Make a video, win a trip to see Coldplay in London

31st October 2008

LOST? VIDEO COMPETITION

Yesterday evening Coldplay.com launched a contest for you folks to create a video for Lost? (the acoustic version of the upcoming single). As Prospekt explained in his brief, you can "use any medium you like: animation, claymation, stop motion, video camera, super 8, comic strip, photography" to conjure your video. We'd just like them to be creative, original and imaginative. The maker of the best video - as chosen by the band - will win an all-expenses trip to London to see one of Coldplay's homecoming shows at the O2 in December. Click here for full details of how to enter and to hear Lost?

PROSPEKT'S MARCH EP DETAILS

It's been announced that Coldplay will release the Prospekt's March EP at the end of November. Click here to read a letter written by Chris explaining the EP, here to watch a video of the band debuting one of its songs in Antwerp (with Albert Hammond Jr), here to check out when the EP and a special edition of the album will be released where you are and here to admire the artwork. If all that leaves you feeling suitably inspired, then pre-order your copy from the Coldplay US/Rest Of The World shop (it'll arrive in the UK/Europe store next week).

LOST+ MAKES RADIO DEBUT

Last night Chris visited BBC Radio 1's London HQ to deliver Lost+, the new version of the track featuring Jay-Z. If you'd like to hear it, then click here and select "Listen to the latest Zane Lowe show". The track is played after about half an hour. You'll also hear Chris talking about a possible visit to Henry Lytton-Cobbold's house next summer. Which would be nice.

LOVING IT IN JAPAN

Coldplay's first dates for 2009 were announced this week, with three Japanese shows confirmed for February. The band will be playing Tokyo's Saitama Super Arena on February 12th and Osaka's Kobe World Kinen Hall on February 14th and 15th. For more information, click here. On sale dates will be announced soon.
