Viva La Vida, the band’s fourth full-length studio album, was released in June 2008 and went on to chart at No. 1 in 36 countries, including the United States and the United Kingdom, and become the top-selling global album of 2008 according to IFPI. The concert will serve as the Los Angeles portion of the The Samsung AT&T Summer Krush concert series, featuring today’s hottest artists participating in unique summer music experiences in major cities.
