This weekend’s performance will be the fifth time Coldplay have played Glastonbury, with many attributing the festival with aiding in their worldwide success.

In 1999 and 2000 the band presented their debut album ‘Parachutes’ before Michael Eavis took a gamble in 2002 by offering the band the Friday night headline slot as they premiered second album ‘A Rush Of Blood To The Head’.

It proved to be a monumental success, catapulting the band to fame and fortune and sparking a relationship between them and the festival, which continued with Coldplay returning in 2005 to headline the Saturday night – which is where they’ll be again this weekend, sandwiched between U2 and Beyonce.

Earlier today, the band posted their new track ‘Major Minus’ online. Go to NME.COM/blogs to read NME‘s review.
