After Coldplay’s record-breaking performance at Glastonbury 2024, fans have been taking to social media to express their opinions about Chris Martin’s apparent accent change during the occasion. Many were surprised by the sudden change in his voice, with some likening it to “a crap 1970s TV detective.” When Martin referred to Glastonbury as a “city,” some fans were also confused, speculating that perhaps the musician had developed an American accent due to his Malibu residence.
Despite the controversy surrounding Martin’s accent, the star-studded performance was a hit with Coldplay fans globally. A range of guests were invited on stage, including Little Simz, Femi Kuti, Victoria Canal, Laura Mvula, and actor Michael J. Fox. Fox made a surprise appearance during the set, drawing huge reactions on social media. During the performance, Coldplay’s lead singer Chris Martin referred to Glastonbury as the “best city in the world,” an honor that fans have since been debating.
Although critics are skeptical about how many years Coldplay can continue performing at such a high level, the band remains determined to continue. Just a few years ago, Martin revealed that Coldplay would stop making music in 2025, hoping to create 12 definitive albums. Their latest album, “Moon Music,” is set to be released in October. Regardless, their Glastonbury set, which was held in front of an audience of more than 100,000 people, will no doubt go down in history.
As the festival continues, there is sure to be more headline-grabbing performances from artists such as SZA, Shania Twain, Janelle Monae, The National, Two Door Cinema Club, Avril Lavigne, Justice, Nia Archives, James Blake, Alvvays, and Romy, to name a few. From perfect five-star ratings for Fontaines D.C and IDLES, to Camila Cabello scoring three-star rating, and Dua Lipa earning four stars, this year’s festival continues to keep people talking.
