Jay-Z supports Coldplay
Tue 25th Nov, 2008 in International News
Hot on the heels of their Australian tour announcement, stadium conquerers Coldplay have announced a trio of UK shows next September…supported by Jay-Z.
Despite their divergent sounds (and fanbases?), frontman Chris Martin is rather chummy with the rap mogul. The pair collaborated on the track Beach Chair, and Martin was a vocal advocate for Jay-Z’s contentious Glastonbury headline slot. The pasty Brits and their high-flying friend are thinking big with these dates – even locking in London’s gargantuan Wembley Stadium. It’s not the first time Coldplay have chosen an eyebrow-raising support act, either. In July and August, they were accompanied around America by Brooklyn nu-waver Santogold – who will also be gracing our shores in 2009.
