Coldplay made history as they became the first group ever to headline Glastonbury five times 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’.

Chris oozed confidence as he strutted about on stage and played a string of the group’s most famous hits however the historic show left fans divided. 

While some viewers branded it ‘iconic’ and were left in tears by the emotional tunes, others branded the show ‘boring’. 

Taking to X excited fans wrote:’OMG Coldplay are smashing it’: ‘Perfection’: ‘Coldplay are just insane’: ‘Chris Martin never disappoints .. Coldplay are spectacular.. can’t stop singing’. ‘Coldplay are always incredible at Glastonbury, and the visuals this year are gorgeous’: ‘I’m not really sure how you can NOT be moved by this perfomance’: ‘What a beautiful moment’: ‘Coldplay absolute class act, that’s how you headline’.

While others bemoaned: ‘Coldplay just meh really aren’t they?’: ‘Same old thing. Absolutely boring’: ‘Coldplay. Again. By a stretch the most boring performance I’ve seen at Glastonbury since their last one’: ‘I like Coldplay but they’ve done every festival for god knows how long and it’s a bit boring now, I’m watching Disclosure instead’: ‘Coldplay are incredibly dull. I can’t work out how they made so big’.

They were later joined by disabled pianist Victoria Canal, 25, who played and also sung back up vocals for an incredible rendition of 2011 hit Paradise.

At one point Chris ran over and took Victoria’s face in his hands clearly over come with the emotion of the moment.

Victoria previously told The Times how she was asked by the singer to join them on stage via a surprise video call. 

‘[Chris]  said, “Hey, Victoria. Do you want to play piano and sing with me on stage at Glastonbury?”.

‘I said, “OK …? That sounds great”. And so from that moment on, I have been rehearsing and figuring out what I’m going to wear on the biggest stage ever.’ 

Frontman Chris previously predicted the band’s astronomical success the year before they had even released their first album.

On June 26, 1998, a then-22-year-old musician stood in the field of UCL’s Wye Farming College during his end-of-year ball and declared what the future of Coldplay, then just a year old, would be.

He said: ‘Jon Buckland, Chris Martin, Will Champion and Guy Berryman Act of the Coldplay. They’re going to go on to be such a huge band. This will be on national television within four years. Four years.

By 26 June, 2002, Coldplay, the band, or whatever they’re called then will be known, just all over man. We’re going to be so big.’

He finished: ‘Guy, Will, John and Chris. Don’t you forget. Massive, absolutely huge.’

The next year they performed at Glastonbury for the first time. They headlined for the first time just three years after that.

Each of the members Chris named stayed on to see the band’s success, and they added manager Phil Harvey along the way. 

Headlining this year’s festival are Coldplay on Saturday night, SZA on Sunday night, and Dua Lipa who performed on Friday night. 

Shania Twain, 58, will play on Sunday in the late afternoon, and she opened up about how she is preparing.
