Coldplay Showcase “Viva La Vida” at First Free Show in London “No refunds,” joked frontman Chris Martin to the 5,000 lucky lottery winners jammed into London’s Brixton Academy last night for the first proper live gig from Coldplay in more than two years. Playing in front of flashing stadium lights that illuminated the ecstatic crowd, Coldplay opened with “Life in Technicolor” and “Violet Hill,” cuts from their new Viva La Vida, before rocking the crowd with classic hits “Clocks” and “In My Place.” • Photo Gallery: Coldplay’s London Free Gig Basking in Viva’s stellar opening sales — the album moved 300,000 copies during its first three days of U.K. release — and playing for millions of less fortunate fans who listened to the show on the BBC’s Radio One, Coldplay worked through a set list that included new songs “42,” “Lost!” and the title track, interspersed with old favorites “Trouble” and “God Put a Smile Upon Your Face.” Playing in England for the first time since 2005, Martin thanked “the most encouraging fans in the world” as the band closed their set with “Strawberry Swing.” A tireless Martin then grabbed an acoustic guitar, perched himself on the balcony of the venerable theatre and serenaded the audience with Coldplay’s first hit “Yellow” before introducing “something super extra double special” as drummer Will Champion joined Martin on the balcony to sing a version of the Pogues’ “If I Should Ever Fall From Grace With God.” The first stage in this new chapter for Coldplay came to a close with “Fix You” and the new “Lovers in Japan” as confetti exploded over the crowd. The trio of free concerts continues tonight in Barcelona and wraps up on June 23rd at Madison Square Garden. Coldplay’s Viva La Vida tour launches July 14th in Los Angeles at the Forum and will take the ba

"Our Ill Wills" by Shout Out LoudsIndie-pop seems to have become the unofficial national genre of Sweden. Anchored by the freewheeling, childlike approach of I'm From Barcelona and the breakout popularity of Peter Bjorn and John, twee-pop is becoming just as common as Ikea. Following in line with their Scandinavian peers—and the trajectory of their excellent 2005 debut Howl Howl Gaff Gaff—Shout Out Louds' second offering, Our Ill Wills, is a scrapbook 12 songs deep of insecurities, lost nights and lost loves. 1980s British mope-pop is an undeniable influence, as the band cribs The Smiths' juxtaposition of bouncy, jilting guitars with sardonic and self-deprecating lyrics and the vocal stylings of The Cure's Robert Smith. But Shout Out Louds aren't short on creativity of their own. "Tonight I Have To Leave It" kicks off the record (and sets the bar high) with a Johnny Marr-style chord progression fused with staccato percussion and bursts of waltzing strings that undulate

U2 Unveils World Tour PlansU2 is set to throw its arms around the world with a visually stunning global tour in support of its new album, No Line on the Horizon. Bono and the boys’ “Kiss the Future” tour kicks off June 30 in Barcelona and is slated to rock on until the fall of 2010, says Billboard. The band will perform on a 360-degree stage placed smack-dab in the center of the audience with a cylindrical video screen capturing all the action. “This is going to be completely different, and that’s what makes it exciting -- finding something new to bring to the touring culture,” says guitarist The Edge. “It’s hard to come up with something that’s fundamentally different, but we have, I think, on this tour. Where we’re taking our production will never have been seen before by anybody, and that’s an amazing thing to be able to say. For a band like U2 that really thrive on breaking new ground, it’s a real thrill.”
