Chris Martin has confirmed that Coldplay will not be playing Glastonbury in 2020.
Speaking on Australian radio breakfast show, Nova 96.6 – Fitzy and Wippa, Martin told host Ryan “Fitzy” Fitzgerald confirmed that Coldplay wouldn’t be playing next year’s festival.
Martin said: “We won’t be playing at Glastonbury 50 – although, I’ll probably be there because I love going – it’s like our home…but we won’t be playing.”
When asked about who he would like to see play at Glastonbury, Martin said: “I don’t know. The great thing about Glastonbury is it’s always a bit unpredictable…and that’s a great thing.”
Diana Ross is so far confirmed as the only act, but boss Emily Eavis has spoken of her dream to achieve a 50/50 gender split on the line-up.
