How to watch free Glastonbury 2025 live stream from anywhere
The 2025 Glastonbury Festival of Contemporary Performing Arts is nearly upon us, with over 3,000 performances set to take place at the famous Worthy Farm over four days. Luckily, you don't have to battle past 200,000 other revellers to get the best seats in the house — we have all the information on how to watch Glastonbury live streams, with TV channels, free options, and worldwide streaming all explained.
As ever, the Glastonbury line-up represents a massive and diverse array of artists, with all genres represented across the multitude of stages and tents. There always have to be some headliners, however, and at the top of this year's bill are indie stalwarts The 1975, grizzled folky Neil Young, pop princess Olivia Rodrigo, and, in the traditional Sunday legends slot, the one and only Rod Stewart.
Outside of those huge acts, there's a veritable who's who of music masters of today and years gone by. Alanis Morissette is celebrating 30 years of her seminal 'Jagged Little Pill' album with her Glasto debut on the Pyramid Stage, Charli XCX is following up her breakout Brat Summer by headlining the Other Stage, and The Prodigy will close out Sunday night with an inevitably emotional performance — their first at the festival since the death of Keith Flint.
Busta Rhymes, Doechii, Ezra Collective, Noah Kahan, Wet Leg, The Libertines… the list goes on! Once again, the UK's free-to-air broadcaster, the BBC, will have extensive coverage of the event. Below we detail its plans, where you can watch Glastonbury live streams online, and what you need to do if you're outside the UK and still want to enjoy the show.
How to watch Glastonbury in the UK
The BBC is presenting music fans with more than 90 hours of performances across the five main Glastonbury stages: Pyramid, Other, West Holts, Woodsies, and The Park (see the full schedule of those stages at the bottom of this article).
In order to pick and choose the acts you want to see, you'll need access to its free online BBC iPlayer streaming platform, which is available on laptops, smartphones and most other streaming devices you can think of — although you should have a valid TV Licence to stream performances live and on catchup). Pyramid Stage sets will be available to stream live in Ultra HD.
In previous years, some Glastonbury performances have also been available to stream globally on the BBC website, but we've seen nothing from the broadcaster to say whether that will be the case in 2025.
How to watch Glastonbury from anywhere
Frustratingly, if you try to watch the BBC iPlayer when outside the UK, the platform will simply refuse to function. In order to watch the Glastonbury Festival coverage when overseas, you'll need a VPN (Virtual Private Network), which can spoof the IP address of your laptop, smartphone, or streaming device so that it looks like you're back in the UK.
Of all the VPNs we've tested, NordVPN is our current headliner! You can see all the reasons why in our NordVPN review, with its speed, ease-of-use, and watertight cybersecurity among its plus points. We like that it offers a 30-day money-back guarantee, which allows you to cancel within the first month without any quibbles from the company.
How to watch Glastonbury with a VPN
Sign up for a VPN if you don't already have one.
Install it on the device you're using to watch the show.
Turn it on and set it to the UK.
Navigate to the BBC iPlayer and create an account if necessary.
Enjoy the music.
Where is Glastonbury Festival located?
Glastonbury Festival is located in the small rural village of Pilton, near the town of Glastonbury, Somerset, in England. That's around 130 miles southwest of London. It's set on a number of farms in the Pilton area — primarily Worthy Farm, which belongs to festival organizer Michael Eavis.
How much were tickets to Glastonbury 2025?
General admission tickets to this year's Glastonbury Festival cost £373.50, which is around $500. That's compared to a price of £125 in 2005, 20 years ago. The ticket price includes the cost of car parking and camping.
Are Oasis playing at Glastonbury 2025?
No, the Gallagher brothers have stated that they do not intend to appear at Glastonbury Festival this year.
Oasis is set to embark on its massive reunion tour in July of this year (don't miss our Oasis tickets guide), which prompted some fans to speculate that the band may also play at Glastonbury Festival for the first time since 2004. That was only fuelled by the fact that there are several high-profile slots in the line-up that are still TBA. The current favorites to fill those secret sets are Pulp, Lewis Capaldi, Haim, and Lorde.
Why is there no Glastonbury in 2026?
