Coldplay To Give Away Violet Hill As Free Download

Coldplay is giving away a freebie to fans in order to generate some advance word for their 4th studio album, Viva La Vida or Death And All His Friends,  due to be released on June 12th in the UK and June 17 in North America.

The single Violet Hill will be available as a free download for a week at www.coldplay.com, beginning on April 29 at 12:15.  

And that’s not the only gift for the public in store from Coldplay — the band will also be giving two free massive concerts in London and New York to celebrate the launch as well.

The first concert will take place at London’s Brixton Academy on June 16 followed by New York’s Madison Square Garden one week later on June 23.
