Coldplay have become the first act in history to headline Glastonbury five times – playing a record-breaking set to a huge, sparkling audience for whom it felt like coming home. Thousands in the crowd will no doubt have seen them at least once here before, but no matter - they have their detractors, but you cannot argue with the fact Chris Martin's band can put on a headline performance worthy of Worthy Farm.

Taylor Swift had to be rescued by one of her dancers after a raised platform malfunctioned during a show in Dublin over the weekend. For the performance of her song The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived, the Shake It Off singer and one of her dancers, Jan Ravnik, stand on two separate platforms which rise up out of the stage.
