I’m feeling much better, hurrah for concert news!

As announced on Rick’s blog in the last half hour - Coldplay will play the first gig at the new o2 Arena on Sunday Dec 21st, with tickets on sale this Friday.

** Edit, Friday 25th July @ 9.18am: They sold the first date in six minutes; added a second, and had the second one gone by 9.10am. Impressive stuff.