2026 will be a so-called 'fallow year' at Worthy Farm, meaning that no Glastonbury Festival will take place. Fallow years take place every five years or so in order to give the rural land time to recover. The last official fallow year was in 2018, although Glastonbury was canceled in 2020 and 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Glastonbury fans declare the 'best thing to happen' as they 'work out' identity of secret performer
Glastonbury Festival fans and attendees believe they've figured the identity of one of the enigmatic 'TBA' (to be announced) slots that's due to take place at the event today (Friday, June 27). While many people have been trying to unravel the mystery surrounding the act known as Patchwork appearing on the Pyramid Stage on Saturday night (June 28), speculation has continued over the elusive 'TBA' act. Many eagle-eyed fans noticed a short gap on the Pyramid Stage on Friday, lasting just 35 minutes between 4.55pm and 5.30pm. Rumours circulated about the likes of Radiohead, Ed Sheeran, Lorde and Lewis Capaldi were all thrown into the mix. However it appears that to be all but confirmed that the TBA slot will be none other than the Glasgow-based singer, Lewis Capaldi. Posts appeared on social media earlier this week of two billboards, one in Somerset and one in Lewis' hometown of Glasgow, with mysterious lyrics and a phone number. READ MORE: Steps star shares reason why the hit pop group rejected iconic Glastonbury gig READ MORE: First-ever musical act broadcast at Glastonbury Festival recalls 'amazing experience' A post shared by @thearchbishopofbanterbury from a user called John read: 'Two mysterious billboards have popped up overnight, one at the site of Glastonbury festival and one in Glasgow.' The billboards read, 'I've had my share of Monday mornings when I can't get up,' and 'I refuse to spend my best year rotting in the sun'. To add more fuel to the fire, Lewis launched his return to the music scene, releasing a sneak peak of his new song 'Survive' at midnight on Friday. In an Instagram post, the singer wrote: 'It's been a while…' View this post on Instagram A post shared by The Archbishop of Banterbury(@thearchbishopofbanterbury) Fan account Secret Glasto appeared to validate the rumours, encouraging fans to watch Lewis' return. The account wrote: 'Already widely known, but Lewis Capaldi will be playing the TBA on he Pyramid stage between 1655–1730. He's had a tough few years so go give him some Glastonbury love.' Glastonbury fans shared some love for the singer, with Dave writing on X (formerly known as Twitter): 'Good to see lewis capaldi back, was in the crowd last time at glastonbury and could see how much he was struggling. Hope he smashes it today back there.' Coral agreed: 'The best thing that can happen today is for Lewis Capaldi to make a comeback on Glastonbury pyramid stage. The love he will feel will be another level, his new song today…' Lewis last appeared at Glastonbury in 2023, where he was seen struggling to continue singing due to the impact of his Tourette's. The crowd continued to sing his songs back to him. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Lewis Capaldi (@lewiscapaldi) Later on the singer addressed his performance, announcing a break from touring for the foreseeable future. In an Instagram post, he wrote: 'Hello everyone. First of all, thank you to Glastonbury for having me, for singing along when I needed it and for all the amazing messages afterwards. It really does mean the world. 'The fact that this probably won't come as a surprise doesn't make it any easier to write, but I'm very sorry to let you know I'm going to be taking a break from touring for the foreseeable future. 'I used to be able to enjoy every second of shows like this and I'd hoped 3 weeks away would sort me out. But the truth is I'm still learning to adjust to the impact of my Tourette's and on Saturday it became obvious that I need to spend much more time getting my mental and physical health in order, so I can keep doing everything I love for a long time to come. 'I know I'm incredibly fortunate to be able to take some time out when others can't and I'd like to thank my amazing family, friends, team, medical professionals and all of your who've been so supportive every step of the way through the good times and even more so during this past year when I've needed it more than ever. 'I'm so incredibly sorry to everyone who had planned to come to a shower before the end of the year but I need to feel well to perform at the standard you all deserve. Playing for you every night is all I've ever dreamed of so this has been the most difficult decision of my life. I'll be back as soon as I possibly can. 'All my love, always, Lewis.' Lorde has also appeared to self-confirm her appearance on the Woodsies stage at 11.30pm on Friday. She shared a snapshot of the iconic tent to her Instagram story followed by the message, '11.30am BST'. For information about how to watch Glastonbury from the comfort of your own home, read here.

Catherine Hardwicke Praises Heath Ledger, Talks ‘Twilight' at Mediterrane Film Festival Masterclass
Steps away from set pieces featured in the Gladiator franchise inside Malta's historic Fort Ricasoli, veteran filmmaker Catherine Hardwicke delivered an epic two-hour-plus masterclass fitting of its backdrop during the Mediterrane Film Festival on Wednesday morning. Hardwicke, who is also currently serving on the island fest's jury, covered nearly all aspects of the craft for the 'Fix It in Prep' session which was moderated by The Hollywood Reporter. She recalled how she made so many of the films on her resume like the gritty drama Thirteen, the skateboarding pic Lords of Dogtown, the beloved teen vampire classic Twilight, the friendship tearjerker Miss You Already, the genre series Guillermo del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities and more. More from The Hollywood Reporter BBC Introduces News Paywall for U.S. Users Disney+ Sets July Premiere for Korean Treasure-Hunt Drama 'Low Life' 'Tehran Another View' Features Paintball, Carwalking, and a DJ Dressed up as the Joker (Karlovy Vary Trailer) Twilight lore figured prominently in the discussion, much of which has been documented in anniversary interviews and earlier versions of Hardwicke's presentation, including how star Robert Pattinson hand picked her line 'Hold on tight, spider monkey.' She revealed one unique wardrobe choice for Pattinson's fellow franchise star Kristen Stewart who passed on a selection of shirts presented to her for a kissing scene for Bella and Edward. 