Coldplay Tickets

Formed in 1996, Coldplay emerged from the British rock scene of the mid to late 1990s and achieved massive worldwide fame. Their alternative rock leanings are heavily infused by post-Britpop influences, which transcend traditional British rock and pop genres and incorporate more experimental sounds into the music. The result of this experimentation is emotional, passionate, melodic and expressive. As one of the most successful purveyors of this genre of British music, Coldplay has sold more than 100 million albums worldwide.

A Head Full of Dreams

The band's co-founders, Chris Martin and Jonny Buckland, met during their first year of college at the University College London. United by their love for music, the duo planned to form a band together and recruited talent from across the UK. The band initially went through several names, including Pectoralz and Starfish, before it finally settled on Coldplay. Over the next few years, the band released two extended play albums:

Safety

in 1998 and

The Blue Room

in 1999. The first full-length album, entitled

Parachutes

, came out on July 10th, 2000 and quickly rose up the charts. Not only did the album sell more than 8 million copies, but it set the standard for the band's distinctive sound to come. Following its initial success, the band had a high hurdle to clear when its sophomore album,

A Rush of Blood to the Head

, came out on August 26th, 2002, but it proved to be a massive success. With 15 million copies sold, it is still the band's most successful album. Over the next several years, Coldplay followed it up with five more albums, all of which earned multi-platinum certifications from around the world. To complement its commercial success, Coldplay has also been one of the most critically recognized bands since 2000. Out of the 29 nominations it has received from the Grammy Awards, the band has won seven of them, including the 2002 Best Alternative Music Album award for

Parachute

and the 2009 Song of the Year award for Viva la Vida. Coldplay has toured in numerous venues around the world, from

Wembley Stadium

to the

Tokyo Dome

. The band has also frequently appeared at charity concerts, including Hope for Haiti Now and Band Aid 20.
