The dates begin Sept. 12 at Manchester’s Old Trafford Cricket Ground, continue on Sept. 16 at Glasgow’s Hampden Park and finish Sept. 19 at London’s Wembley Stadium. Jay-Z, who guests on “Lost+” on the band’s special edition album, will be the support act on all dates.

“Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends” was originally released in June and charted at No. 1 in 36 countries, including the U.S. and U.K., according to Capitol.
The band’s sold-out 2008 U.K. winter tour commences at Sheffield on Nov. 29. It has also announced a seven-date Australian tour for February and March.
