Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and the firm’s chief human resources officer, Kristin Cabot were caught on camera at Coldplay.
The Downings Bay Hotel has reassured festival-goers will not be faced with a "kiss cam".
A “kiss cam” moment at a Coldplay concert made the news this week when it apparently exposed a tech tycoon and his head-of-HR mistress, as the band’s frontman, Chris Martin, mused that they must be “having an affair.”
The couple were later identified as Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and the firm’s chief human resources officer, Kristin Cabot, who scrambled to hide their faces at the Gillette Stadium near Boston on Wednesday night as the video went viral.
In Downings, though, it was joked there won't be a repeat, with the festival getting underway in two weeks' time.

"Public Service Announcement," Downings Bay Hotel posted. "Now that the Downings Festival is official (August 1–4), just a quick note: We’ve asked all bands not to take any videos this summer - purely to protect the ones shifting someone they shouldn’t & dancing like it’s 2007.
"Here at the Downings Bay, we believe in craic, not camera angles. So rest easy — the only things getting caught this summer are feelings (and maybe a stray flip-flop). No cameras. No evidence. No comment."
