Maroon 5 to Head Out on World Tour in 2015

How do you remind people that you are one of the biggest bands in music and have been for a decade or so?

Released your new album and a full list of tour dates on the same exact day, of course!

That’s exactly what Maroon 5 did today. Not only did their fifth studio album, V come out today, but they have announced their full 2015 World Tour (or should we call it world domination) dates.

The tour is slated to begin on February 16 in Dallas at the American Airlines Center and travel all around North America until April 3 at the Forum in Inglewood, CA (the same place the MTV Video Music Award were held and the band were told they needed to perform outside).

After that, they will jump across the pond and begin the European installation of the tour on May 26 at London’s Wembley Arena. The European tour will wrap up on June 17 in Lisbon, Portugal at the Meo Arena.

Supporting the band on the trek will be those “Rude” boys, MAGIC! while Rozzi Crane will open the show all over North America and Nick Gardener will take that role during the European dates.

Check out the full schedule below and let the “map that leads to you” puns begin.

Coldplay Release Black and White “Magic”

Coldplay had revealed to fans some good news last month which was soon followed by the sad news that frontman Chris Martin and his wife, Gwyneth Paltrow would be separating, citing “conscious uncoupling.” We still have no idea what that means, but we wish them all the best in the relationship department.

But even with the sad news, Martin needed to keep marching on which found him playing guest mentor on The Voice last week and now, a new music video for their upcoming new album’s lead single, “Magic.”

In the video, Martin plays the role of two magicians; a young and chivalrous one and an older, drunk, and abusive one. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon star  Ziyi Zhang plays the role older magician’s assistant who is repeatedly abused and talked down to. Of course, the younger Martin, came to the rescue and saved her from the mean old man.

Watch the full music video here.

Coldplay’s upcoming new album, Ghost Stories is set to be released on May 16 through Atlantic Records.

Coldplay to Release Sixth Studio Album

Coldplay have revealed two good pieces of news to get their fans through their nasty Monday morning blues.

First, the band revealed a brand new single titled, “Magic.” Then they followed up the new single, by announcing that “Magic” will in fact be featured on their upcoming, sixth album, Ghost Stories.

Last week when they released “Midnight,” some people thought it was just another random new track that the band was dropping. Fans of the band, on the other hand, were hoping that it was just a sign that a new album was on its way. Those wishing for a new record, got what they wanted because Ghost Stories will be released on May 19 through the band’s longtime record label, Parlophone/Atlantic Records.

For those wanting to pre-order the album, they could do so now and get an instant download of the new single while a deluxe version of the album will be sold through Target which will feature three bonus tracks. The audio video for “Magic” can be heard below as well as the full track list for the upcoming record.

Ghost Stories will be the band’s first new album since 2011’s hit, Mylo Xyloto. Last year, the band released a single song, “Atlas” which was featured on The Hunger Games: Catching Fire Soundtrack, earning them a few nominations for the track.

As for the band, Coldplay are set to headline the inaugural U.S. iTunes Festival on March 11 during South By Southwest in Austin. For those not able to make it to Austin, the show will be streamed live through the iTunes Store.
