Coldplay coming to town

[Got Miikka?]

Also gone from the TM site. WTF?

[megatron]

I guess they're not coming?

[Vedder]

Their website says that they have altered the tour dates because of problems with its production. Maybe this 'alteration' resulted in some of the Canadian dates getting cancelled?

Revised Tour Dates
June 10, 2008 9:00 am
Revised North American tour dates...


We're very sorry, but unfortunately Coldplay have had to move the dates of some of the previously-announced US shows. The band have experienced some production delays which mean that the show simply won't be ready for June 29. It's very frustrating but they promise you a show worthy of your patience and understanding when they start in mid-July. All tickets remain valid, but refunds will be available from the point of purchase if you're unable to make it to the new date. Click here to view the full revised routing.

It appears I was wrong...

It's a bit frustrating to learn that we don't exist here in Canada. They couldn't take 17 seconds to mention something about all the cancelled Canadian dates?

I used to like Coldplay, then I made the mistake of listening to one of their albums start to finish, now I know better.

They have a revised schedule but Calgary and Vancouver are not on it

No kidding. I love how it says "Revised North American Dates" and all they talk about is the US. Maybe they think we're one big country.

[jayswin]

Damnit!!!! I'm burning my entire Coldplay collection!!

*put's x and y album in fire*

[Got Miikka?]

'Revised' dates huh? Hang on, let me check... yup, just as I thought: 'revise' and 'cancel' actually have different definitions.

My GF is going to be PISSED! She loves Coldplay

I wasn’t going to go to the show anyway, but I will see them when I got too Pemberton yah!

[FanIn80]

Looking at their "revised" schedule... the only way they come to Calgary now is if they add on shows at the end.

This means that instead of catching them at the begining of the show when the material is fresh and they still have energy, we'll get them at end when they hate the songs and want to kill each other.

[Machiavelli]

No more Winnipeg show, dammit!

Oh well, I guess I shall catch them when I'm back in Ottawa.

[FanIn80]

...and for that extra-special little kick in the nuts, Best Buy just emailed me my "pre-sale code" with a note that says I can only use it to buy two tickets for the Toronto, Montreal or Ottawa shows.

Nice.

balls!

Besides, I wouldn't read too much into what various websites have listed in their search results.

When you're a multi-platinum selling act with huge international presence in the peak of your career, you don't cancel shows on your upcoming promotional tour one week before your CD is even released.

Damn I wish you had been right

Nice, real nice. At least Oasis is still coming, haha.

Kind of ironic, don't you think? You'd expect it to be the other way around, what with the volatile history those Gallagher blokes have.
