The iconic Glastonbury festival kicks off its broadcast coverage this Thursday, June 26, at 10 PM on BBC Two. Clara Amfo and Lauren Laverne are set to guide music fans through the initial moments of the massive event, pulling back the curtain on the first 48 hours of what is truly a sprawling cultural gathering.
This initial program is less about full performances and more about setting the mood. Amfo and Laverne will share stories from Worthy Farm, giving a feel for the atmosphere before the major acts take to the stages. The broadcast will also look forward to some of the performances scheduled for the weekend, with mentions of artists like The 1975, Rod Stewart, Olivia Rodrigo, Raye, and Charli XCX.
Glastonbury is, for many, the pinnacle of the summer festival season, known for its wide range of music, dance, comedy, and theater across its various fields. This BBC Two broadcast provides a first look for those not lucky enough to be there, setting the stage for more extensive coverage that will continue throughout the weekend. It’s the sound of summer beginning for music fans in the UK.
Glastonbury airs Thursday, June 26, 2025, at 10:00 PM on BBC Two.
