Frank Ocean to open for Coldplay

It’s safe to say that Frank Ocean’s exposure was raised to a whole new level after being featured on a pair of tracks on Jay-Z and Kanye West’s Watch the Throne album last year. So much so, that the Odd Future-connected signer is now slated to open for a set of shows during Coldplay’s forthcoming tour. Alongside a gang of talented and genre-crossing artists, Ocean will step up his performance audience significantly, from the accustomed club gigs to pretty much stadium status.
