Gee whiz, you kids really flocked over to Talkthetour.com yesterday when we announced that Coldplay were slowly pulling back the curtain on their 2006 North American tour via the website. Now, as promised, we are able to reveal the 26-date Clear Channel-promoted funfest in full, as well as the opening acts.

Fiona Apple and ex-Verve frontman Richard Ashcroft will each open a leg of the latest round of the "Twisted Logic" tour. Boy, Martin sure loves dem Apples.

In addition to next year's tour, Coldplay will grace the television set on December 7 and 17, appearing on "Late Night With Conan O'Brien" and "Austin City Limits" respectively.
