If any band epitomises the big tear-jerking, festival-closing moment it’s Coldplay. And releasing the anthemic Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall ahead of next week’s Glastonbury headlining slot is a canny - if predictable - move. There’s no better audience to push your new material at than 100,000 soppy ravers in a Somerset field, after all.

Coldplay’s shows, though, mirror the tunes: they’re huge. And Chris Martin’s energetic enthusiasm, even when he’s sat at a piano, is contagious. Who could forget this moment at Sydney’s Sound Relief in 2007 when Chris decides to jump security and go for a pleasant sprint through the frantic crowd.
