Undeniably the world’s biggest band, Coldplay, announced in March that they will be heading our way this November and Chugg Entertainment are now happy to announce the details of four very special stadium shows on the Mylo Xyloto tour in Australia and New Zealand.

This will mark the first time the 7-time Grammy Award winners have toured Australia since the overwhelming success of their 2009 Viva La Vida tour and their quick visit to our shores headlining 2011’s Splendour in the Grass.

Since their debut in 2000 with the global smash hit Yellow, off the equally successful album Parachutes, Coldplay have taken the world by storm with album sales in excess of 55 million and a slew of nominations and awards, including picking up their seventh Brit Award for Best British Group at this year’s ceremony.

Supporting Coldplay in Australia and New Zealand will be The Temper Trap. The Temper Trap’s sophomore, self-titled album is the follow up to 2009’s critically-acclaimed platinum-selling debut Conditions – a long-standing Top 10 ARIA Album, which has now sold over 800,000 copies worldwide. With the album release locked in for 18 May, fans can expect to hear new material at the shows, including Rabbit Hole and their new single, Need Your Love.

The wait is over - New Zealand’s much loved folk comedy duo Flight Of The Conchords are finally coming to Australia! The Frontier Touring Company will be bringing Kiwi funny men Bret McKenzie and Jemaine Clement to visit fans on the other side of the Tasman for their first ever Australian headline tour this July.

Jemaine said of the announcement; "We are finally returning to Australia. Mostly to apologise."

In a buoyant career spanning almost fifteen years, Flight Of The Conchords has become one of Australia’s favourite comedy and musical acts, with the band gaining notoriety for their hilarious ditties including ‘Carol Brown’, ‘Foux Da Fafa’, ‘Epileptic Dogs’ and many more.

New Zealand’s self-proclaimed ‘fourth most popular folk-parody duo’ make musical comedy an art form. Throughout their live performances the duo picks up multiple instruments, including the ukulele, toy piano, keytar, synth and a ‘1987 Casio DG-20 Casio electric guitar set to mandolin’ to create the sounds of some of the most bizarrely wonderful crowd singalongs heard on-stage. Flight Of The Conchords Australian tour:
Thursday 5 July – Sydney Opera House, Sydney
Saturday 7 July – Brisbane Entertainment Centre, Brisbane
Tuesday 10 July – Newcastle Entertainment Centre., Newcastle
Wednesday 11 July – WIN Entertainment Centre, Wollongong
Friday 13 July – Adelaide Entertainment Centre, Adelaide
Saturday 14 July – The Plenary, Melbourne
Wednesday 18 July – Challenge Stadium, Perth
