Just watching Chris Martin prancing around the stage at Glasto singing his pop music and can't help feeling annoyed that they started off as one thing and completely sold out to pop. AIBU to say that their parachutes album was and always will be the best.

We'll never know til we hear the rest of the albums 😜

Loved that new song, who is the girl singer in the white dress and DM's? She fab!

I don't know much about anything but I see that clip of a fan rushing Chris Martin and he's cringing at her. That's all I need to know.

Personally I am very happy they "sold out to pop" much prefer their current incarnation to their whiny past.

The first three albums were really good. Now they've completely jumped the shark. WTF is with the awful trumpets? Oh great, now they have some strange act mudering one of their songs.

I will forever love them for what they did for their families.

Enjoying it so far (and I'm of the Parachutes generation).

But ... What just happened?? Aliens???

goneaway2 · 29/06/2024 23:03

It's actually gotten worse. What's with the aliens? Is this still Coldplay?

Confusedbythistreat · 29/06/2024 23:04

I'm loving the aliens!

Maybe he thought she might be coming to hurt him.

For someone that can’t really sing, he’s done well for himself, they write catchy songs and put on a great show. Coldplay have always been safe, cheery, lift music. He seems like someone who is grateful for his good fortune. Amused at the thought they were ever anything other than a pop band

Meh, over a few decades music evolves?

MammaTo · 29/06/2024 23:06

Weve literally just had the same conversation. Parachutes was an amazing album.

Was that alien a security dude?

NeedWineNow · 29/06/2024 23:11

We’ve turned over to Jessie Ware on the West Holts stage. Much better. Coldplay are a busted flush I think.

Looks to me like the audience are having a great time 😊

This, see Alexis Petridis et al. Weird that people can’t just enjoy well crafted tunes and lyrics that ring true and are terrified of admitting many people easily relate to said lyrics

Bobbybobbins · 29/06/2024 23:17

I bet they couldn't get anyone else to headline so gave them a ring....

Itisjustmyopinion · 29/06/2024 23:17

Yellow is a pretty shit song. Always surprised it’s as popular as it is

They have definitely got better over the years. But headlining Glastonbury 5 times is ridiculous, surely there are other headliners. Apparently they always do it for free so guess that’s why they are always booked

They seem to be doing a great job of it though. So well done to who ever booked them.

HNY2023 · 29/06/2024 23:20

Well I love pop music and I’m watching them now and didn’t realise how much I liked their music until night … so maybe they are very main stream pop but they bring me enjoyment 🎤😎

Summertimer · 29/06/2024 23:22

Seriously, Fix You and Everglow got me through some tough days when my bro passed
