Coldplay’s fifth headlining performance at Glastonbury was marked with a nod to K-pop group BTS. Despite BTS members being currently on mandatory military service in South Korea, they were present at Worthy Farm via Coldplay’s performance of their collaborative track “My Universe” which saw projections of the K-pop band displayed on the Pyramid Stage. The band also shouted out to the members of BTS during their set.
Coldplay’s set also included the debut performance of a new song with Little Simz and a guest appearance from Victoria Canal for “Paradise”. The festival is still yet to offer performances from a diverse line-up of artists including SZA, Shania Twain, Janelle Monae, The National, Two Door Cinema Club, Avril Lavigne, Justice, Nia Archives, James Blake, Alvvays, and Romy among others.
Camila Cabello’s performance scored a three-star rating while Dua Lipa, IDLES, and Fontaines D.C all nabbed a perfect five-star rating. The festival’s first K-pop performers SEVENTEEN also scored a five-star rating.
