Glastonbury Festival 2025: Preview

Revellers have been pouring into Worthy Farm since Wednesday and anticipation is now sky high for the first day of incredible acts. On multiple stages across the mile-wide site, viewers can catch thrilling performances from artists like the Mercury Prize-nominated Loyle Carner, American rapper Busta Rhymes, and indie rockers Wet Leg, while Lewis Capaldi is reported to make his “surprise” comeback on the Pyramid Stage ahead of Alanis Morrisette and debut headliners, The 1975. Join in this year's biggest party (bucket hat optional) as we explain below how to watch Glastonbury 2025 online for free from anywhere on BBC iPlayer.

Perhaps it’s because Glastonbury's taking a break next year, but the upcoming festival – beginning on Wednesday, June 25 and closing on Sunday, June 29 – feels like it’s going to be more epic than ever. Tickets to the 210,000 capacity event, the world’s largest greenfield music and performing arts festival, sold out in just 35 minutes, and there’s no shortage of rising stars and bona fide legends making the trip to Worthy Farm, Somerset to wow the blissed-out crowds.

There are some strong 90s vibes on the first full day of music. Playing the Pyramid Stage in her Glasto debut, Alanis Morrissette will emote the heck out of hits like “You Oughta Know” and “Ironic” as R&B group En Vogue (“Free Your Mind”) finish up on the West Holts stage. Then, in an extensive hour-and-a-half-long set, Cheshire rock band The 1975 will take the spotlight as the weekend’s inaugural headliners.

As ever, the festival boasts an eclectic lineup, and viewer’s should enjoy a lively mix of music vets and quickly rising Gen Z stars. Saturday promises a jaw-dropping pedigree of classic rock artists like John Foggerty (Creedence Clearwater Revival) and, of course, “Rockin’ in the Free World" singer Neil Young, who’s highly-anticipated set coincides with two very different artists: Grammy winners Charli XCX and US rapper Doechii, enchanting audiences at the Other and West Holts stages respectively.

That’s not forgetting the legend that is Rod Stewart alongside his former Faces band mate Ronnie Wood, a trio of tantalizing TBC slots, and a mystery band called Patchwork, before megastar Oliva Rodrigo closes out Glastonbury with a raucous rendition of tracks like “Good 4 U” and “Vampire.”

Catch all this and so much more. Simply follow our guide to how to watch Glastonbury 2025, with dozens of the festival’s biggest performances available free on BBC iPlayer, live and on-demand.

Those in the UK can watch Glastonbury 2025 programming from Thursday, June 26 until Sunday, June 29, with previews, interviews, and live performances broadcast across linear channels BBC One, BBC Two, and BBC Four.

However, the BBC iPlayer Glastonbury hub, is where you want to go for your most extensive coverage with multiple sets available to stream live for free.

It's free to sign-up for a BBC iPlayer account. All you need is an email address and a UK postcode (e.g. BA4 4BY). You should also have a valid TV licence.

How to watch Glastonbury Festival 2025 from anywhere

If you're a UK citizen on vacation or working overseas, you can still live stream Glastonbury 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 and allow you to watch UK TV online, making 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.

How To Use A VPN To Unblock Streaming Services:

1. Choose your ideal VPN and install – our go-to recommendation for unblocking is NordVPN, costing from just $3.69 a month with its 2-year plan

2. Connect to a server – for BBC iPlayer, for example, you'll want to connect to a server located in the UK

3. Stream away! – login to your streaming service – BBC iPlayer in this instance – and stream like you were in your home country

Can I watch Glastonbury Festival online anywhere else?

Well, this is awkward. Music fans and Olivia Rodrigo stans in the US, Canada, Australia – pretty much everywhere outside the UK – won’t be able to watch Glastonbury Festival 2025 live streams in their country. The BBC is the only broadcaster with the rights to provide coverage currently, and its on-demand platform, BBC iPlayer, is locked to those outside the UK.

A Brit abroad during Glastonbury? Use a VPN to access BBC iPlayer and catch a Glastonbury live stream.
