Glastonbury 2025: How to watch the BBC’s coverage of Neil Young, RAYE, Doechii and Charli XCX

Glastonbury Festival is well underway, with the likes of Neil Young, Olivia Rodrigo, Charli xcx and Kneecap performing across a jam-packed weekend.

The annual music event is spread out over five days and takes place at Worthy Farm in Somerset with over 200,000 people attending. Every year, there is a scramble to get tickets as hundreds and thousands miss out.

However, for those who still want to keep up with the action, the BBC’s live coverage promises to stream every big moment.

Follow live updates from Glastonbury 2025 here.

Fans are able to stream the live event through BBC iPlayer, but they will be spoilt for choice as the network is offering over 90 hours of performances with its live coverage of the five main stages: Pyramid, Other, West Holts, Woodsies and The Park. Pyramid stage sets will be available in Ultra High Definition and British Sign Language.

One set that won’t be livestreamed is Irish hip-hop Kneecap, whose performance will be available to view on iPlayer later on Saturday (28 June), following their set at 4pm on the West Holts stage.

It has now been confirmed that Neil Young’s headline set on Saturday will be livestreamed, after the BBC initially said he had requested that it not be broadcast live. It will be on iPlayer’s Pyramid Stage stream from 10pm, as well as BBC Two and Radio 2.

The Glastonbury Channel will offer reporting from presenters Clara Amfo, Huw Stephens, Jack Saunders, Jamz Supernova, Jo Whiley and Lauren Laverne as they guide viewers through the biggest sets, standout performances, surprises and special guests.

BBC Media recommends the Glastonbury Highlights Channel, adding: “From late evening on Friday 27 June, viewers can catch up with all the biggest, most-talked about performances from this year’s festival, 24 hours a day, until Wednesday 30 July.”

Radio listeners can join in across BBC Radio 6 Music, BBC Radio 1 and 1Xtra, BBC Radio 2, BBC Radio 4 and BBC Sounds.
