The cat’s out of the bag – Coldplay will headling Glastonbury for the fourth time.
After the criticism they brought on with their Super Bowl half-time performance, their headline slot at Worthy Farm has unsurprisingly been met with a similar reaction.

Some complained the festival had lost its soul
Coldplay, Kanye West…. Modern music is dead #glastonbury is lift music

While others decided their inoffensive music is what Glastonbury has been about for a while now
Coldplay and Glastonbury is a match made in a heaven where the One Show is always on and slippers are annually updated.

It might be time to embrace it, though, and stop lying to ourselves that we hate Chris Martin & co.

Or perhaps ambivalence is the way forward
Coldplay headlining Glasto reminds me of cheese & onion crisps, no-one's going to be angry but equally no-one's going to be excited #Boring

Still, you can always try another festival if you’re not happy
Coldplay confirmed the headline Glastonbury; I made the right decision going to Primavera

Hmmm Coldplay at #Glastonbury or Red Hot Chilli Peppers at #Reading. Think I know which one I'll be heading to
