How to watch Guns N’ Roses at Glastonbury and Saturday’s acts live online for free, catch up

Axl Rose, singer of the US hard rock band Guns N' Roses swings the mic around on stage ahead of the band's performance at Glastonbury 2023

Guns N’ Roses put on a pyrotechnic show when they headlined the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury on Saturday night.. The LA rockers played a three hour set that included huge hits like Sweet Child O'Mine plus some deep cuts. Lizzo, Lana Del Rey, Fat Boy Slim, and Lewis Capaldi all performed their Saturday sets too. You can watch it back on BBC iPlayer now. Currently traveling outside the UK? You can watch the Guns N’ Roses live stream, and all of Saturday’s acts, free online from anywhere with a VPN.

Watch Guns N’ Roses and Saturday’s acts Glastonbury 2023 live streams

Saturday’s Glastonbury 2023 performances will be broadcast live from 12 p.m. BST / 7 a.m. ET and streamed live throughout the day on June 24.
► FREE LIVE STREAMS —  BBC iPlayer (U.K.)
► Watch anywhere — Try ExpressVPN 100% risk free

Guns N’ Roses will provide the climax to Saturday's festivities with a 2-hour long set starting at 9.30pm BST / 4.30pm ET / 2.30pm PT, with frontman Axel Rose and guitarist Slash expected to thrill the crowd with a showstopping set packed with hard rock hits like Sweet Child O'Mine, Live And Let Die and Patience.

Making his Glastonbury debut on the same stage will be the Eighties pop star Rick Astley. The Never Gonna Give You Up hitmaker will warm up the audience before the powerhouse duo of Lewis Capaldi and Lizzo take to the Pyramid Stage, just ahead of Guns N' Roses.

Grammy-winning artist Lizzo will loosen everyone up with funky tracks like About Damn Time and Juice, while Capaldi – whose health issues led him to cancel all recent commitments “to be at my best and ready for Glastonbury – should now be poised to deliver a barnstorming set of his chart-topping hits.

Melancholic songstress Lana Del Rey will close the evening on Glastonbury’s second-biggest stage with something delightfully different to the night's heavy metal headliners, while over on the Electronic Stage, Praise You DJ Fat Boy Slim will be showing off his skills on the ones and twos.

Thanks to the BBC, you can catch the Guns N’ Roses online, plus Saturday’s other sensational performers, for FREE on BBC iPlayer, and as part of its dedicated Glastonbury Festival 2023 live stream coverage. Just read our guide to find out how to unblock your BBC iPlayer account when visiting the US or beyond.

How to watch Guns N’ Roses at Glastonbury 2023 and Saturday’s other live streams from anywhere with a VPN

Watching Glastonbury live streams is a tradition for millions of Brits across the country, but what if you're not there when the music is being broadcast live on the BBC? 

Look no further than a VPN, or virtual private network. A VPN makes it look as if you're surfing the web from your home country, rather than the one you're in. That means you can access the streaming services you already pay for, from anywhere on Earth. Or anywhere that has an internet connection, at least.

For instance, a Brit who's currently in the U.S. could stream Guns N’ Roses online with BBC iPlayer, even though they're not in the U.K., and see the heavy metal legends headline on Saturday night. Just make sure you have a valid TV license if you're accessing the service.

We've tested lots of the best VPN services and our favorite right now is ExpressVPN. It's fast, works on loads of devices and even offers a 30-day money-back guarantee. 

Using a VPN is incredibly simple.

1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we've said, ExpressVPN is our favorite.

2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance if you're in the U.S. and want to view a U.K. service, you'd select U.K. from the list.

3. Sit back and enjoy the action. Head to BBC iPlayer and watch all the Glastonbury action.


Can you watch Guns N’ Roses at Glastonbury and Saturday’s acts live in the US, Australia or elsewhere?

Technically, Glastonbury coverage is only available in the U.K., so if you live in another country, such as the U.S. and weren't lucky enough to grab a ticket for the festival, you won't be able to tune in.

However, if you're usually based in the U.K. but aren't there at the moment, you can stream Guns N’ Roses and watch Saturday’s other live performances on BBC iPlayer via a VPN such as ExpressVPN.

What time do Guns N' Roses play Glastonbury?

The Guns N' Roses set on the Pyramid Stage is due to start at 9:30 p.m. BST (4:30 p.m. ET / 10:30 p.m. CET). Axl Rose is notorious for taking the stage sometimes hours later than advertised, but Glastonbury organiser Emily Eavis runs a tight ship, so expect a prompt start later this evening at Worthy Farm.
