THE CANADIAN PRESS/AP/Chris PizzelloTORONTO – Coldplay is doubling its concert dates in Toronto. The British rock group announce that it will extend its scheduled shows at the yet-to-be-opened Rogers Stadium to July 11 and 12 next year. This is in addition to the previously announced dates on July 7th and 8th at the open-air venue, which has yet to be built. Tickets for the new dates go on sale today at 1:00 p.m. ET. The shows are Coldplay’s only Canadian dates on the Music of the Spheres World Tour and will be among the first at the new stadium north of Toronto.
