Coldplay have announced plans to play an intimate gig in London next month.
The band will perform a set at the 500-capacity Dingwalls venue in Camden as part of a BBC Radio 2 In Concert show to be broadcast on December 15.
The special festive event is free and fans can apply for tickets from the official Radio 2 website between November 24 and 28.
Writing on their official site, the band revealed: "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 Safety EP."
The show will be aired live on Radio 2. It will also be filmed and shown live via the Red Button and on the Radio 2 site.
Coldplay will play three arena dates in the UK throughout December and have announced plans to tour five stadiums across the country next summer.
