That&rsquo;s probably true, but that&rsquo;s just how a world tour works. No chance are we taking a three-year break.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On 9 August 2013, Coldplay announced the release of their song \u00ab\u00a0Atlas\u00a0\u00bb, which featured on the\u00a0soundtrack\u00a0for the film\u00a0<em>The Hunger Games: Catching Fire<\/em>.\u00a0Its release got pushed back to 6 September 2013 (everywhere but the UK) and 8 September (UK). In December 2013, it was announced that future Coldplay releases would be distributed by\u00a0Atlantic Records\u00a0in the US due to restructuring within\u00a0Warner Music Group\u00a0following the purchase of\u00a0Parlophone Records\u00a0from\u00a0EMI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Coldplay - Ghost Story (Official Video)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0-XXX3dnlVc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>On 25 February 2014, the band unveiled \u00ab\u00a0Midnight\u00a0\u00bb, a track from their yet-to-be released album.\u00a0In early March 2014, it was announced that the band&rsquo;s sixth album,\u00a0<em>Ghost Stories<\/em>, would be released 19 May 2014.\u00a0<em>Ghost Stories<\/em>\u00a0is a spiritually driven album that revolves around two major themes mentioned by Chris Martin. The album explores the idea of past actions, and the effects they can have on your future and one&rsquo;s capacity for unconditional love. The band took a different approach for their sixth studio album in contrast to their previous studio albums, with Martin inviting the band to contribute original songwriting material for the album, as opposed to building songs off his ideas as they had done during previous recording sessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From April to July, Coldplay embarked on a six-date\u00a0Ghost Stories Tour\u00a0in support of the album, playing &lsquo;intimate&rsquo; shows in six cities: the\u00a0Beacon Theatre\u00a0in New York City on 5 May,\u00a0Royce Hall\u00a0in Los Angeles on 19 May,\u00a0Casino de Paris\u00a0in Paris on 28 May,\u00a0Tokyo Dome City Hall\u00a0in Tokyo on 12 June,\u00a0Enmore Theatre\u00a0in Sydney on 19 June, and closed the tour at the\u00a0Royal Albert Hall\u00a0in London on 2 July 2014.
