That's all folks. It's marketing, and someone has failed. They just want to keep it in secret to announce it as a big surprise.

Coldplay visitarán Madrid en Octubre


Ya sabéis que cuando subimos noticias a altas horas de la madrugada es porque el asunto es importante. Uno de los grandes grupos de esto de lo que hablamos se pasará por Madrid próximamente en extrañas circunstancias, y os contamos.

Coldplay estarán el próximo 26 de Octubre en la Plaza de Toros de las Ventas presentando mundialmente su nuevo disco, que como ya sabéis llevará el título de “Mylo Xyloto”. El concierto, como decimos, será la presentación oficial del disco para todo el mundo dos días después de su salida al mercado, esto es el 24 de este mismo mes. El concierto, como parte de esta presentación, será retransmitido vía streaming por Youtube, fruto de la colaboración entre la página web de vídeos online, VEVO y American Express, tal como ocurrió con la serie Unstaged protagonizada por Arcade Fire.

La banda británica ha elegido esta vez Madrid como escenario de esta presentación que tendrá como anfitrión uno de esos lugares en los que tenemos infinitas ganas de ver un concierto, la plaza de toros de las Ventas, y que tantas veces hemos visto los más jóvenes en, por ejemplo, el concierto de AC/DC grabado en el mismo marco. Si quieres estar allí debes saber que las entradas saldrán a la venta hoy día 7 de octubre y hasta el 9 en preventa para los clientes de American Express, patrocinador del evento. Si – como es normal- no eres dueño de una de estas tarjetas. las entradas se pondrán a la venta para el público general el próximo lunes 10 de octubre a través de la red Ticketmaster. Aún no conocemos información sobre precios.

Por supuesto, decir que toda esta información la conocemos gracias al periodista Manuel Cuellar de El País que es el que se ha encontrado la cartelería anunciando, previa confirmación del grupo, el concierto de las Ventas.

Coldplay Live Concert Webcast to Be Directed by Anton Corbijn

By DAVE ITZKOFF




To add to a directorial résumé that includes films like “The American” and “Control” as well as music videos like U2’s “One” and Nirvana’s “Heart-Shaped Box,” Anton Corbijn has found an assignment that he expects will keep him on his feet. “And afterwards,” he said, “on my back, probably.”

Mr. Corbijn, the Dutch filmmaker and photographer, will direct the live Web broadcast of a concert performance by Coldplay, the British rock quartet, at the Plaza de Toros de Las Ventas in Madrid. The Webcast is the latest entry in the American Express Unstaged series, which has previously paired Terry Gilliam with Arcade Fire; David Lynch with Duran Duran; and Todd Haynes with My Morning Jacket. The Coldplay concert will be streamed live starting at 4 p.m. Eastern time on Oct. 26 at youtube.com/coldplayVEVO, and is presented in partnership with the video Web sites YouTube and VEVO. The companies were expected to announce the event on Thursday.

The concert, to promote Coldplay’s new album “Mylo Xyloto,” will put Mr. Corbijn in charge of 12 cameras that will be situated around Las Ventas, a famous Spanish bullfighting arena that has previously hosted performances by AC/DC and Radiohead. In a telephone interview, Mr. Corbijn described a recent visit to the bullring (“My star sign is Taurus, so I was a little hesitant going in there”) and said it was a “fantastic place” for a rock concert.

“Usually when you play to 15 or 20,000 people, the arenas tend to be elongated, and this is round and it’s very high up, so there’s a wall of people around you.” Mr. Corbijn said, adding: “Spanish people tend to be very enthusiastic at concerts, and you get incredible energy from them. I would prefer it to Amsterdam.”

Though Mr. Corbijn is perhaps most closely associated with Depeche Mode, the moody electronic rock band for whom he directed videos like “Personal Jesus,” he has also directed videos for Coldplay’s songs “Viva La Vida” and “Talk,” and said he finds Coldplay to be “a very uplifting band.”

Then again, he said, “I have such a love of good music, that I find even melancholic music uplifting. Maybe I’m a rare breed.”

After the Coldplay concert (and perhaps a nice long nap), Mr. Corbijn says he is starting work on a film adaptation of “A Most Wanted Man,” the John Le Carré novel about a mysterious man’s arrival in post-9/11 Hamburg.

He might also cross paths with the Coldplay front man Chris Martin at a gym they both frequent, although, Mr. Corbijn said, “This makes it sound like I go to the gym every day. There was a period that I would at least go once a week. But not currently.”

Can't wait for this. The Arcade Fire one directed from Madison Square Gardens by Terry Gilliam was FABULOUS. With the amazing Anton Corbijn on board this could be even better.
