They are a bit like U2, they have some great songs, they keep a helluva lot of people in jobs, they help pump money into the industry... and .. some people don't like them? Oh boo hoo.
Both Bono and Martin could do with being a bit less mouthy at times - but they cannot be blamed for thinking people want to hear what they have to say when they get microphones shoved in their faces wherever they go.
Both are still outstanding live and studio bands.
Coldplay imo have done one bad breakup album but other than that have been consistently excellent and always outstanding live.
The Irony of course is that of the four headliners, only Shania has a greatest hits.
Spotify is fucking brilliant.
For young people, it levels music off - so they put together playlists mixing new stuff of all kinds with classics that their parents like, or just songs they heard and liked.
It's a wonderful way to look at and experience music.
I'm not saying the old "buy an album, read the notes, put the needle on, leave your door open because people are decent, fish and chips in real newspaper..." way of consuming music isn't wonderful as well BTW.
I just have room in my life for both, and no room for criticising young people for having broad tastes in music and listening to it on the devices they happen to already own...
(Caveat: I have very little interest in Glasto anyway. They've never had a lineup which has made me want to attend.)
Also other stage has some fantastic rock acts on.
That new all-girl indie rock band are there... forget their name
I didn't know the name SEVENTEEN but they will be the first K pop act at the festival. That's interesting.
It's totally cool if people don't like any band - nobody is obliged to LIKE anything - it's the constant moaning about Coldplay that grates.
Especially given it's their very inoffensiveness that people seem to find offensive - which is a bit odd, it's like wanting to beat up Gandhi for not wanting a fight.
