The 1975 at Glastonbury: Preview

It's arguably the pinnacle of their career and we can't wait to see what the Brit Award-winners are about to unleash. Stream the whole performance – and in glorious Ultra High Definition – with our guide below where we explain how to watch The 1975 at Glastonbury online for free with BBC iPlayer and from anywhere.
Broadly defined as pop-rock, UK band The 1975 have received global acclaim since the release of their self-titled debut album in 2013, which introduced fans to their most well-known track to date, “Chocolate.” Despite criticism from some quarters – including Oasis singer Liam Gallagher – for not conforming to the classic rock mould, they’ve scored five consecutive UK number 1 albums, won multiple Brit Awards, and been praised for their musical eclecticism, with Billboard hailing them as "the most ambitious pop-rock band of their generation.”
After wrapping up their biggest ever tour in North America, and currently working on their sixth studio album, Glastonbury 2025 is reported to be their ONLY confirmed gig this year. So viewers can expect quite the show as frontman Matty Healy and his bandmates pour all their energies into an unforgettable evening at the 210,000 capacity venue, while rapt audiences at home catch it all in comfort and, most importantly, for free!
Catch the festival veterans' fourth – and potentially, best – appearance at Worthy Farm tonight with our following guide, providing those within and outside of the UK with instructions on how to watch The 1975 at Glastonbury 2025 online and from anywhere in the world.

Has The 1975 Played Glastonbury Before?
Glastonbury Festival’s 2025 edition is the first time The 1975 have headlined. But the pop-rock band have attended the festival before on three other occasions, including in 2016 with a set on the Other Stage.
Why Do They Call Themselves The 1975?
Frontman Matty Healy settled on the band’s current name when he found a pre-owned copy of the 1957 novel On The Road – a classic work of American literature – whose scribblings included the oddly inscribed date “1 June, The 1975” on its pages.
