Glastonbury 2025 fans have been deep-diving into the BBC’s Saturday iPlayer broadcast lineup as the festival weekend unfolds. A fresh broadcast deal secured Neil Young’s iconic set for airing, resolving initial rights-related exclusions and relieving fans eager for his performance.
Meanwhile, broadcast confusion briefly unfolded around hip-hop trio Kneecap—momentarily dropped from BBC graphics amid controversy related to band member legal issues—but their set is confirmed as live on air. This back-to-back broadcast with Bob Vylan’s charged show has fans buzzing.
The community voiced clear disappointment over omissions like Nilufer Yanya from televised slots, and puzzled over notable crowd favorites such as Kaiser Chiefs being absent from the BBC coverage. The Park stage’s TBA slot remains a curiosity, with viewers seeking clarity on these lesser-known but emerging acts.
The BBC is delivering a mammoth Glastonbury presence, streaming over 90 hours across Pyramid, Other, West Holts, Woodsies, and The Park stages. Pyramid sets are available in Ultra HD and include British Sign Language interpretation. The Glastonbury Channel supplements with curated highlights and exclusive guest commentary throughout the weekend.
While fans appreciate the breadth of coverage and shared broadcast schedule, many still yearn for deeper representation of early and underground artists who often shape Glastonbury’s grassroot energy.
