Coldplay have announced their return to the stage with a couple of German festival shows in 2011.
The shows will be at the twin festivals of Rock Am Ring and Rock Im Park which fall over June 3 - 5, although it is unclear the exact days the band will be playing.
The band also have planned two special stripped down charity gigs in Liverpool and Newcastle in the U.K. in December, but tickets to those aren't exactly growing on trees, so they don't count.
The band are currently finishing up work on their next studio album, which is the follow up to 2008's 'Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends'. The band began work on this record in 2009, but it still won't see the light of day until next year.
