This year’s Glastonbury headline sets, from Dua Lipa and Coldplay, will stream live via the BBC website. Extensive coverage of the festival routinely airs in the United Kingdom, but this is the first year in which global audiences can watch along. Dua Lipa’s headline set, on Friday, June 28, is due to run from 5-6:45 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time, before Coldplay’s set the following night at 4:45-6:45 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time. Head to the BBC website then to watch the live sets for free. The sets will stream on-demand for 10 days after the artists’ respective sets.
Only Coldplay and Dua Lipa’s sets will stream live, but the BBC will host highlights from other artists on-demand for a limited time for UK viewers. SZA is the final headliner at this year’s festival, with artists down the bill including Charli XCX, LCD Soundsystem, PJ Harvey, Jamie xx, and the National. Shania Twain plays the Sunday afternoon “legends” slot. In keeping with festival tradition, a secret unannounced act will perform, taking an evening slot on the Woodsies stage on Saturday.
Coldplay, who announced new album Moon Music last week, are headlining Glastonbury for the fifth time, the all-time record, pipping the Cure, whose 2019 headline set was their fourth time atop the bill. Dua Lipa is making her debut on the Pyramid Stage behind May’s Radical Optimism.
