Performer Info

Coldplay: Coldplay is one of few English rock bands in recent years to receive monumental acclaim both in England and the US simultaneously. Having played sold-out stadium tour dates around the world and sold over 50 million albums worldwide, Coldplay has reached a level of fame that's likely to last for decades to come. Fans have been waiting years for the release of Coldplay's upcoming, as yet untitled album that's set to release this fall. Before the album releases and a promotional concert schedule is announced, fans can catch Coldplay at a handful of international festival tour dates in 2011.

After forming in 1996, releasing three EPs, and going through quite a few name changes, Coldplay broke into the mainstream with their debut album, Parachutes, in 2000. The album went platinum seven times, won a Grammy in 2002, and was largely supported by the single "Yellow." The acclaim was succeeded by numerous high profile, headlining tour dates . Coldplay's following albums, including A Rush of Blood to the Head and Viva la Vida experienced similar success: winning Grammys, going multi-platinum, and placing at the top of the charts.

After three years of recording, Coldplay will soon be ready to release their next smash record. Fans are excited about the album's release, as well as upcoming summer and fall tour dates in 2011. Festival highlights from the concert schedule include Splendour in the Grass, Lollapalooza, Austin City Limits, and Rock In Rio. Coldplay's final tour dates in 2011 will be supporting the Parlotones in South Africa in early October, but more dates might be added to the concert schedule.

Robyn: Swedish pop-star, Robyn, became a worldwide sensation as a teenager with her hit singles "Show Me Love," and "Do You Know What it Takes," in 1997. However, the young starlet soon realized the downside to fame; Robyn's concert schedule and international acclaim took a toll on the singer and she began to suffer from exhaustion, which prompted a return to her homeland of Sweden in order to recover.

Robyn's RCA debut, Robyn is Here (1997) propelled the teenager to pop-stardom with a series of international singles. After a brief hiatus, she returned to the studio and recorded her sophomore release, My Truth, in 1999. While it was a hit across Europe, the album was never released in the United States. Robyn continued to record hit albums that were successful on the Euro pop and dance charts throughout the 2000s. She returned to international acclaim in 2010 with the release of the Body Talk album series that featured dance and pop hits popular on the international club scene. Indeed, the albums were so successful that they garnered Robyn two Grammy nominations at the 2010 ceremony, and spawned the #1 single, "Dancing On My Own."

She is currently touring the United States in support of the Body Talk albums-- the Robyn concert schedule (2011) sees her performing over thirty dates throughout the country. Whether you were a fan of Robyn when she hit the scene in the nineties, or you rediscovered this pop-star with her Body Talk releases, make sure you catch her live when she comes to your area.