'We had 10 different T-shirts for her,' Hardwicke recalled. 'She didn't like any of them. When we were shooting, she goes, 'I like your T-shirt.' I'm, like, 'OK,' [and I gave her my shirt] and I got a different T-shirt. That's what she wears in the movie, the T-shirt I had.' She added that Bella started in the film wearing 'more Eart tones' but by the end of Twilight, as her character has grown closer to Edward and the Cullen family, 'she's dressing like the Cullens' with a blue jacket and more vampire-approved color ways. Hardwicke, who launched the successful franchise based on the best-selling book series, also recalled how she came to direct the first film in the series. 'They gave me the script and said, 'Are you interested in directing any of these?'' she said, noting that it was in development at the time at Summit Entertainment. 'At the time, every studio in Los Angeles turned down Twilight and it was in turnaround. Nobody thought it would make one penny [because it was a young female lead. I read the script and thought it was terrible. I went and read the book and I saw there were a lot of fans that were passionate about it. So I said, 'I want to take a meeting.'' Once she arrived for a meeting with the development team at Summit, Hardwicke claims she offered a bold reaction to the material. 'I took the script and said, 'This goes in a trashcan but we're going to make it closer to the book and what matters in the book. Here are some ideas.' They said, 'OK, we agree with you. We'll hire you.'' The rest is history. Speaking of the past, Hardwicke also recalled how she boarded 2005's Lords of Dogtown starring Heath Ledger, Emile Hirsche and Victor Raskuk about the origins of skateboarding culture in Venice, Calif., in the 1970s. 'David Fincher was supposed to be directing it and he wanted to make it for $75 million,' Hardwicke said of the respected filmmaker who eventually fell out over budgetary and creative issues with executives at Columbia Pictures where it was in development. Hardwicke, coming off the critical success of Thirteen, figured she could find 'a trickier way or cheaper way' to make the film about a sport she was super passionate about. 'Amy Pascal was the studio head at the time, and she liked skateboarding and grew up in L.A.,' she noted of the high-profile Hollywood executive-turned-producer with whom she took a meeting. 'I walked into the first meeting. I was dressed in my Dogtown t-shirt, I lived in Venice and I had Dogtown swag all over, I had a whole plan for shooting the movie and I had skateboards with me. [Amy] had seen Thirteen and she really liked it. I pitched how to do it for a better budget, and I don't know how but I got the job.' Hardwicke said at several points during the presentation that as a director, she always likes to be where the action is rather than away from the actors sitting in video village. One such anecdote she shared is how during filming one of the surfing scenes in Lords of Dogtown, star Ledger complained that the water was too cold. 'We had been working all day for six hours in the morning, and then after lunch he and the older guys came up and I heard [Heath] say, 'Fuck this, man, it's too cold, I'm not doing this.' At that moment, I swam over to him and he didn't know it was me. I go, 'Hey, Heath, what's up man. I've been in here all morning, it's awesome isn't it?' And he's, like, if she's in here, I can't complain. Let's shoot. Sometimes as a director, you have to do more radical things like you're asking your actors to do. You can't say I want you to do it if you're not doing it yourself. That's my philosophy.' Hardwicke played a scene from the film that featured Ledger, playing the character Skip Englbom, who was based on a real person, as he is shaping a surfboard while singing along to Rod Stewart's 'Maggie May.' She praised Ledger's effortless authenticity and how he was intent on using that track despite its high price tag. 'Look at all his movies, Heath really works with his body. He has a different body posture in every movie and different vocal qualities,' explained the filmmaker. 'Heath wanted the song, 'Maggie May,' and we could not afford the song because they wanted a zillion dollars. On the day, I had [two songs ready] including the one we had permission for and we could afford. At the end, he goes, 'I fucking hate that song, we need to do 'Maggie May.' I had a take of the other one in the can so I wouldn't get fired from my first studio movie, and then we did 'Maggie May' and of course you see it's integral to the scene. He moves with it, and then we went back and got permission.' Near the end of the presentation, Hardwicke also teased her latest film, the indie homeless drama Street Smart starring Isabelle Furhman, Yara Shahidi, Michael Cimino, Daniel Zovatto and Skeet Ulrich. The night before she left for Malta, Hardwicke said she finished working on the music for the film, which is set in Venice and follows a group of unhoused as they navigate the streets with their big dreams. Scenes from the film were shoot in her Venice home, which doubled as the film's production office for the quick 20-day shoot. '[The characters] are all based on real people, and we had one real person [who acts in the film] who really was in the foster care system,' she said of the first time actor who is one of the leads. 'We found housing for him the week before we started shooting with Covenant House, which is a beautiful global organization for kids that have aged out of the foster care system. He got his first apartment and he starred in his first movie.'

The 'rascal' and the radical: How Michael and Emily Eavis have shaped Glastonbury
👉 Listen to Sky News Daily on your podcast app 👈 Around 200,000 music fans have descended on Worthy Farm in Somerset for this year's Glastonbury Festival. Days before this year's event began, its owner Michael Eavis announced he was transferring most of his financial stake in Glastonbury to his daughter Emily Eavis. So, who is the new owner of Glastonbury? Host Niall Paterson is joined by Sky's arts and entertainment editor Claire Gregory as they look back at the unlikely transformation of Michael Eavis, from dairy farmer to festival mastermind, and ask how Emily Eavis may shape Glastonbury's future.
