No additional Irish dates, but Coldplay have announced some new shows on their upcoming tour

Hope springs eternal.

Don't panic Coldplay fans because while you might be feeling yellow after missing out on Croke Park tickets, the band have announced more tour dates but sadly, none of them are in Ireland. While extra dates in Cardiff, Brussels, Paris, Milan and Frankfurt won't exactly send a shiver down the spine of Irish fans, it's good to see that the band are open to playing additional dates - money usually does that. Speaking with The Irish Times, a spokesman for MCD has said that though that at present, there's going to be no second date in Croke Park. Then again, maybe you fancy a little road trip abroad to see Chris Martin and Co. We shall wait and see.
