"Iron Man" star Gwyneth Paltrow isn't the only one in her household back at work this year: Her husband, Chris Martin, will also return to the road this summer with his band Coldplay, and the sixth stop on their U.S. tour will be at St. Paul's Xcel Energy Center on July 8.

Tickets to the show go on sale May 17 at 10 a.m. through Ticketmaster. Prices have not yet been released. The concert follows the June 17 release of the British rockers' album, "Viva La Vida," which was produced by U2 and David Bowie cohort Brian Eno.

Coldplay's last Twin Cities performance was a sold-out Target Center gig in 2005.
