Fans didn't have to wait long to uncover what the mysterious message entailed. Organizers have announced "Live At Worthy Farm," be a global streaming event that on Saturday, May 22nd, 2021. The ticketed event will feature performances from a bevy of superstars, including Coldplay, Gorillaz's Damon Albarn, HAIM, Idles, Jorja Smith, Kano, Michael Kiwanuka, and Wolf Alice, along with more special guests that are to be announced.
