This is not official news of the bands website but it has appeared on some newspaper sites.
Summer Festival, Quebec
This announcement has appeared only on French websites which i have attempted to translate and this is what I've derived from it. The band will be performing at the festival on the 3rd of July which is the opening day. According to Wikipedia its an outdoor/indoor festival held through the Canadian city of Quebec. Coldplay are rumoured to be playing at the Plains of Abraham (i wonder if they will play Moses or not) which is the biggest of the venues situated on open fields. Other bands playing include Linkin Park (the other big new band of this decade next to Coldplay) and Yes (another song the boys could play). Here are some links

UK Tour Dates??
In March the band released pictures of their new website (which still has not been implemented) on the screenshots there was a section dedicated to tour dates. The following dates appeared on the picture
25/6/08 - Wembley Arena, London
26/6/08- The NIA, Birmingham
29/6/08 - Apollo Manchester
There is a band (Def Leppard) playing at Wembley the night after the 25th but that night is empty so there is a good chance this could be true. The NIA is also free on that night with Connie Fisher playing the night before. On the other hand the Manchester Apollo is taken on the 29th by Bullet For My Valentine.

First Tour Dates Announced
Summer Sonic Festival
On March 4th the band announced their first date in over a year. the boys will be one of the headline acts at this years Summer Sonic Festival in Tokyo and Osaka on 9th and 10th August respectively. They are playing along side the Sex Pistols ( a legendary yet out-dated punk band) the Verve (with Richard Ashcroft finally realising his nothing without his band). other great bands joining them at the fest include the fratelli's, fat boy slim and the wombats. sadly i can't find the english version of their official website so i'm not entirely sure which day they will headline. but here is the japanese version http://www.summersonic.com/index.html
there were rumours circulating that the band was offered over a million pounds to headline the festival and according to The Sun newspaper they accepted an offer of about 1.2 million pounds.
Pemberton Festival
This seems to be Canada's answer to Glastonbury and Coachella. Held in a quiet town with on-site camping this festival is set to attract about 40 000 fans. Coldplay are unsurprisingly headlining this festival as well, along with Nine Inch Nails (God bless free music) Jay-Z (what!!) and Tom Petty. An article from the Vancouver Sun states that this will be the only festival Coldplay will play at during the northern hemisphere summer (could someone please tell them their not U2....yet)
Coldplay - a British band that has sold more than 30 million albums - is releasing a new album in May, but Pemberton is the only festival they will play at this summer, Bourbonnais said.
I'm assuming they will headline the 27th of July. here is the official site http://www.pembertonfestival.com/lineup/index.aspx
the scenery looks just beautiful. would love to see some footage from this show.
Today Show Concert Series
The American morning show "Today" on the NBC channel will be holding a summer concert series starting from April 25 with artists like Chris Brown Alanis Morissete and of course Coldplay. the boys are set to wake up America on the 27th of June. So i'm expecting alot of promo shows and appearances around that period in the States.
with the first single most probably to be released in mid May I think April will be a really exciting month in terms of promo show announcements.
and here is that article i promised you earlier about Chris
