Premium network EPIX will premiere the new Coldplay tour film, “Live 2012,” as an EPIX Original Concert Event in the U.S. on Saturday, November 17.
“Live 2012” documents Coldplay’s acclaimed Mylo Xyloto world tour, which has been seen by more than three million people since it began in June 2011. It includes footage from Coldplay’s shows at Paris’s Stade de France, Montreal’s Bell Centre and last year’s triumphant Pyramid Stage headline performance at Glastonbury Festival.
“The Mylo Xyloto tour has been the most fun we've ever had as a band,” says singer Chris Martin. “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.”
“Coldplay put so much into the tour, it’s a spectacular feat and fun to behold. We’re pleased to give all their fans front row access by premiering the concert on EPIX,” said Mark Greenberg, EPIX CEO.
The film was directed by Paul Dugdale, previously responsible for Adele’s “Live at the Royal Albert Hall” and The Prodigy’s “Worlds On Fire” concert films.
“Live 2012” will be released November 20 on CD/DVD, Blu-ray/CD and digitally.
