As ever, Glastonbury is the hottest ticket of the summer, with hundreds of artists descending on Worthy Farm to perform across the weekend in front of thousands of adoring fans. Unfortunately, with tickets and even the re-sales selling out within minutes, you had to be extremely quick in order to nab one – so some people were left disappointed.
But fear not. The BBC is giving you a front-row ticket from the comfort of your living room, but coverage is so extensive that you might need some guidance. Here's a primer…

In short, from Friday 28 June to the end of the festival on Sunday night, the BBC will broadcast a selection of sets on BBC1 and BBC2 (the list of which is below), alongside more extensive coverage on iPlayer. The online platform will have streams for each of the five main stages of the festival: The Pyramid, The Other Stage, West Holts, Woodsies and The Park Stage. That alone gives you 90 hours of uninterrupted music throughout the three-day event, with Pyramid Stage sets also being available with British Sign Language.
Furthermore, iPlayer have also launched multiple channels in order to share highlights both for this year and years gone by, with the Glastonbury Hits channel available now, and BBC Radio 2 and BBC Radio 4 will be broadcasting live from the event, plus sharing highlights from the previous day across programmes.
Standout moments will also be available on BBC1 and BBC2 throughout the weekend as well, with The One Show doing a live link up to the event to kick off the weekend at 7pm on Friday.
