Coldplay are back on the road for their Viva la Vida tour, which will stop on August 2, 2008 at 7:00 pm at the XL Center - (Formerly Hartford Civic Center) in Hartford, CT.
The group’s fourth album, “Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends” came out in June with the single “Viva la Vida.” On 15 June 2008, topped the UK album chart, despite having been on sale for only three days. In that time, it sold 302,000 copies, making it “one of the fastest-selling records in UK history”. By the end of June, it had set a new record for most-downloaded album ever. Chris Martin described Viva la Vida as a new direction for Coldplay: a change from their past three albums, which they have referred to as a ‘trilogy’.
Coldplay launched competition to select an opening act for Hartford show on the Viva la Vida Tour. Amanda Kaletsky was selected by Coldplay members from a pool of 15 finalists to open for Coldplay at their concert in Hartford.
