Coldplay takeover Glastonbury! Viewers stunned by the festival's 'biggest ever' crowd as Tom Cruise leads the stars watching band's record-breaking fifth headline set By Geraint Llewellyn For Mailonline Published: 22:15, 29 June 2024 | Updated: 23:21, 29 June 2024 e-mail 35 shares 177 View comments Coldplay made history as they became the first group ever to headline Glastonbury five times, watched by 30,000 fans including Hollywood A-Lister Tom Cruise on Saturday. The British band, fronted by Chris Martin, 47, made their debut at the iconic festival in the New Bands Tent in 1999, before headlining in 2002, 2005, 2011, and 2016. Kicking off fifteen minutes late the group opened their historic set with 2000 hit Yellow as the sea of festival goers joined in singing.
But some viewers at home were left frustrated by the delay and took to social media to make their feelings known. Writing on X, formerly Twitter: 'You're running late lads. Put a shift in!': 'Always late but worth the wait': '10 mins late FFS classic Coldplay': 'Coldplay late what's new': It really is a Coldplay show if they are late'.
