Coldplay Is Giving It Away!

Filed under: Music Minute > Coldplay

Coldplay wants to be nice to their fans and also promote their live CD, LeftRightLeftRightLeft.

In fact, for the rest of their concerts this year, the band will be giving away FREE live CDs to everyone that attends their shows - not including festivals.

According to the band's site, starting with their first North American tour date on May 15th in West Palm Beach, Florida, "every fan attending a show will be given a free copy of the nine-track CD, which won't be available elsewhere."

Also on the 15th, LeftRightLeftRightLeft will be available to download for free on the band's site.

So what's the reason for the generosity?

Apparently the free CDs are meant as a "recession-busting mark of gratitude to everyone who's supported them."

Coldplay claims that "Playing live is what we love. This album is a thank you to our fans – the people who give us a reason to do it and make it happen."

Free sounds good to us!

      If it were some of the artists that you did like, you'd say how sells must be low or something bad about them giving away CDs.

      Yeah right, like they EVER show up for a concert- they cancel like it's hot.



    25. 25

      Smart marketing. It will ensure that their tour sells out. And that's how musicians make money these days…



    26. 26

      I loooove Coldplay, not a bad CD to date! I can't believe they already have something new coming out!!!! they are so awesome, and so great live.

      perezhilton.com IS a gossip blog ya know?



    31. 31

      it's nice of them.
      but.
      they wouldn't do anything like that without any profit.

      free cd!! overpriced tickets!! come now!



    32. 32

      Re: Charlie Prince
      OK #15, you got in first. Who'd want to pay for that SH*#!
      Even if it's free, i'd feel ripped off.



    33. 33

      There live shows are amazing so it should be a really good CD. If it were just for marketing they would have announced it months ago, before tickets went on sale for their US shows. They start touring in a few weeks so it's a bit late for it to be a ticket sale thing. Most shows are already sold out.

      Can't wait. Thanks Coldplay. It's just another reason why I love ya! (plus the guitarist is rather lovely!)



    34. 34

      sorry but they have to pay me to listen to their crap



    35. 35

      How about this, instead? Coldplay gives me a dollar every time I accidentally hear one of their songs?



    36. 36

      FYI - those albums WILL factor into soundscan reports.



    37. 37

      Can't wait to see them in Pittsburgh and Buffalo!!
