GLASTONBURY FANS COMPLAIN AS COLDPLAY ARE 15 MINUTES LATE TO HEADLINE THE PYRAMID STAGE BEFORE PERFORMING TO 'BIGGEST EVER' CROWD
Glastonbury fans complained Coldplay took to the Pyramid Stage 15 minutes late as they headlined the iconic festival on Saturday night.
The legendary band kicked off their set at 10pm instead of 9:45pm as scheduled as they performed to Worthy Farm's 'biggest ever' crowd.
BBC viewers were left frustrated by the delay and took to X - formerly known as Twitter - to share their thoughts.
'You're running late lads. Put a shift in!'; 'Always late but worth the wait'; '10 mins late FFS classic Coldplay'
'Coldplay late what's new'; It really is a Coldplay show if they are late'.
The group opened their historic set with 2000 hit Yellow as the sea of festival goers joined in singing.
Chris oozed confidence as he strutted about on stage alongside fellow band members Guy Berryman, Jonny Buckland, Will Champion, and performed some of the group's most famous hits.
The show was watched by a whopping crowd of 100,000 plus including Hollywood stars Tom Cruise, 61, Simon Pegg, 54, and Gillian Anderson, 55.
Viewers at home were left stunned by the huge audience and branded it the festival's 'biggest ever'.
Taking to X they said: 'Biggest crowd I’ve ever seen at glasto! Amazing'; 'What an insane crowd for Coldplay at Glastonbury'
'COLDPLAY not too shabby at all @GLASTONBURY humongous crowd'; 'Wow! Look at that #Glasto crowd for #Coldplay'
'How awesome does that crowd look at Glastonbury here? Coldplay. Amazing'.
The British band made history during the night as they became the first group ever to headline Glastonbury five times.
They sent the crowd wild during their set as they introduced Michael J.Fox on stage as their special guest.
Coldplay, fronted by Chris Martin, 47, made their debut at the iconic festival in the New Bands Tent in 1999, before headlining in 2002, 2005, 2011, and 2016.
The Back To The Future actor, 63, who is battling Parkinson's, appeared on stage in his wheelchair as he played the guitar.
After the camera searched the crowd, the frontman serenaded Glastonbury founder Michael Eavis, before the beloved Hollywood actor was revealed to the audience.
Chris sung: 'Here is another legendary Michael, one who just totally rocks, with his chuck Berry quiff and the way he punched [Back To The Future villain] Biff, ladies and Gentleman please welcome Michael J.Fox'.
The actor, who is an avid musician, was first diagnosed with early-onset Parkinson's at just 30 years of age in 1991, before revealing the news publicly in 1998.
Two years after going public with his diagnosis, Fox created The Michael J. Fox Foundation in 2000.
Since then, the foundation - which he founded with his wife of 36 years, Tracy Pollan - has raised over $2 billion for Parkinson's research.
Viewers were left in 'tears' following his surprise appearance as he joined the group in a rendition of their hit Fix You.
Headlining this year's festival are Coldplay on Saturday night, SZA on Sunday night, and Dua Lipa who performed on Friday night.
Shania Twain, 58, will play on Sunday in the late afternoon, and she opened up about how she is preparing.
