BBC won't televise massive Glastonbury set and gives four-word explanation
Glastonbury is once again taking over BBC airwaves as millions tune in to see performances from a star-studded lineup including Raye, Rod Stewart, Franz Ferdinand, and Olivia Rodrigo. Yet, one legendary act's set will be absent from the BBC's broadcast. During Wednesday's (June 25) instalment of BBC Breakfast, correspondent Colin Paterson reported live from the festival, which was welcoming campers in anticipation of the weekend's events. He informed viewers: "One other issue that has emerged over the last 24 hours is the BBC put out the timings for their TV coverage. One thing that really stood out was Saturday night. "The headliner on Saturday night is Neil Young, he's playing the Pyramid stage. But, BBC One are going to be showing Charlie XCX's set from the other stage on BBC One on Saturday night." Colin reminisced about Neil Young's declaration last year that he would play Glastonbury in 2025, only to retract his decision upon learning of the BBC's involvement. A BBC spokesperson has now broken their silence on the matter, exclusively telling The Mirror: 'On Saturday on BBC iPlayer, our Glastonbury Channel and five streams for the main stages will bring a range of live performances to audiences. At the artist's request, we won't be live streaming Neil Young's set. Our plans, including those for our TV highlights shows and on-demand coverage, continue to be finalised right up to and during the festival.' Neil had a change of heart and confirmed his appearance at the festival. BBC presenter Colin explained this week : "I asked Emily Eavis what was going on and she says she does not believe that Neil Young's set will be broadcast by the BBC. "There's been all kinds of backstage wrangling and negotiations, but as things currently stand, Neil Young's headline set on Saturday night will not be broadcast by the BBC. Instead, they'll be showing Charlie XCX." The Mirror revealed on Tuesday how the Heart of Gold singer, 79, was still wrangling with the BBC about what they could show amid fears it could be heavily cut. It came after we told how a BBC schedule of live sets released to the public omits Young, while mentioning headliners such as Charli xcx and Doechii who play other stages on Saturday. In another development, fans are now fearful after his last two European shows in Bergen, Norway, and Copenhagen, Denmark, were hit with sound problems. Fans complained about a poor vocal mix. Some were also unhappy that on at least one of those shows, Neil didn't have any large screens for fans to see the action from the back of the crowd. BBC bosses are said to be treading carefully after the star pulled out of the festival earlier this year citing concerns about the BBC's 'corporate control'. He said in January: 'We were told that BBC was now a partner in Glastonbury and wanted us to do a lot of things in a way we were not interested in. It seems Glastonbury is now under corporate control and is not the way I remember it being.' A BBC spokeswoman said: 'We aim to bring audiences as many performances as possible from the Pyramid Stage, and our schedules and plans continue to be finalised, right up to and during the festival.' Young has voices his concerns made principled stands recently. He blocked his music from Spotify for two years, saying a podcaster on the platform had spread vaccine misinformation. When Young played Glastonbury in 2009 only five songs were televised. Speaking at the time Mark Cooper, then executive producer of the BBC's Glastonbury coverage, said: 'Neil Young's career has been conducted on his own terms. 'They believe in the live event and retaining its mystery and that of their artist. They have decided to make one song available online over the weekend to give a flavour of his set. That's Rockin' in the Free World and that's their decision. You probably won't find too many Neil Young performances available freely on TV or online.'

Kneecap shares powerful message ahead of Glastonbury gig that BBC won't show
Irish band Kneecap have shared a powerful message in the build-up to their Glastonbury set. While the rap group will be taking to the stage at the iconic festival, their set will not be shown live on the BBC following the fallout from their political gestures at previous shows. Now, the group has shared a short film calling for urgent attention to the ongoing genocide in Gaza. Taking to Instagram, they shared the video which opened with a public service announcement graphic that reads: "Please pay attention," in the opening credits. They then read a statement condemning genocide as they draw from sources including Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, The Lancet, and multiple UN agencies. The words are accompanied by a series of animated illustrations on screen, while as well as interviews with doctors and activists. In the caption for the upload, the group wrote: "Kneecap is not the story. Genocide in Gaza is. "See it. Say it. Censored.' is an artist-led alternative PSA presented by kneecap that demands urgent action to stop the genocide unfolding in Gaza."Created by a coalition of artists and powered by the testimony of medics and activists, the film builds on reports from Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch and UN agencies, to lay out the facts and call for vital action: STOP THE GENOCIDE." The upload comes a day after it was announced the outspoken group's Glastonbury set is unlikely to be broadcast live on BBC. There were also calls to pull the act. It comes following controversy over band member Mo Chara's court case this week. Mo Chara, real name Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh, was charged with brandishing a flag backing banned militant group Hezbollah at a gig in November 2024. The 27-year-old faced Westminster Magistrates' Court on June 18. Supporters and musicians, including Paul Weller, gathered outside. The charge related to an incident after the band's O2 Forum show in Kentish Town, London. However the band had branded the case against the musician as 'witch hunt'. They made the calim in a post shared on Twitter/X after they were investigated by counter-terrorism police in May for videos allegedly showing Liam saying "up Hamas, up Hezbollah". Meanwhile, hundreds of people protesting held up placards that read "Free Mo Chara", and "Defend Kneecap". The group was also backed by respected musicians, who also showed public support for the band. The controversial slot at Glastonbury was also under scrutiny. However, with the rapper bailed until later in the summer, the show has been able to go ahead, much to the delight of many fans. Speaking from Westminster, he told fans: "For anybody going to Glastonbury, you can see us there at 4pm on the Saturday.

Blind steward encourages others to volunteer at Glastonbury Festival
A man has said that being blind has not held him back from volunteering at Glastonbury Festival. Jacob Hare, 21, from Nottingham, is an Oxfam steward and encourages other people with disabilities and impairments to "definitely give it a go". He said that while festivals can be "pretty tricky" at times, due to the different terrains and festival obstacles, he feels incredibly supported by his "Oxfamily".Mr Hare, who attends the festival alongside his mum, Louise Potter, said he also could not do it without her and describes her as being his "second pair of eyes". He told BBC Radio Somerset that he tries to be as "capable as possible" when he is stewarding but said that there are some things that he "just can't do".Mr Hare has less than 10% of his vision remaining and compares anything that he is still able to see as "blotchy" and as though he is "looking through a colander".The 21-year-old student added: "My vision reduces a lot when it's dark and so getting around is made even harder, but Oxfam has been really good and has made any adjustments that I need."Mr Hare and his mum said that they enjoy going to Glastonbury Festival together and hope that more people with disabilities and impairments will give stewarding a go. Mr Hare also describes Oxfam as "such a lovely community" and said that there are "always familiar faces around to ask for a hand".He added: "If you can do it and want to do it, then definitely give it a go."
