Coldplay will film its March 22-23 stand at Toronto's Air Canada Centre for potential use in an upcoming DVD. Taking a page from the Beastie Boys, who drafted fans to shoot footage for their upcoming movie " Awesome: I F***in' Shot That," Coldplay is launching a contest to find five fans to handle the same duties.
Beginning Monday (March 6), Canadian fans can enter the sweepstakes by watching Entertainment Tonight Canada and then logging onto Global TV's Web site. Winners will take home a digital video camera that they will use to film the March 22 show. The footage will then be eligible for inclusion on the Coldplay DVD, a release date for which has not been announced.
The band is in the midst of a North American tour, which visits Milwaukee's Bradley Center tonight. International dates begin June 23 in Brisbane, Australia, and will run through July 18-19 in Tokyo. Afterward, Coldplay plans to quickly get busy working on new material.
Meanwhile, next month will bring the release of "The Hardest Part," the fourth single from the band's 2005 album "X&Y." Current single "Talk" is No. 13 this week on Billboard's Modern Rock chart.
