Coldplay announced as first Glastonbury headliner

Coldplay have been announced as the first of three headliners set to top the bill at this year's Glastonbury Festival later this year.

This will become the fourth time the band have headed up the Pyramid Stage at the festival, and join Jeff Lynne's ELO as only the second name to be confirmed for the event so far.

Speaking of their booking, Glastonbury organisers said, “The band will become the first artists to headline Glastonbury on four occasions, following previous Pyramid Stage headline appearances in 2002, 2005 and 2011. Their 2011 set was later voted the Top Glastonbury Moment of the event’s long history by BBC Radio listeners.

The Glastonbury performance will be Coldplay’s only festival show of this year’s A Head Full Of Dreams Tour.”

Glastonbury Festival is set to take place in its usual location on Worthy Farm from the 23rd-26th June.
