Coldplay 'In Talks' To Play Show At Slane Castle

Coldplay could be set to headline a show at Slane castle later this year, it has been reported.

The band are reportedly in talks with organisers over an 80,000 capacity show for the summer, reports The Mirror.

A Slane insider said: "Coldplay would be mammoth - they are the hottest ticket in music right now.

"Talks are underway but as is always with Slane, you can't be sure until it's officially announced.

"One thing that is certain is Coldplay would be big box office. Everyone's still talking about their performances at Oxegen and Glastonbury last year."

Over the years a Slane headline slot has come from acts including U2, Queen, Robbie Williams and The Rolling Stones.

Meanwhile, Adele, Rihanna and Coldplay are set to perform at the BRIT Awards next month.

The London singer will make her UK live comeback at the ceremony after undergoing vocal surgery last year.

Noel Gallagher and Ed Sheeran all also confirmed to perform live at the ceremony, which takes place February 21 at London's O2 Arena.
