How To Watch Glastonbury Festival Live Stream
Live stream Glastonbury Festival 2023: preview
The UK's biggest music festival returns to Worthy Farm in Somerset, England for its 53rd year. With headline acts including Arctic Monkeys on Friday, Guns N' Roses on Saturday, and Elton John closing the show on Sunday night, you can enjoy the whole festival from the comfort of your couch for free. Airing live through BBC, we explain how to watch a Glastonbury Festival live stream online from anywhere.
While a ticket to this year's festival set attendees back £340, that hasn't stopped the festival from, time and time again, selling out with approximately 200,000 people set to stomp on the farm located in the South West of England. With over 100 stages, most of the live stream action will come from its main stages, Pyramid, Other, West Holts Stage, Woodsies, and the Park Stage.
As well as its main headliners, the likes of Lizzo, Aitch, Carly Rae Jepsen, Cat Burns,Lewis Capaldi, Maneskin, Rina Sawayama, and Wizkid will also be performing across the weekend.
There will be live streams across a number of sets through BBC iPlayer. Make sure you know how to live stream Glastonbury Festival and watch online from anywhere with our guide below.
Watch Glastonbury Festival live stream in the UK
Glastonbury Festival takes place across three days Friday-Sunday. This year the festival arrives in Worthy Farm June 23-25 with live coverage and highlights being aired across BBC One, BBC Two, and BBC Three on linear TV.
Most TV coverage begins from 5pm BST, with BBC's on-demand streaming service BBC iPlayer the place to get an uninterrupted Glastonbury live stream throughout all three days.
It's free to sign-up for a BBC account. All you need is an email address and a UK postcode (e.g. W1A 1AA) and a valid TV licence.
Abroad? Use a VPN using the instructions below to access BBC iPlayer like you would at home.
How to watch Glastonbury Festival from anywhere
If you're a UK citizen on vacation or working overseas, you can still live stream Glastonbury Festival just as you would at home.
While BBC iPlayer is for licence fee-paying Brits and blocks access from IP addresses outside of the UK, there's a handy piece of software called a VPN which can change your IP address to make it look like you're accessing streaming services from any country in the world.
For example, UK citizens in the States can subscribe to a VPN, join a UK based server and tune into all the programmes on BBC iPlayer from anywhere in the world, just like you would back home.
Step-by-step of using a VPN to unblock:
1. Choose a VPN and install it - our go-to recommendation is ExpressVPN
2. Connect to a server - for BBC iPlayer, for example, you'll want to connect to a server based in the UK
3. Go to the live stream you wish to access - for Glastonbury sets, head to BBC iPlayer
How to watch Glastonbury Festival live stream in the rest of the world
Unfortunately, those in the States, Canada, Australia, and the rest of the world miss out on any official broadcast of Glastonbury Festival. BBC is the only place with coverage, with its on-demand platform, BBC iPlayer, locked to those in the UK only.
