Pete DeJoy stepped into the role of interim CEO after Andy Byron resigned following the circulation of the viral moment at a Coldplay concert last week.

Astronomer's new CEO is speaking out about the Coldplay concert kiss cam controversy, admitting the viral video has raised brand awareness for the tech firm.

In July 2025, following a viral incident at a Coldplay concert involving Andy Byron, then the CEO of tech company Astronomer ( archived ), an alleged video statement made by his wife, Megan Kerrigan Byron, began circulating widely on social media.

The 'Kiss Cam' incident at a Coldplay concert has led to the resignation of Astronomer CEO Andy Byron, but Chief People Officer Kristin Cabot remains on leave, prompting questions about the disparity in their consequences.

When the KissCam at a Coldplay concert last week landed on a couple who suspiciously escaped their embrace and tried (but failed) to duck out of the spotlight, the internet immediately got to work.

Julie Bowen has seen all those comparisons between the viral Coldplay concert kiss cam and Gloria and Phil's hilarious scene from "Modern Family." The Emmy winner chatted with Access Hollywood's guest correspondent Emily Orozco at the "Happy Gilmore 2" premiere and joked the hit sitcom was "ahead of its time" for that scene.

In one clip captured by Josie Cook, a couple recreated Andy and Kristin's shocked expressions as the camera landed on them while enjoying a football game at America First Field in Utah.
