How To Watch Glastonbury From Home

The UK’s largest music festival is officially back for 2024, with hundreds of thousands of music fans heading to the small Somerset town of Glastonbury for a weekend of food, camping and, of course, incredible performances. If you missed out on tickets – or didn’t fancy paying the premium price – it’s not the end of the road. Here’s how to stream Glastonbury in 2024.

Can You Stream Glastonbury?

Yes, every year BBC iPlayer hosts a live stream of Glastonbury on a dedicated channel. You can find it here or on the BBC iPlayer homepage. It will be available from midday on Friday 28 June until Sunday evening and will feature a continuous stream of live performances, plus some interviews and behind the scenes moments. Think of this as the ‘best bits’ live stream.

If you’re interested in a specific stage, however, the BBC also has you covered: iPlayer will host dedicated live streams from the five main stages:

• Pyramid Stage
• Other Stage
• Park Stage
• West Holts
• Woodsies

The BBC anticipates around 90 hours of coverage will be available to stream.

If you fancy a trip down memory lane, there’s also the non-stop Classic Glastonbury channel, which is live 24 hours a day from now until 30 June. It features back-to-back footage of some of the festival’s most legendary performances.
