PanARMENIAN.Net - Coldplay played ‘Swallowed In The Sea’ for the first time in nearly 10 years on December 10 when they headlined the Etihad Stadium in Melbourne, NME said.

The band dedicated the song to their former manager and current creative director Phil Harvey at the Australian gig. It was Harvey’s last show of the year with the band.

“Please don’t put this on YouTube everybody, this is very unprofessional,” joked frontman Chris Martin after telling the audience he’d accidentally learned the wrong guitar part for the track, which featured on their 2005 album ‘X&Y’.

It was confirmed earlier this year that the band will release a new EP in 2017.

The four-piece took to Twitter to make the announcement. They wrote: “Hello everyone. We’re working on some new songs for next year. It’s called the ‘Kaleidoscope’ EP.”

They gave no further details of any tracklisting or song titles. The band released their album ‘A Head Full Of Dreams’ in December 2015, reaching Number One in the UK and selling over four million copies so far.

Earlier this year, frontman Chris Martin hinted at a future EP release. “We’re comfortable with being who we are at the moment,” he said. “I think when we let go of the idea we had to try and win everyone over I think that was really liberating.”

Martin continued: “I’d be surprised if there was another conventional Coldplay album. I just feel like we’re right where we’re supposed to be right now. I meant what I said to you a couple of years ago I feel like this is a closing chapter of something. I stand by that I’m afraid.”
