Surprise Collaborations at Glastonbury 2024: Dua Lipa and Tame Impala, Coldplay and Michael J. Fox

Glastonbury Festival 2024 was a star-studded event, with surprise appearances and collaborations making headlines. Two such moments involved music legends Dua Lipa and Michael J. Fox joining popular acts Tame Impala and Coldplay on stage respectively.

Firstly, at Dua Lipa's set on June 28, Tame Impala's Kevin Parker made a surprise appearance to perform two tracks with the pop sensation. The collaboration saw them perform 'The Less I Know the Better' and 'Houdini'. Lipa and Parker have a long-standing relationship, with Parker co-writing seven songs on Lipa's latest album 'Radical Optimism', including hits like 'Training Season' and 'Illusion'.

Moving on to Coldplay's headlining performance on June 29, Michael J. Fox made a surprise appearance to join the band on guitar for two songs, 'Humankind' and 'Fix You'. Chris Martin introduced Fox by singing an intro referencing Back to the Future and Marty McFly's iconic performance of Johnny B. Goode.

Fox, who has been battling Parkinson's disease since 1991, performed from a wheelchair during the set. The collaboration was a heartwarming moment for fans and showcased the power of music to bring people together despite challenges.

Both Dua Lipa and Coldplay had impressive sets, with Lipa performing hits like 'Levitating', 'Don't Start Now', and 'Heartbreaker'. Coldplay, on the other hand, played a slew of their biggest hits like 'Yellow', 'The Scientist', and 'Viva La Vida' with a live orchestra. They also asked the crowd to hold their hands up and send love to various conflict-stricken regions during their set.

Coldplay has now been granted top billing at Glastonbury five times, making them the first act to do so. Their 10th album, 'Moon Music', is set to release on October 4th. Max Martin produced Coldplay's 'Moon Music'. The band is currently touring 'Music of the Spheres' and has made efforts to reduce their carbon footprint, producing 59% less CO2e emissions than their previous stadium tour.

Glastonbury Festival continues to be a platform for groundbreaking collaborations and memorable performances. Stay tuned for more updates.
