Why is all of Lana Del Rey’s Glastonbury set not on BBC iPlayer as fans fume

Fans have called on the BBC to “sort it out” as they are still not able to watch Lana Del Ray’s Glastonbury’s set on the BBC iPlayer.

The star was 30 minutes late to the stage, saying to fans that she did not have enough time to get ready.

She came on shouting: “If they cut power, they cut power. I’m super f**king sorry, my hair takes so long to do. If they cut the power, let’s keep going!”

But her mic was cut off halfway through her set, as her time had run out.

Festival-goers queued eagerly before her set to get a good spot. She was due to start at 10.30pm, but did not step out until around 11pm.

But now, fans have been left questioning whether the star is “on the naughty step” as her set still cannot be viewed on the iPlayer.

One wrote: “Is the #lanadelrey set going to be on BBC #glastonbury #iPlayer? Still not gone live. Or is she on the naughty step? Sort it out.”

What happened to Lana Del Rey at Glastonbury?

The star had her mic cut and was asked to get off the stage, with tweets from fans showing her trying to continue her set through the crowd.

Glastonbury says under the terms of the festival, it is not allowed to play music on any major stages past midnight, and Lana’s set had been due to end at 11.45pm, but was still going on more than 15 minutes later. The Video Games singer, 38, was headlining the Other Stage at the same time as Guns n’ Roses were headlining the Pyramid stage on Saturday night.

One wrote: “Why is Lana Del Rey’s set not on iPlayer? She was a headliner,” while another complained: “So disappointing that Lana’s set isn’t on iplayer. Leaving us in the dirt here.”

The BBC has since said the full set is not available, but said they did have coverage of “selected tracks” from the act on the night.

A spokesman said: ““Lana Del Rey’s set was broadcast in full on Saturday night and we are delighted that we can include selected tracks as part of our on-demand offer on BBC iPlayer, as agreed with the artist.”
