Glastonbury: How to watch from home if you didn't secure tickets

They are the most sought out tickets of the festival world every year - and 2025 has been no different.

Glastonbury is sold out for yet another year, with Rod Stewart, Charli XCX and Olivia Rodrigo all set to perform to crowds of thousands as the headline acts.

A Glastonbury spokesman said: “The 1975 finally bring their incendiary show back to Worthy Farm to headline the Pyramid Stage on the Friday, while Olivia Rodrigo will close out the Festival on the Sunday night – headlining the Pyramid for her first appearance at Glastonbury since her memorable Other Stage set in 2022.

“As previously announced, Neil Young will headline for the second time after an unforgettable set in 2009, while Rod Stewart will take to the Pyramid Stage in the Sunday legend slot.

“Charli xcx is set for her biggest performance at Glastonbury after taking over the world with her BRAT album and tour, headlining the Other Stage on Saturday night. Loyle Carner will headline Other on the Friday and The Prodigy will close the Festival there on Sunday night with a show that will be their first here since the tragic passing of frontman Keith Flint in 2019.”

But if you are one of the unlucky ones who will not be flocking to Worthy Farm for a weekend of frolics, how can you be involved?

Live

No ticket? No problem. Music lovers will be able to choose between six stages of live music on the BBC Glastonbury website, BBC iPlayer or by pressing the red button on your connected TV throughout the Glastonbury weekend.

The BBC will be bringing the stages directly to your living rooms, with specific channels for each of the Pyramid Stage, Other Stage, West Holts, John Peel Stage, Park Stage and the BBC Music Introducing stage all live

Not sure what one you’re after? Well there will also be a Best of Glastonbury stage on the site too.

Catch up?

Know who you want to catch? The iPlayer will also feature the full sets from more than 90 artists including Biffy Clyro, the 1975 and many more on tap.

That is a whole lot of music to binge on...

Listen in

On the go? Or fancy listing rather than watching.

Well, then radio is your best bet. Listen across the airwaves with Radio 1, 1Xtra, Radio 2, Radio 3 and 6 Music all broadcasting live over the weekend, and will also host exclusive interviews with stars along the way.
