This morning saw Coldplay announced as the first Glastonbury headliner fo 2016. While some are overjoyed at their heroes' return, others are less than pleased.
Today Glasto and the band revealed that Chris Martin and co would be returning to top the bill on the Sunday at the Pyramid Stage. Many are thrilled that the band will be returning for what's set to be an emotional close to the festival, however others are somewhat underwhelmed - the band have headlined three times before after all. Is it a little predictable?
Either way, some fans are pretty chuffed:
Anyone who's annoyed at Coldplay at Glastonbury then I'll have ur ticket xx

If no one else is playing at the time, I'll watch Coldplay and they may change my opinion of them, because yellow is a bit of a tune

Others, are less than pleased...
#Glastonbury instantly becomes 83% less cool as it announces Coldplay as a headliner

Re-create the thrilling sounds of Coldplay by letting a balloon slowly deflate next to a piano whilst a toddler has a fight with a bass drum
