Coldplay took to the iconic Glastonbury stage on Saturday night and made history in the process. The band became the first act to headline Glastonbury five times. It marked the British band’s first Pyramid Stage appearance since 2016, and it will see them overtake The Cure, who have headlined the slot four times.
They were due to take to the stage at 9:45pm, yet they rocked up late. The Mirror's team on Worthy Farm spotted crew huddled on stage as fans waited for the band to come out - with the crowd bursting into sing-song and belting out a rendition of Hey Jude. Technicians eventually headed off the stage and a four-minute countdown appeared on a screen.
Coldplay kicked off their set at 10pm, making them 15 minutes late. However, celebrities in the audience remained in high spirits before Coldplay took to the stage as Tom Cruise was snapped signing along with the crowd. He was joined by Simon Pegg and Gillian Anderson as they belted out Oasis' Don’t Look Back In Anger just before Coldplay turned up.
They were seen by fans standing on a platform and teased the crowd by signing along. The huge crowd didn't mind the wait for Coldplay at all as they headed straight into one of their biggest hits - Yellow. The vast audience donned wristbands, which lit up in unison alongside the stage lighting.
Fireworks were also set off throughout their set alongside confetti canons into the crowd for Electric. Speaking to the thousands of fans for the first time, frontman Chris Martin sai.
