Coldplay will make history as the first act to lead the bill five times, after previously headlining Glastonbury in 2002, 2005, 2011, and 2016. Their performance at this festival will be a part of their Music of the Spheres World Tour, which kicked off in early 2022 and went on to become the third-highest-grossing tour of all time.

As for Dua Lipa, her Glastonbury headlining spot was announced just a day after she officially teased the release of her third studio album Radical Optimism. It will hit the shelves on May 3, and she promoted its release with singles “Houdini” and “Training Season”.

SZA filled the third headlining spot, making this year’s Glastonbury the first one ever to have two female headliners. She made quite a splash with her sophomore studio album SOS, and she’s planning to release its long-awaited reissue Lana later this year.

The 2024 Glastonbury Festival will take place at Worthy Farm in Pilton, Somerset between June 26-30, and you can check out the full lineup below:

“Yellow” was originally released as the second single from Coldplay’s debut album Parachutes in 2000. It became the band’s breakout hit and helped thrust them into popularity, despite only peaking at No. 48 in the US and reaching No. 4 in the UK.

“Yellow” is the British band’s fifth song to reach one billion views on YouTube, following in the footsteps of “Paradise”, “Adventure of a Lifetime”, “The Scientist”, and “Hymn for the Weekend” ft. Beyoncé.

The song’s minimalistic music video remains as iconic as the song itself and features one continuous shot with no cuts. It shows the band’s frontman Chris Martin singing the song while walking along the beach in slow motion.

The legacy of this song has been cemented by its frequent usage in popular culture, in addition to countless covers and samples, including Lizzo’s “Coldplay” from her album Special.

“Yellow” remains one of Coldplay’s signature hits and it made it to multiple lists of the best songs of the 21st century, including Rock and Roll Hall of Fame’s list of “Songs That Shaped Rock and Roll”.

Chris Martin and his bandmates were simultaneously performing in Gothenburg, Sweden, while John’s final Farewell Tour show was happening at Stockholm’s Tele2Arena. They took a moment to tune in via a video broadcast, which was beamed out at the musicians’ respective concerts in Sweden after Coldplay delivered an emotional cover of John’s all-time classic “Rocketman”.

Martin addressed John directly in the touching video and reflected on many amazing things he has done over the years.

“Elton, from all of us here, from all the bands and all the artists that you’ve loved and inspired and helped, we just love you so much. We are so grateful for everything you’ve done for us, everything you’ve done for the AIDS Foundation. Every time you’ve been kind to anybody,” said Martin.

John’s Farewell Yellow Brick Road came to a close in Stockholm on July 8, after five years and 333 shows. It made history as the highest-grossing tour of all time and the first one to ever cross the $900 million mark.

With this music video, Coldplay wanted to pay homage to the “best fans in the world” and put their experience front and center. The intimate visual shows them performing in front of a massive crowd of nearly 260,000 fans and making this experience a part of the “Humankind” music video makes total sense since they couldn’t wait to perform it live.

“Humankind was probably the hardest song to record on the album, just because we couldn’t quite get the feel of it right until the end of the sessions. And then suddenly it all clicked into place and now we’re really excited to play it live,” wrote Jonny Buckland on Twitter.

“Humankind” is one of the songs featured on Coldplay’s latest album Music of the Spheres, which was released in October last year. BTS collaboration “My Universe” debuted atop the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the US, transforming Coldplay into the first British band in history to achieve that feat. This album also produced hit singles “Higher Power” and “Let Somebody Go”.

“Thank you @Coldplay for writing such a beautiful song,” Smith wrote along with a clip of him singing the song on Instagram.

“I love this song, and as soon as I heard it I was just reminded again of how much of a classic it is,” Smith said of the cover before they performed it.

During the coronavirus, Smith said they’ve “fallen in love with singing again,” and that they loving singing songs that aren’t their own.

Back in May, Smith released a collab with Demi Lovato, “I’m Ready,” and announced in March that their third album, To Die For, would be pushed back from its original May 1 release date. This album’s release date hasn’t been rescheduled, but Smith said it should debut later this year.

Coldplay, who were joined by For Love Choir, opened the set with “Cry Cry Cry,” before turning back the clock and performing2008’s hit single “Viva La Vida.” Then, following another new song, “Broken,” Chris Martin and co. decided to treat the radio’s listeners with a cover of Prince’s “1999.” The set wrapped up with “Champion of the World.”

Coldplay released Everyday Life in November 2019, putting an end to a four-year studio break. The album was well-received and topped the charts in more than 10 countries, including the UK. It wasn’t as successful in the U.S., however, peaking at No.7 on US Billboard 200.

Although the group was expected to follow up the release with a world tour, they opted not to go on the road “until they had addressed concerns regarding travel and the environmental impact of the shows.”

The Cloé Bailly-directed video sees the band’s frontman Chris Martin taking on the role of a shy schoolboy, who’s facing many hardships. He’s bullied by both his parents and peers, but he finds an escape from it all through music and imagination.

Members of Coldplay credited the late Frightened Rabbit frontman, Scott Hutchinson, as one of the co-writers of this song. Martin explained they wanted to pay homage to the Scottish singer because his solo track “Los Angeles, Be Kind” served as a major inspiration for this single.

“When I first heard [‘Los Angeles, Be Kind’], I thought it was going to go one way; but it went another. Anyway, ‘Champion of the World’ is the song that came from following the other path, and that’s why Scott is a co-writer on this song,” explained Martin.

The series of all-star performances will take place at the Hollywood Palladium, five days leading up to the Grammy Awards, starting on January 21st. In addition to Jonas Brothers and Coldplay, Brittany Howard and Brandi Carlile are also expected to perform at this event.

The Citi Sound Vault performance is especially important to Jonas Brothers, who pulled off the most amazing comeback of 2019 and haven’t performed at this venue since they parted ways a decade ago.

“We are so excited to be partnering with Citi and playing at the Palladium after 10 years. This has been one of the most incredible years for us, and being part of this series is such a great culmination of it all,” said the trio in a statement.
