Glastonbury is back once more, with a host of music legends old and new heading to Worthy Farm to entertaining crowded fields – from Diana Ross (performing in the “Legends” slot) and Kendrick Lamar playing Glastonbury for the first time to headline sets from Billie Eilish and Paul McCartney.

Once again, the BBC is the place to be to follow the weekend all from your living room, with more than 35 hours of coverage across each of its TV channels, along with BBC iPlayer and online streams, plus radio broadcasts – all covering everything from headline shows on the Pyramid Stage to emerging artists. Glastonbury 2022 marks the first time the BBC has broadcast any music event in Ultra High Definition. Sets from the Pyramid Stage will be shown live in UHD on BBC iPlayer on the Friday, Saturday and Sunday, with key performances and a special programme featuring highlights from the Pyramid Stage available on demand in UHD after the event.

BBC iPlayer’s dedicated Glastonbury channel is now live and presenting a stream of live performances and preview programmes.

On TV, meanwhile, Saturday will feature Olivia Rodrigo, followed by Paul McCartney on the Pyramid Stage – the first time BBC One has broadcast a Saturday night headliner. On the Sunday, BBC One will show Diana Ross’ much anticipated performance in the legendary teatime slot on the Pyramid Stage.

BBC Two will reflect on the shows and stories from day one of the festival on the Friday, before focusing on the Pyramid Stage headline performance from Billie Eilish – Glastonbury’s youngest solo headliner to date. Also featuring on the channel will be Kendrick Lamar, who is headlining the Pyramid Stage on the Sunday night. Other artists whose performances will be shown on BBC Two across the weekend include Elbow, Jessie Ware, Joy Crookes, Lorde, Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds, Sam Fender and Years & Years.

On BBC Three, audiences can catch Charli XCX, Declan McKenna, Glass Animals, Little Simz, YUNGBLUD and more.

BBC Four will provide extensive and immersive coverage, including highlights and live footage from key sets across the weekend. Artists featured on the channel will include Angélique Kidjo, Arlo Parks, Celeste, Kacey Musgraves, Pet Shop Boys and Robert Plant & Alison Krauss.

More than 90 sets and key tracks from the five filmed stages will be available to watch on-demand on BBC iPlayer throughout the weekend and for 30 days after broadcast. After the festival, BBC Two will broadcast a round-up of the best of Glastonbury 2022 in a special highlights programme.

The Beeb has also been building up to the weekend with a string of other programmes and old highlights, ranging from the documentary Glastonbury: 50 Years & Counting to a chance to catch Stormzy’s 2019 Pyramid Stage performance.

Whether you’re watching live or catching up on-demand, here’s your full guide to the BBC TV coverage of Glastonbury 2022, including iPlayer highlights.
