“The hunger to get there was huge. I think our first introduction was probably carrying a not-so-good amplifier with a drunk tour manager who clearly didn’t know what he was doing,” Martin was quoted as saying by NME.
Martin recalls feeling immersed while at Glastonbury before going on to detail how the accident happened.
“We kind of did a quick tour of the whole place and then started where you should start, which is in the New Band Tent, first. I don’t think I thought about the bigger space, how wild it is. It was like we were here and we came in late and it was awesome,” the Grammy-winning singer said.
25 years after their first performance, Coldplay will perform their fifth show at the Glastonbury Festival on June 29, 2024. Their performance will be streamed live on the BBC website from 4:45 to 6:45 p.m. ET.
Since their debut more than two decades ago, Coldplay has garnered a cult following, including veteran artists.
