How to catch all of the action at Glastonbury 2023!

Glastonbury Festival returns to Worthy Farm for 2023 - and here's how you can follow all the fun from home!

Running from Wednesday 21 June – Sunday 25 June, the legendary Somerset event promises another incredible line up, featuring the likes of Elton John, Arctic Monkeys, Lizzo and more, and the BBC will once again be the destination to catch all the standout sets and must-watch moments.

Across BBC iPlayer, BBC Sounds, TV, radio, online and more, there's plenty of options for fans wanting to get up close on the action. Here's your complete guide to how you can stay up-to-date across the weekend...

Watch on iPlayer

BBC iPlayer is your go-to place for live performances, classic Glasto content and many more special treats!

In the lead up to the event, you can build your excitement by watching the festival site setting up in real time on the Glasto-Cam on iPlayer. The BBC’s famous Glastonbury webcam launches as a live stream from Monday 19th June – Sunday 25th June, giving you an aerial view of Worthy Farm from sunrise to sunset and soundtracked with BBC Sounds music mixes.

You can also get in the mood for the music that is to come by watching our Greatest Hits stream, which will feature back-to-back iconic performances from past festivals, streamed 24 hours a day from Monday 19th June – Sunday 25th June.

During the event itself, you'll be able to tune into our special Glastonbury Channel, which will run on iPlayer from Friday to Sunday. Here, you'll get a curated and continuous stream of major live moments, exclusive interviews and some of the magic from behind the scenes - all presented by some of your favourite BBC radio and TV hosts.

As in previous years, there will be live streams from the five major stages (Pyramid Stage, Other Stage, Park Stage, West Holts Stage and the John Peel Stage) for you to enjoy even more of your favourite bands and artists.

For the first time, performances on the Pyramid Stage will be streamed live in British Sign Language throughout the weekend, and for the second year running, we will be broadcasting the Pyramid Stage in Ultra HD.

Find out more about supported TV devices for Ultra HD.

After the weekend, you will be able to watch back full sets from over 90 artists on iPlayer, with the Pyramid Stage headliners available in UHD. You'll also be able to watch must-watch standalone tracks from all of these acts.

You can find these by searching for Glastonbury on iPlayer, or you can watch our Glastonbury 2023 Highlights stream, a continuous livestream which will bring you the most iconic sets from this year's festival from Monday 26th June to Sunday 2nd July.
