Coldplay performed material from their new album live for the first time last night (June 1st) at the MTV Movie Awards in Los Angeles.
The ceremony, which took place despite a huge fire that had broken out at the nearby Universal Studios, also featured a performance from the Pussycat Dolls.
Coldplay performed ‘Viva La Vida’, the title track from their new album, dressed in their new military inspired insignia.
As previously reported, the band are due to play three free shows this month, including a date at Madison Square Garden in New York on June 23rd.
