Coldplay, who usually sell out stadiums and arenas, have announced details of a one-off intimate performance that will take place next month in London. 

The band are set to play a very special Christmas gig at Camden's famous 500-capacity Dingwalls venue for BBC Radio 2 In Concert and it will be broadcast on December 15. Writing on their official website earlier this afternoon, November 17, the band explained:

"We're very pleased to announce that Coldplay will perform a special Christmas show at London's Dingwalls venue for BBC Radio 2 In Concert, which will be broadcast on Thursday, 15 December (having been recorded a few days earlier). The show will be broadcast on Radio 2, which you can listen to online worldwide."

Tickets to the show are free and will be available to apply for through Radio 2's official website between November 24-28. Dingwalls is a venue close to the band members' hearts and they added:

"Dingwalls is the Camden venue which was hired by Coldplay's first manager (and now fifth member) Phil Harvey while he was still a student, for a Coldplay show on 25 May 1998. The money raised that night helped pay for the recording of the band's first release, The Safety EP."
