Coldplay to release a new EP in 2017 called Kaleidoscope

Coldplay have promised fans brand new music in 2017.

A new EP of songs will serve as the follow-up to their 2015 studio album A Head Full of Dreams, a Number 1 record that was phenomenally successful for the group. The colourful themes of their seventh studio album are set to continue if the name of the EP is anything to go by.

Hello everyone, we're working on some new songs for next year. It's called the Kaleidoscope ep. We hope you're well, love cm #KaleidoscopeEP
