Coldplay have confirmed the November 13 release of Live 2012, a 90-minute concert film and album mainly recorded in Paris’ 75,000-capacity Stade de France.
“The Mylo Xyloto tour has been the most fun we've ever had as a band,” Chris Martin enthuses. “It's felt very uplifting right from the start; partly because we are proud of the music, the LED wristbands, the pyrotechnics, the lasers and all of that stuff, but mainly because of the amazing audiences that we've been playing for. Over the years, our crowd has become more and more a part of the concert itself. They're loud, diverse, full of soul, and make the songs sound much better than we can on our own. We wanted to try to bottle the incredible feeling that they give us, and hence our concert film.”
Adds director Paul Dugdale: “It's a kaleidoscope of emotions. My main objective as a filmmaker was to make the viewers' eyes widen and their hearts beat faster.”
