    Coldplay have announced a 2012 tour of North America.

    The 'Every Teardrop is a Waterfall' group are set to play a string of dates in support of their latest album, 'Mylo Xyloto,' from April to August 2012, their first tour in the US and Canada in three years.

    Talking about the album, frontman Chris Martin told MTV news: "It's definitely a schizophrenic album - it keeps changing sounds. That's why we called it such a strange thing, Mylo Xyloto.

    "Because we felt like so many people have already made up their minds about us, both good and bad, that we can sort of start again from scratch and try and reflect all the music we listen to and we love."

    The band's North American tour dates will be a huge change from earlier this week when the group played an intimate show for 500 fans at the Camden Dingwalls venue in London, England, a venue they had last played in 1998, as they released their debut 'Safety' EP.

    Coldplay also had teething problems with their new set, as they had a couple of false starts playing new track 'Hurts Like Heaven' at the show.

    After finally getting through the song, Chris laughed to the crowd: "This is worse than 14 years ago. We f***ed that up as well. Come on, we're a professional band for f**k's sake."

    The band will also fly back to Europe at the beginning of June for five dates in the UK.
