Coldplay made history by becoming the first act ever to headline Glastonbury five times, wowing a massive audience with a mesmerizing set that felt like a true homecoming for both the band and their fans. The crowd, filled with thousands of enthusiastic spectators, seemed to be in awe of the band’s ability to deliver a headline performance that truly lived up to the iconic reputation of Worthy Farm.
Founder Michael Eavis himself was present to witness this milestone moment, while the stage also welcomed other notable guests, including rapper Little Simz. Coldplay’s performance was not just a celebration of their own remarkable success as one of Britain’s most renowned bands, but also a tribute to the rich tapestry of talent that Glastonbury festival has nurtured over the decades.
One of the evening’s biggest surprises came in the form of Hollywood legend Michael J Fox, who took to the stage to perform a deeply emotional rendition of “Fix You” on the guitar. The heartfelt song, delivered with remarkable passion, touched the hearts of even the most stoic audience members. Backstage, A-list actor Tom Cruise joined the throngs of fans admiring the dazzling fireworks lighting up the night sky.
From the moment the band kicked off their set with the classic anthem “Yellow,” Coldplay took the audience on a breathtaking journey through their extensive discography. Hits like “Clocks,” “Viva La Vida,” “The Scientist,” and the collaboration with K-pop sensation BTS on “My Universe” had the crowd singing along in unison, creating an electrifying atmosphere of unity and joy.
