Frank Ocean is the latest Hip-Hop artist to get down with Coldplay. The Odd Future “rap singer” is joining the popular rap group Coldplay on the European leg of their tour.

Joined by such acts as Robyn, Ash, and Marina & the Diamonds, these two artists will both be promoting their debut albums set to drop later this year.
The tour starts off May 18 and will find the two splitting up the opening act task, with Rita kicking things off in May thru June, and Frank holding it down from August into September.
