For the first time, the BBC will livestream headline Glastonbury performances to a global audience later this week.
Dua Lipa and Coldplay’s 2024 Pyramid Stage sets will be available to view on the recently relaunched BBC.com.
The livestreams will be produced by BBC Studios, with Dua Lipa’s headline performance on Friday, June 28 (10pm-11.45am BST) and Coldplay’s headline set on Saturday, June 29 (9.45pm-11.45pm BST) both at BBC.com/pages/Glastonbury-live.
Fans can also follow along with festival highlights, updates and analysis on BBC.com throughout the weekend.
Tara Maitra, chief commercial officer at BBC Studios, said: “The Glastonbury Festival is an icon of British culture, and this livestream will give fans around the globe a front row seat to headline performances like never before. This is just the latest example of our focus on bringing more cultural-defining moments like Glastonbury to fans on our platforms outside the UK so users can experience the best of British culture wherever they may be.”
Lorna Clarke, BBC director of music, said: “At the BBC, we bring Glastonbury to you, and we’re incredibly proud of our coverage. It enables millions of people to access the magic of Emily and Michael Eavis’ festival each year. The global streams of Dua Lipa and Coldplay’s performances are another exciting addition to our offer, allowing us not only to unite music fans across the country, but across the world with the opportunity to experience these world class performances as they happen.”
Dua Lipa is making her first ever appearance on the famous Pyramid Stage, while Coldplay return to headline Glastonbury for the fifth time, and for the first time since 2016.
The BBC’s extensive coverage of the festival for UK audiences will include Pyramid Stage headline performances from Dua Lipa, Coldplay and SZA across its platforms.
There will be over 90 hours of live performances from the five main Glastonbury stages on BBC iPlayer, 90 hours of radio programmes broadcast live, extensive coverage on TV and more on BBC Sounds.
