Glastonbury 2024 faced significant overcrowding issues, particularly at smaller stages, leading to the closure of some areas due to safety concerns. Highlight performances included Michael J. Fox's surprise appearance with Coldplay, where he joined them for 'Fix You' and 'Humankind,' with Chris Martin crediting Fox and 'Back to the Future' for inspiring the band’s formation. This marked Coldplay's record-breaking fifth headlining at Glastonbury. The festival also featured performances from acts like Dua Lipa and Charlie XCX, with Tom Cruise spotted enjoying Coldplay from a VIP area. Despite the logistical challenges, the event showcased a diverse lineup and memorable moments.
