Austin City Limits Announces Coldplay Taping This Fall

New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Austin City Limits (ACL), the legendary public television music series, today is announcing the return of Coldplay for the 2011 television season. The internationally acclaimed rock group will record the show on Thursday, September 15, 2011, leading up to their headlining performance at the 10th Anniversary of the Austin City Limits Music Festival.

The upcoming taping is Coldplay's first performance at The Moody Theater but marks the band's return to the Austin City Limits stage after several years. Fans interested in attending the taping should read more about ticket availability and public giveaways on the ACL blog approximately one week before the taping.

"We're thrilled to welcome back Coldplay to Austin City Limits and announce such a great surprise addition to our fall scheduled - and to our new home, The Moody Theater, at that. It's hard to believe it's been six years since their first appearance, which was a game-changer and true milestone in so many ways," said Terry Lickona, Executive Producer of Austin City Limits. "The band has truly become a legendary rock group and we're eager to share the upcoming performance with fans nationwide."

In addition to Coldplay, episodes featuring Joanna Newsom, Arcade Fire, The Decemberists and more will all air as part of Austin City Limits' 37th season premiering this fall on PBS on October 1, 2011 (check local listings).
