Coldplay have denied rumours that they were planning to release their next album in October.

Having been confirmed for headline slots at this year's Glastonbury and T in the Park festivals, fans began speculating that the 'Viva La Vida' band were gearing up to release new material.

Following an announcement that no new material would be played by Coldplay this summer, a user of the band's online forum claimed that the fifth studio album would be released in October.

However, a spokesperson for the band has now come forward and confirmed to MTV that: "A release date has not yet been set for Coldplay's next studio album."

It was recently reported that Coldplay frontman Chris Martin's wife Gwyneth Paltrow has signed a recording contract with Atlantic Records.
