Glastonbury - BBC have it covered

Haven't got a ticket for Glastonbury? Here's how you can experience it without getting your feet muddy

If you’ve missed out on a ticket to this year’s Glastonbury festival, the Beeb have you covered.

Once again, BBC Music will be presenting a programming feast, delivering extensive coverage for audiences tuning in via radio, online and TV with even more to see via BBC Red Button.

Coverage will include live-streams from six key music stages including the BBC Music Introducing stage (which supports unsigned and under-the-radar musicians), reflecting the wealth and breadth of acts at the festival – from the biggest headliners to some of the newest talent on the music scene.

Who’ll be presenting it?

The BBC’s coverage will be fronted by big names including Chris Evans, Jo Whiley, Dermot O’Leary, Lauren Laverne, Steve Lamacq, Cerys Matthews, Trevor Nelson, Mark Radcliffe, Huw Stephens, Gemma Cairney, Greg James, Annie Mac, Yasser, Clara Amfo, Alice Levine, DJ Target and Martin Dougan as well as others still to be confirmed.

What if you’re on the move?

The new BBC Music app will give users access to more Glastonbury than ever before.

The free app, which launched earlier this year, will be packed with exclusive full sets and tracks from across the weekend, allowing audiences to get up close and personal with the music that they love.

TV Coverage

This year marks the 20th year of BBC Television coverage of the festival, which began in 1997.

Over 25 hours of TV coverage will be spread across BBC One (The One Show), BBC Two and BBC Four.

The One Show kicks off the BBC TV coverage of the festival with a 30-minute show fronted by Alex Jones and Greg James. They’ll be joined by a number of special guests on the famous sofa.

BBC Two will once again be the home of the Pyramid Stage headliners with Muse, Adele and Coldplay’s sets being broadcast in their entirety along with that of the Sunday teatime legend, Jeff Lynne’s ELO. The channel will also show highlights from the artists playing on a variety of stages on Friday evening, Saturday afternoon and late night on Saturday and Sunday.
