglow. The single is out today on all download and streaming sites. Get it from the links below: Spotify • Apple Music • iTunes • Google Play • TIDAL • AmazonAt the band’s triumphant Glastonbury Festival headline performance in June, a technical mishap meant Chris Martin was forced to deliver an unrehearsed solo performance of Everglow. The band liked it so much that they recorded a new, similarly stripped-down version of the song for release as a single. A newly posted clip on Instagram shows Chris recording the new version. The single version also features an audio excerpt of Muhammad Ali speaking to a live studio audience in Newcastle upon Tyne, in 1977. God is watching me God don’t praise me because I beat Joe Frazier God don’t give nothing about Joe Frazier God don’t care nothing about England or America as far as real wealth… it’s all His. He wants to know how do we treat each other? How do we help each other? So I’m going to dedicate my life to using my name and popularity to helping charities, helping people, uniting people, people bombing each other because of religious beliefs. We need somebody in the world to help us all make peace. So when I die – if there’s a heaven – I’m gonna see it. Anchorman

Amazing Day global film project on Nov 19November 17, 2016 Please take a moment on Saturday to make a short video showing us your worldGood evening. On Saturday (Nov 19th) – the day of Coldplay’s Indian debut at the Global Citizen Festival in Mumbai – we’re asking for your help with a worldwide film project for the song Amazing Day. Wherever you are, whatever you are doing, please take a moment on Saturday to make a short video showing us your world. The video should be around 20 seconds long and filmed in portrait aspect. Please don’t use filters on your video. Your video is welcome to have sound, but it would also be good if your clip still makes sense if watched without audio or dialogue. Your amazing day might be as simple as being with your best friends or the view from your bedroom window. Or, do you have a unique talent or a special moment you’d like to show the world? Use your imagination. But please do not take any risks or break any laws (in fact, it’s definitely worth giving the T&Cs a read, please). Once you’ve made your video, upload it to your Instagram account, using the hashtag #ColdplayAmazingDay, and tagging your location. After you’ve done that, please submit the link to your Instagram video (example: http://instagram.com/p/BK8Wz0IjOq1 ) using the form at amazingday.coldplay.com. You can only submit one link per person. Thank you in advance. We’re excited to see what you come up with! Anchorman

Jess Kent interviewDecember 23, 2016 Jess Kent opened for the band on the recent NZ/Australia leg of the AHFOD Tour. We dropped the hotly-tipped singer/songwriter/guitarist a line to find out how she got on. Hello Jess, how are you?I’m still on a high from the amazing fortnight we just experienced. How was the tour?It was such a huge opportunity to learn, and stretch ourselves. It was special and so, so fun. When did you find out you were playing the tour?We found out that we were jumping on the tour a month or two before. Took a minute to sink in – unreal! Had you ever played in venues that big before? If not, how did you prepare for it?I’d never performed in a stadium before now. I try to think of it as “big busking” so that I can get my head around it! Do you think your busking background has helped you to play to crowds who don’t necessarily know you?I think there’s something to be said for playing to crowds that are under no obligation to stop and listen to you… you have to learn some tactics and also have fun with it and be open to any outcome! How did you feel on the first night of the tour in Auckland?It was a bit of a whirlwind experience, and all pretty new but the band and I were pumped to get out there! And how did it go?It was such a euphoric experience. It’s like a time warp up there; you jump up, and it flies by and then you’re off stage again. How about the rest of the tour, did it go as you hoped it would?It went even better than we could have hoped. I learned from every show, and tried to apply what I’d learned to the next. Although.. *embarrassing story* I did run out at the first Melbourne show and shout, ‘hey Brisbane!!!’ to which Chris later passed on some very valuable advice… so I learned a lot of important lessons too!!! That’s how I try to treat everything. So the worst part really was when it ended. Were the crowds responsive, with you being a homegrown act?It was great to see them react when I make a comment about Adelaide, or Sydney… felt the Aussie love. Was it interesting to see behind the scenes of a huge tour like that?It was definitely different to the backstages I’m used to. Did you get to watch Coldplay’s show?We watched the show… a couple of times snuck out into the crowd to watch. What did you think of it?I thought it was incredible… the attention to detail, and precision of the whole band and crew working as a unit was inspiring to say the least. Were you already a fan of the band?I remember watching The Scientist on MTV or something, when it came out. Did you manage to meet up with them at all?We went to visit Government House in Victoria, with Jonny and Will which was really interesting and cool, and had a laugh. Chris passed on some priceless songwriting tips. How about Lianne La Havas?Lianne is a sweetheart. For those reading who haven’t heard your music, how would you describe it?The songwriting and rhythms are coming from the past in the form of reggae/ dancehall, hiphop and Britpop, and the beats are from the future. And what should they check out if they like the sound of that?My first EP, My Name is Jess Kent, just came out and it’s on Spotify and iTunes So now the tour is done and Christmas is approaching, what are your plans?I’m spending a couple of weeks in Adelaide writing and getting into album mode, then we fly out to LA and then come back to Australia for Laneway Festival. And then what’s coming up for you in 2017?Hopefully more touring!! And making the album. Finally, the question we ask all our Coldplay.com interviewees, what’s your favourite Coldplay song, and why?Fix You. Because it’s a song I wish I’d written. For more info on Jess Kent, check out her website, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram
