It wasn't too long ago that we were just hearing Frank Ocean start to shine on his Nostalgia, Ultra mixtape, and one of the standouts was his take on Coldplay's "Strawberry Swing." The Odd Future singer has come a long way since then, and now he's taking another big step. Frank doesn't have much experience performing solo, but he'll be getting a chance to prove himself in front of massive crowds this summer when he opens for Coldplay on their European tour.
Also opening for the stadium rockers will be Roc Nation's newest artist Rita Ora, who we were just introduced to, along with Robyn and Marina & the Diamonds. Check out the tour dates below:
