Chris Martin Plays Surprise Hits Set With Ed Sheeran at 2024 Global Citizen Festival


Coldplay singer Chris Martin and Ed Sheeran played a surprise 4-song mini-set of greatest hits at Saturday's 2024 Global Citizen Festival in New York.

Chris Martin of Coldplay performs onstage at the 2024 iHeartRadio Music Festival at T-Mobile Arena on Sept. 21, 2024 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Over the weekend, the Coldplay singer was slated to once again curate the New York festival, but the rain-soaked fans who turned up to see headliners Post Malone, Jelly Roll and Rauw Alejandro got way more than they expected at the event aimed at encouraging world leaders to end extreme poverty. While Martin was scheduled to speak at the event in his role as curator, Sheeran was not an announced performer and the crowd cheered them on enthusiastically as the two men shared a wam hug before walking off the stage.
