The BBC will also continue to be Glastonbury Festival's exclusive, multimedia broadcast partner, following a recent multi-year extension.

Lorna Clarke, BBC Director of Music says: “Glastonbury 2023 will have even more live coverage from site, including a record number of hours on BBC One. There will be more programming in the lead up, including an updated version of Glastonbury: 50 Years and Counting and more content to discover on BBC Sounds and BBC iPlayer. As always, scale and discovery is at the heart of our BBC Glastonbury coverage.

This year we’re proud to deliver over 40 hours of coverage across our TV channels to our audiences, as well as over 85 hours of live radio broadcasts, in addition to content on BBC Sounds. We’ll also be increasing the scale and accessibility of our BBC iPlayer offer, with even more themed and live streams. For the first time, we will be streaming Pyramid Stage performances live in British Sign Language, making our coverage more accessible than ever before. Our thanks once again go to Emily and Michael Eavis, for allowing us to bring their treasured festival to so many music fans throughout the weekend and beyond.”

Emily Eavis says: “We've worked in partnership with the BBC since 1997, and they've become an incredibly valuable part of what we do at Glastonbury. I think we've created something really special together and we’re delighted that they're continuing to evolve their coverage with additions such as streaming Pyramid Stage performances live in British Sign Language. We’re looking forward to welcoming them to the farm in June and here’s to many more Glastonburys together.”

TV and BBC iPlayer

TV

BBC television, with programmes presented by Clara Amfo, Lauren Laverne, Jack Saunders and Jo Whiley, will bring viewers over 40 hours of coverage over the festival weekend – even more than in 2022, which featured 35 hours of Glastonbury programming across the BBC’s TV channels.

There will be more sets on BBC One than ever before, with BBC Two, BBC Three and BBC Four also dedicating the weekend to the festival, bringing viewers a diverse range of artists from the Pyramid, Other, West Holts, Woodsies and Park stages. Artists whose sets will be featured across BBC TV include: Arctic Monkeys, Guns N’ Roses, Elton John, Lizzo, Blondie, Fatboy Slim, Fred Again, Kelis, Lewis Capaldi, Måneskin, Raye, Yusuf / Cat Stevens, Wizkid and many more to be announced.

Glastonbury on television will begin the weekend before the festival, as BBC Two readies viewers for the main event with We Love Glastonbury (w/t), Glastonbury Anthems (w/t) and a newly re-versioned edition of Glastonbury: 50 Years and Counting.

We Love Glastonbury (w/t, 1x60)

Musicians and Glastonbury fans tell stories of their favourite performances and stand-out moments from over the years. Contributors include: Jessie Ware, who performed at Glastonbury in 2022, 2015 and 2013; Jake Shears, who performed with Ana Matronic as Scissor Sisters in 2004 and again in 2010, when they were joined on stage by Kylie Minogue for a rendition of their song Any Which Way; Noel Gallagher, who first played the festival with Oasis in 1994 and most recently in 2022, with Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds; Sharleen Spiteri of Texas, who played in 1999; and Glastonbury fan and comedian Nish Kumar, who will perform in the Cabaret Tent, in the Theatre & Circus fields this year.

Glastonbury Anthems (w/t, 3x30)

This series takes viewers on a journey through classic anthems from Glastonbury over the years, from when the cameras first arrived on Worthy Farm in 1997 to the present day.

Glastonbury: 50 Years and Counting (1x90)

This June, BBC Two broadcasts a newly re-versioned and revamped edition of this film, with footage from Glastonbury 2022. New footage includes extracts from Wet Leg’s performance on the Park Stage, Greta Thunberg’s speech on the Pyramid Stage and new interviews with 2022 performers Arlo Parks and Billie Eilish – Glastonbury’s youngest ever solo headliner – bringing the story of the festival right up to date.

Francis Whately’s film is a social and musical history of (probably) the world’s greatest music festival, as told by its principal curators, Michael and Emily Eavis, and many of the key artists who have appeared there since its inception in 1970 – Billie Eilish, Thom Yorke, Florence Welch, Dua Lipa, The Levellers, Aswad, Orbital, Fatboy Slim, Linda Lewis, who sadly passed away earlier this year, Noel Gallagher, Ed O’Brien, Chris Martin, Stormzy and more. Balancing the driving forces of social conscience and hedonism, Glastonbury has always been both a world apart and a barometer of the state of the nation. Looking at the hippie days, Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament, the contribution of the travellers, dance music, Britpop, The Wall, the impact of television and the first black British solo headliner, this film takes viewers backstage and deep into the archive to reveal the forces that have driven this alternative nation between utopia and dystopia, the greatest night of your life and a muddy field in the middle of nowhere.

BBC One joins the celebrations from Friday 23 June, as The One Show reports live from the festival from 7pm-7.30pm.

In the week that follows Glastonbury, BBC Two will broadcast a compilation of standout performances from this year’s festival.

See Hear, BBC Two’s monthly magazine programme for Deaf audiences, will also be reflecting on Glastonbury in their July episode.

After the festival, CBeebies Bedtime Stories will be broadcasting Glastonbury specials, featuring a host of stars who will help the nation’s pre-schoolers wind down for the day.

The full TV schedule from Saturday 17 – Friday 23 June will be announced on Wednesday 7 June and the TV schedules from Saturday 24 June - Friday 30 June will be confirmed on Wednesday 14 June.

BBC iPlayer

BBC iPlayer will once again be the ultimate viewing destination for Glastonbury on the BBC. Audiences have the choice to be guided through the best of the festival by expert presenters, or to move freely between live streams from the five filmed stages, to create their own personal Glastonbury. Plus, with a range of new streams and themed channels available across twelve days this year (Monday 19 to Friday 30 June), in addition to the 40 hours of coverage on BBC iPlayer’s dedicated Glastonbury channel, 2023 will be BBC iPlayer’s most extensive Glastonbury celebration yet.

The Glastonbury Channel on BBC iPlayer – the ultimate guide to Glastonbury - then returns to BBC iPlayer, and will be live from Friday 23 June – Sunday 25 June (12pm-late). Back and better for 2023, each day sees BBC Glastonbury presenters, joined by special guests, steer viewers through all the action at the festival.

BBC iPlayer will also be broadcasting continuous live streams from the five main festival stages: Pyramid, Other, West Holts, Park and Woodsies.

Sets from the Pyramid Stage will once again be shown live in Ultra High Definition on BBC iPlayer on the Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Over 90 sets and key tracks from the five filmed stages, as well as themed performance compilations, will be available to watch on demand on BBC iPlayer throughout the weekend and for 30 days after broadcast - including selected Pyramid Stage performances in Ultra High Definition.

For those not wanting the festival to end, The Glastonbury BBC iPlayer Channel will continue through the week after (Monday 26 - Friday 30 June), showing some of the stand-out performances.
