Coldplay made history by becoming the first group to headline the Glastonbury concert five times on Saturday.
The British band, led by Chris Martin, performed debuting at the iconic festival at New Bands Tent in 1999, before topping headlines in 2002, 2005, 2011 and 2016.
The group began their historic set ten minutes late, their 2000 hit Yellow, as a sea of festival-goers joined them in singing.
But viewers at home were left frustrated by the delay and took to social media to make their feelings known.
On What’s new?”: “If they’re late, it really is a Coldplay show.”
However, some were frustrated when the group’s set started 15 minutes late at 10pm and took to social media.
Frontman Chris previously predicted the band’s astronomical success a year before they released their first album.
On June 26, 1998, a then-22-year-old musician stood on the field at UCL’s Wye Farming College during their end-of-year dance and declared what the future of Coldplay, then barely a year old, would be. .
He said: ‘Jon Buckland, Chris Martin, Will Champion and Guy Berryman are part of Coldplay. They’re going to be a massive band. This will be on national television in four years. Four years.
