The episode treats fans to a unique experience as Coldplay performs new songs from their upcoming album X&Y in addition to their previous hits. At the request of the band who wanted a "Storytellers" episode to coincide with the release of their new album, the series was brought back after a hiatus from the channel. In quintessential "Storytellers" form, the band (Chris Martin, Jon Buckland, Will Champion and Guy Berryman) answers questions from fans and in a new interview gives an honest and revealing look at the stories behind the songs and their new album X&Y.

Viewers will get a unique opportunity to hear the inspiration and stories behind such hits as "Clocks," "Yellow," "Politik," "Scientist," "In My Place" and from their new album "Speed of Sound" and "Fix You."
