UK band Coldplay, who shot to worldwide acclaim with their last album, “A Rush of Blood to the Head,” have announced plans for a new album and a world tour.

They will release their third album, still untitled, in June. They will then begin a world tour in the UK at the end of June.

“We’ve spent a long time in the studio and haven’t played a gig for 18 months so we can’t wait to get out on tour and play our new songs live,” guitarist Jonny Buckland said in a statement.

The album was supposed to be released earlier in the year.

Chris Martin, the group’s singer, has been busy between albums. He married Gwyneth Paltrow and they gave birth to a daughter, which they named Apple, last year. The couple had been rumoured to be going through a “rough patch,” but Paltrow’s representative said that is not the case. “They are extremely happy together.”

Coldplay are currently in New York mixing the album.
