Chris Martin and Coldplay make their long-awaited return to Glastonbury this weekend as the group is set to headline the Pyramid Stage on Saturday (June 29 2024.)

The multi-Grammy award-winning act has performed at Glastonbury five times, having last performed at Worthy Farm as the headliners in 2016. It’s a performance that the band never take lightly, with Martin once suggesting the gruelling nature of preparing for the hallowed Pyramid Stage.

To quote the man himself:: "Have you ever seen Rocky IV? We went to Russia and got a log cabin, just chopped wood."

The group are taking time away from their “Music of the Spheres” world tour, which started back in 2022, to perform what could be a greatest hits set, despite Shania Twain taking the “Legends” billing on Sunday (June 30 2024). 

The group are set to head back to Europe after their performance with shows including the Olympiastadion in Munich, the Stadio Olimpico in Rome, a series of dates at Croke Park in Dublin before heading to the Southern Hemisphere with dates in Australia and New Zealand. 

But will the weather provide fans with a chance to “look at the stars” and “look how they shine for you” during Coldplay’s headline set, or will it be as damp as Chris Martin in the music video for “Yellow?”

Here are the stage times, weather forecast for Coldplay and Saturday at Worthy Farm, and a look at what the band have been playing on tour and what they could be performing on the Pyramid Stage. 

What time are Coldplay expected to be on stage at Glastonbury 2024?

Coldplay are scheduled to be on the Pyramid Stage at 10pm on June 29 2024, with their set expected to last until around midnight.

What is the weather forecast for Coldplay’s performance at Glastonbury 2024?

No rain at present has been forecast, however, the Met Office has advised those attending the Coldplay set to prepare for the cloudy day to continue into the night. That pesky pollen count though is set to be “very high” throughout the day so plan to bring some hayfever tablets with you. 

By the time Coldplay takes to the stage, the temperature will be 15°C, feeling more like 14°C, but with a humidity level of 83%, and the number of people packed in front of the Pyramid Stage, remember to take your water bottle with you and keep hydrated.
