and says that the hinted Knebworth gig won't be possible

news: Friday 14th November 2008

Chris Martin, lead singer of Coldplay has revealed that their proposed mammoth Knebworth show will not be happening.

The singer had spoken of the band's plans to hold a one-off gig in the grounds of Knebworth House in Hertfordshire on Zane Lowe's Radio 1 show, as reported here.

However on the coldplay.com website Martin has said, "Well, we tried to get Knebworth but it just wasn't possible. So we're having to think of something else. In fact, I think we have thought of something else. Hopefully we'll be able to announce it soon. And hopefully it's not the same day that Oasis have booked it."

Martin drops further hints adding, "Our touring plans are very much like Christmas presents that are wrapped, but you can basically see what they are. If you look carefully you can see the shape. And you can probably guess, 'Oh this feels like a stadium'."

So it looks as though a forthcoming stadium tour by the band is definitely on the cards for next year. Oasis' stadium gigs include Heaton Park in Manchester, Sunderland Stadium of Light, Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh and Wembley Stadium.
