So, 2014 isn't that bad an expectation, really.įor more information on managing or withdrawing consents and how we handle data, visit our Privacy Policy at: Show Details Necessary October 2011: The oddly titled Mylo Xyloto is released June 2008: Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends is released June 2005: X & Y released after many delays Here's a timeline of when their albums released:Īugust 2002: A Rush of Blood to the Head is released My best guess would be either late 2014 or early 2015 for the new record. Luckily, Chris has already started writing songs, even if Coldplay is officially taking a break for 2013. So, early 2014 is the expected time they start working on the new album. 21 gig in Brisbane, Australia, and then absolutely nothing planned until early 2014, when the band is expected to reconvene and begin working on a new album." From the article: "Coldplay have about a dozen dates on their itinerary scheduled through a Nov. Coldplay are taking 2013 off completely, citing an article by Diffuser.fm. Next, I will go through the questions that are still (sort of) unanswered. In a piece on The Sun newspaper, Martin is quoted as saying, "The album is definitely coming, unless the rest of the band decide to pursue their modelling careers of course – goodness knows mine is over.” Self-deprecating humor aside, the new album is well under way.

Well, in short, we should not be waiting too long, according to an NME report on the topic. When will there be a follow-up to Coldplay's 2011 not-so-surprisingly successful album, Mylo Xyloto? That's the question on every Coldplayer's mind.
