TICKETS go on sale today for an intimate “hidden gig” in Liverpool by Indie icons Coldplay to draw attention to homelessness and raise funds for Crisis, the national charity for single homeless people.
The location of the December 19 show is a closely guarded secret.
The band know the city well – they were once based in Parr Street Studio.
They recorded their first two albums plus singles Shiver, Yellow, Trouble, In My Place and The Scientist in the heart of the city.
Liverpool will host one of only two live UK performances of 2010.
The venue will remain secret until 24 hours before Coldplay step on stage and has been hand picked by the band for its intimacy and crowd capacity of around 1,000.
Leslie Morphy, chief executive of Crisis, said: “To have the backing of Coldplay brings something unique to Crisis this Christmas.”
Tickets, priced £50, go on sale at 2pm, from www.crisis.org.uk/hidden to people with a Liverpool billing address only.
