The BBC is set to bring audiences at home extensive coverage of the Glastonbury Festival this June, as it returns to Worthy Farm in Somerset. The broadcaster will be delivering a two-month celebration across TV, BBC iPlayer, BBC Sounds, and radio. Today (June 3), the presenting team was officially announced by the BBC, with the likes of Anita Rani, Annie Macmanus, Arielle Free, Cerys Matthews, Clara Amfo, Craig Charles, Danni Diston, and Danny Howard sharing the magic. Matt Everitt, Nathan Shepherd, Nick Grimshaw, Sam MacGregor, Sarah Story, Steve Lamacq, and Zoe Ball will also be presenting.
Lorna Clarke, BBC Director of Music, stated: “This year, we’re making it easier than ever for millions of music fans to access Glastonbury’s standout moments, whilst also giving them the freedom to explore the festival their way – Glastonbury is theirs and the BBC brings it to them.
“I would like to thank Emily and Michael Eavis once again for allowing us this exclusive access to their very special creation, as only the BBC can bring the nation together to enjoy their beloved festival.”
How can I watch Glastonbury 2025 on TV?
BBC iPlayer—the ultimate place to watch Glastonbury—will stream over 90 hours of performances on the five main stages.
Viewers at home can also plot their way through the weekend with the Glastonbury Highlights Channel. From late evening on Friday 27th June, viewers can catch up with all the biggest, most-talked about performances from this year’s festival, 24 hours a day, until Wednesday 30th July.
New and on-demand for this year will be Glastonbury Recap, which will show a short montage of clips released each day of the festival to catch viewers up on the action.
On TV, there will be extensive coverage over the weekend on BBC One, Two, and Four.
During the week leading up to Glastonbury Festival, BBC Two will broadcast three 30-minute specials called Glastonbury: 70s Legends (w/t), Glastonbury: 80s Legends (w/t), and Glastonbury: 90s Legends (w/t). Each will feature classic Glastonbury tracks from performers who made their name in each of those decades.
BBC Two will then kick off the first live programme from Worthy Farm on Thursday, June 26th. The One Show will then start the Glastonbury weekend on BBC One on Friday, June 27th, at 7 p.m.
