Glastonbury Festival 2024: Preview
One of the greatest shows on Earth returned to the fields of Somerset, UK on the last weekend of June, with over 200,000 revellers gathering at the 2024 Glastonbury Festival. Headlining the famous Pyramid Stage this year were Dua Lipa, Coldplay and SZA, with country music star Shania Twain in the coveted 'legends' slot. But that's just the tip of a very large musical iceberg, and we're explaining here how you can watch Glastonbury Festival and catch-up on streams for free and from anywhere now on-demand.
After the usual reports of tickets completely selling out within an hour late last year and then months of wild speculation on the line-up, the bill was announced in March. Facing criticisms about 2023's all-male headline acts, organizers Michael and Emily Eavis delivered on their promise to make history with female artists filling two of the three headline slots this time around.
But anybody who's been to Worthy Farm or watched on TV in the past knows that the magic of Glastonbury extends much further than the top names on the poster. Over 3,000 acts in all performed at an institution that's thriving better than ever, 54 years after its very first edition – from musical icons like Cyndi Lauper and local heroes Idles, to international superstars such as Janelle Monae and a whole host of up-and-coming acts.
A special few days were had at the Glastonbury Festival of Contemporary Performing Arts (to give it its full name), and you can watch back a number of sets across the three days with Glastonbury 2024 streams available for free on BBC iPlayer now.

Glastonbury Festival 2024 took place from Friday, June 28 to Sunday, June 30, with thousands of acts performing across the site. Now you can catch a number of sets and highlights on the BBC iPlayer Glastonbury hub, and stream 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 2024 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?
Unfortunately, music fans in the US, Canada, Australia, and the rest of the world don't generally have access to Glastonbury festival live streams – the BBC is the only place with wall-to-wall coverage and its on-demand platform, the BBC iPlayer, is locked to those in the UK only.
That is except for the Dua Lipa set on Saturday and Coldplay on Sunday. Unusually, they'll be available to stream for free worldwide on the BBC website.
