Coldplay performed a pair of tracks from their newly-released album “A Head Full Of Dreams” on CBS-TV’s The Late Late Show with James Corden on Monday.
The group played the project’s lead single, “Adventure Of A Lifetime”, and closed the program with the title track – which included a guest appearance by the host on piano.
Earlier in the broadcast, Coldplay sat down with Corden to discuss their seventh record, which includes guest appearances by Beyonce, Noel Gallagher, Tove Lo and Merry Clayton.
“A Head Full Of Dreams” was produced by Norwegian duo Stargate and Rik Simpson and recorded in Malibu, Los Angeles and London.
Available most places upon its release last Friday, the group held the record back from Spotify for one week; it will be on the streaming service as of December 11.
Coldplay will perform the Super Bowl 50 halftime show at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, CA on February 7.
Coldplay are premiering the video for “Adventure Of A Lifetime”, the lead single from their forthcoming album “A Head Full Of Dreams.”
Directed by Mat Whitecross, the animated clip – which took six months to create – uses motion capture technology and CGI to have the band appear as apes performing the song in the jungle.
The video appears to be inspired in part by Stanley Kubrick's legendary 1968 science fiction movie “2001: A Space Odyssey.”
While the film presents apes discovering how to use objects as weapons after encountering a mysterious black monolith, the Coldplay clip sees them discovering instruments and performing the tune after finding a Beats Pill portable speaker in the forest.
Due December 4, “A Head Full Of Dreams” was produced by Norwegian duo Stargate and Rik Simpson and recorded in Malibu, Los Angeles and London.
The follow-up to 2014’s “Ghost Stories” includes guest appearances by Beyonce, Noel Gallagher, Tove Lo and Merry Clayton.
Coldplay debuted three previously unheard tracks from their forthcoming album, “A Head Full Of Dreams”, during a Tidal live-streamed show at the Belasco Theater in Los Angeles on Saturday.
Billboard reports the band showcased four new tunes including the title track, "Amazing Day,", “Up&Up” and the project’s lead single “Adventure Of A Lifetime.”
The 11-song set before an intimate crowd of 2,000 plus also delivered hits like “Yellow”, “Clocks”, “Paradise” and “Viva la Vida”, among others.
Coldplay postponed the originally-planned live stream from the same venue on November 13 following the terrorist attacks in Paris. The group, instead, performed a short acoustic set that night – including John Lennon's "Imagine" as a tribute to Paris – for the fans who had already lined up at the theater.
Coldplay frontman Chris Martin is one of many high-profile music artist investors in the Tidal streaming service.
Due December 4, “A Head Full Of Dreams” was produced by Norwegian duo Stargate and Rik Simpson and recorded in Malibu, Los Angeles and London.

Coldplay’s “A Rush Of Blood To The Head” has been named the favorite album of all time by BBC Radio 2 listeners.
The BBC reports Coldplay's second album, released in 2002, beat the likes of Pink Floyd and The Beatles to top the Radio 2 poll.
“A Rush Of Blood To The Head,” which includes hits such as “Clocks” and “The Scientist,” topped the charts in 2002 and sold more than 2.8 million copies in the UK.
Coldplay's “Clocks” topped a recent BBC Radio 6 Music poll of the top 100 tracks of the past 10 years.
Taking second place in the Radio 2 list was Keane's 2004 record “Hopes And Fears,” while Duran Duran's “Rio” came third in a list that featured just two albums from the last decade.
