It will be Coldplays’s first Pyramid stage appearance since 2016 on the Saturday night – cementing their place in history.

While many people were delighted to see them back, not every was so happy and took to social media to complain.

One person moaned: “Jesus, Coldplay again! Everyone else busy  this summer?”

A second said: “#Coldplay ! Again. Come on #Glastonbury surely you could have gone for someone a bit fresher.”

While a third added: “So Coldplay headline @glastonbury yet again, I’m not a fan but don’t actually mind them but this is now ridiculous, how many times is this now, do something different #Glastonbury #Coldplay.”

Their performance will mark 25 years since they first performed at Worthy Farm.

Chris is a huge part of the festival – he went as a punter in 2017 and also joined Kylie Minogue and Stormzy on stage during their sets in 2019.

In 2021 the group did a set as part of Glastonbury’s Live At Worthy Farm livestream after the festival was cancelled due to Covid lockdown curbs.

The Sun previously revealed that Coldplay were likely to perform again – after noting a break during the European leg of their Music Of The Spheres world tour between June 26 to 30, when the festival will take place.

Dua Lipa and SZA were also announced as headlines today, with Shania Twain confirmed for the Legend’s Stage.

Tickets for this year’s festival were snapped up within an hour of going on sale last November, with a standard ticket for the event was priced at £355.

US rock band LCD Soundsystem, British rapper Little Simz, Nigeria‘s Burna Boy, 1980s star Cyndi Lauper and British soul singer Olivia Dean, will also perform on the Pyramid stage.
