Coldplay concert footage showed the Astronomer CEO hugging Kristin Cabot, his company's chief people officer, from behind on Wednesday at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts. Astronomer is a private data infrastructure startup that achieved "unicorn" status in 2022 with a $1 billion or more valuation.

Astronomer has addressed the Coldplay concert scandal involving CEO Andy Byron and HR chief Kristin Cabot. The company confirmed a formal investigation. Both Byron and Cabot have been placed on leave as discussions about Byron's resignation continue.

Kristin was seen in an unexpected Jumbotron moment at a Coldplay concert in the arms of her boss, Astronomer CEO Andy Byron, in July 2025.
