At the end of June, Coldplay electrified Glastonbury by bringing Palestinian-Chilean singer Elyanna on stage. The performance marked Coldplay’s record-breaking fifth headline show at the festival, and the group used the opportunity to deliver a powerful message. Elyanna joined Coldplay on stage for an impressive set, bringing her unique style that blends Arabic music with Latin beats.
She teamed up with Femi Kuti for Coldplay’s 2019 hit “Arabesque” and joined in on the band’s new track “We Pray”, which also featured Little Simz and Burna Boy. {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"ImageObject","caption":"Elyanna, a 22-year-old singer, joined Coldplay onstage during Glastonbury.
