Coldplay to Play Christmas Shows

added 10 November 2010 at 11.42

The intimate gigs are for charity Crisis...

In a post on their website the band say they want to draw attention to the problem of "hidden homelessness".

Crisis is the UK charity for single homeless people.

The tiny gigs will be at a secret venue in Liverpool on December 19 and in Newcastle on December 20.

Both venues have a capacity of around 1000 people. 200 tickets are going to be held back for locals.

And & Dec will be compering the Newcastle night.

Tickets go on sale this Friday (November 12) at 2pm and cost £50.
