9/11 Coldplay to play Hidden Gigs for Crisis in Liverpool and Newcastle

Good morning. We're pleased to report that Coldplay will play two intimate Christmas gigs to draw attention to the problem of hidden homelessness and to raise vital funds for Crisis, the UK charity for single homeless people.

The "Hidden Gigs" will take place in Liverpool on 19th December and Newcastle on 20th December.

16/11 Coldplay become patrons of ClientEarth

Good afternoon. We're pleased to report that Coldplay have become patrons of the public interest environmental law organisation ClientEarth

19/11 Who’d like to join team Oracle?

When I answer questions of a personal/emotional nature, Coldplay.com readers often get in touch with their own thoughts. So, we thought we'd launch a new weekly feature, Team Oracle, whereby each Friday (with the question asker's permission) we open up a question to all of you to answer too. Then, the following Friday, I'll post a selection of the best answers, alongside my own reply.

19/11 Hidden Gigs raise huge total for Crisis

Good evening. We're incredibly pleased to report that the ticket sales and auctions for Coldplay's upcoming "Hidden Gigs" in Liverpool and Newcastle have raised over £238,645 for Crisis, the national charity for single homeless people. A huge thanks to all of you who helped towards this amazing total.

Leslie Morphy, Chief Executive of Crisis, said: "The incredible £238,645 raised by Coldplay fans this week will help us to support the thousands of hidden homeless people, who are all too often forgotten, especially at Christmas which can be a particularly lonely and isolating time. We now look forward to the gigs in December and hope they will raise further awareness of the huge issue of hidden homelessness in the UK.”

For those of you not coming to the gigs, rest assured we'll keep you up to date with happenings right here on Coldplay.com.
