If there’s one thing Coldplay know how to do, it’s craft a stadium banger. Viva La Vida. Clocks. The Scientist. They’re all grandiose masterpieces, designed to be sung along to at full pelt. Or howled, depending on your state of inebriation.
So on that basis, they’re the perfect candidate to headline Glastonbury (in fact, this is their fifth turn in twenty years, setting a new record). And what better crowd is there than a field of roughly 100,000 light-up wristband wearing revellers, ready and waiting to sing along to all of the hits?
