Here’s how to stream Glastonbury in 2025 – plus a few bonus London venues streaming the action on the big screen.

How To Stream Glastonbury From Home

Every year BBC iPlayer hosts a live stream of Glastonbury on a dedicated channel. You can find it here or on the BBC iPlayer homepage. It will be available from midday on Friday 28 June until Sunday evening and will feature a continuous stream of live performances, plus some interviews and behind the scenes moments. Think of this as the ‘best bits’ live stream.

If you’re interested in a specific stage, however, the BBC also has you covered. iPlayer will host dedicated live streams from the five main stages: the Pyramid Stage, the Other Stage, Park Stage, West Holts and Woodsies.

The BBC anticipates around 90 hours of coverage will be available to stream.

If you fancy a trip down memory lane, there’s also the non-stop Classic Glastonbury channel, which is live 24 hours a day from now until 30 June. It features back-to-back footage of some of the festival’s most legendary performances.

Can I Watch Specific Performances?

If you’re looking for a particular artist’s set, the BBC usually posts a selection of clips – if not full sets – from a plethora of performers at Glastonbury on iPlayer. You can see examples of past coverage on the Classic Glastonbury page. There are also plenty of playlists and past performances on the BBC Music YouTube channel.
