Coldplay cemented their status as one of the greatest live acts of their generation with a historic headline performance at the Glastonbury Festival 2024.
The British band, led by Chris Martin, became the first act to headline the iconic festival five times, surpassing the previous record held by The Cure.
The band’s Saturday night set on the Pyramid Stage was a triumphant return to Worthy Farm, having last performed there in 2016.
