Following British customs, over 200,000 attendees—among them celebrities—traveled to a dairy farm located in Pilton, Somerset, during the weekend for Glastonbury, where the headliners this year were Dua Lipa, Coldplay, and SZA. Get up to speed on this year’s key moments here.
Little Simz made a mark as a potential future headliner
The rapper from London and past British Vogue cover model performed on the Pyramid Stage before the headliners Coldplay (later joining them onstage to unveil a fresh track, “We Pray”), but undoubtedly, it’s merely a matter of time until Simz is headlining herself. With minimal extravagance (no dance routines here), the artist kept the Glastonbury audience captivated throughout her performance. “I need you to recognize that you are witnessing greatness,” she declared on stage. “And I don’t utter that with arrogance; I declare it confidently.” No one is disputing her—least of all the music critics.

What might stand out as the pinnacle of Coldplay’s undeniably grand set on the Pyramid Stage on Saturday evening? A guest appearance by Michael J. Fox, who joined the ensemble to play guitar on “Fix You.” The 63-year-old icon from Back to the Future, who has been confronting Parkinson’s disease for over 30 years, holds a significant role in the band’s inception story, as remarked by frontman Chris Martin, who found inspiration in Fox’s version of “Johnny B Goode” from the iconic 1985 movie. “Thank you immensely, our hero,” Martin expressed on stage. Even the most ardent Coldplay critics couldn’t resist being touched.
