Glastonbury

Clara Amfo and Lauren Laverne reveal all the stories from the first 48 hours on site at the Glastonbury Festival. The duo will be joined by special guests, feature a couple of performances, and look ahead to some of the scheduled appearances by the likes of the 1975, Rod Stewart, Olivia Rodrigo, Raye, Charli xcx and more.

BBC Four starts its coverage with a north-south mix for this evening's entertainment. Leeds indie band English Teacher take to the Park Stage with their blend of guitar riffs and melodies laced with northern grit from Mercury award-winning album This Could Be Texas, which brought them world attention and affection. Then we head to the Other Stage for Isle of Wight indie band Wet Leg, who performed a stellar gig at Glastonbury back in 2022. Enjoy more rock and more roll with extra polish from the band who brought Chaise Longue to the world stage as they perform new tracks from their highly anticipated second album Moisturizer to the festival crowd.

More performances from the first day of the Somerset festival on Worthy Farm. Veteran indie band Supergrass kick things off on the Pyramid Stage, with the group having recently got back together for a tour performing their debut album I Should Coco live in its entirety for the first time, plus a small selection of additional fan favourites. This is followed by Stockport indie rockers Blossoms taking to the stage in the Woodsies Area, playing songs from their most recent album Gary, which topped the charts in September last year.

Clara Amfo and Lauren Laverne are live on the early evening of the first full day of music. They make a trip to the Pyramid Stage for one of the biggest moments of the weekend, when Canadian singer-songwriter Alanis Morissette makes her Glastonbury debut. Over at the West Holts Stage, there's coverage of another inaugural Worthy Farm performance - from 1990s R&B group En Vogue.

Jack Saunders and Jo Whiley get ready for the first headliner of the weekend, the 1975. There is plenty to see before then with the return of Scottish rockers Biffy Clyro to the Pyramid Stage. New York rapper Busta Rhymes takes over the Other Stage on his first visit to Worthy Farm, while Rotherham singer-songwriter and musical theatre star Self Esteem brings songs from her recent album A Complicated Woman to the Park Stage.

Further performances from Worthy Farm as the first day of Glastonbury Festival continues. Glasgow indie band Franz Ferdinand take to the Other Stage 16 years after their last appearance at the festival, not including FFS, their collaboration with Sparks. The coverage then crosses to the Park Stage for indie-rockers Wunderhorse, whose 2024 album Midas took them from small venues to touring with likes of Sam Fender, Foals and Fontaines DC. Consequently, they've stepped up to performing large-scale sold-out gigs and this evening Wunderhorse will showcase their unique energy and verve to this hallowed festival.

Closing tonight's coverage on BBC Four is a live headline performance from the Other stage by acclaimed south London hip-hop artist Loyle Carner. His newly released album Hopefully! follows in the same vein as his previous offerings Yesterday's Gone, Not Waving, but Drowning and Hugo in bringing the audience into aspects of his personal life. Get ready to watch hip-hop poetry in motion as Loyle bares his soul once again in an intimate setting on a big stage.

The 1975 headline the Pyramid Stage at Worthy Farm in Somerset. The Cheshire-originated four-piece are festival veterans, who have headlined the Reading and Leeds festival three times since 2016. However, topping the opening night of Glastonbury's line-up is their most prestigious set yet. With a new album rumoured to be in the works and this performance being the only live show the band will play in 2025, it promises to be a spectacle packed full of their crowd-pleasing hits such as Chocolate, The Sound and I'm In Love with You.

Clara Amfo and Jack Saunders present highlights from the Park Studio of the first full day of music at Glastonbury Festival. The pair introduce performances from the other headline acts of the evening, including ANOHNI and the Johnsons. Plus, south London rapper Loyle Carner returns to the Other Stage with songs from his recent album Hopefully!

Clara Amfo and Jack Saunders present coverage of day two at Glastonbury Festival, introducing performances from across the five main stages. Kicking off with two artists who make their Glastonbury debuts, pop singer Jade performs on Woodsies and American singer-songwriter Brandi Carlile takes to the the Pyramid Stage. Then it's over to the Other Stage for American indie band Weezer, while there are performances in the studio from Malawian duo Madalitso Band and indie rock group Good Neighbours.

Lauren Laverne and Jack Saunders present more music from Worthy Farm, introducing electronic music pioneer Gary Numan, who somewhat incredibly is making his debut at the festival as he takes to the Park Stage to showcase his five-decade long career. London jazz band and Mercury prize-winners Ezra Collective bring sheer joy and dancing to Saturday afternoon on the Other Stage, while after much speculation the time arrives for everyone to learn who Patchwork are.

BBC Four kicks off its second night of Glastonbury coverage with a blast of swamp rock and blues from John Fogerty, founder member of Creedence Clearwater Revival and a solo force in his own right. Fogerty was the man behind classics like Proud Mary, Rockin' All Over the World and Bad Moon Rising, which he has recently reclaimed ownership of. His last Glastonbury set was 18 years ago, where he dug deep into the CCR vault, and now he returns to the Pyramid Stage.

Prepare for synthesisers at full tilt as post-punk and electronic pioneer Gary Numan takes to the Park Stage, making his Glastonbury debut. His sound has shifted over the years, ranging from jazz-funk to synth-pop, so expect a setlist covering all bases for this artist who helped push electronic music into the mainstream with his number one hits Are 'Friends' Electric? and Cars.

Tonight's concluding double bill packs a punch with two acts worlds apart but equally intense. First up are Australian punk firebrands Amyl and the Sniffers hit Glastonbury with raw, high-octane energy that'll leave the audience at the Other Stage breathless. Then, Portishead vocalist and frontwoman Beth Gibbons cools things down on the Park Stage with her haunting trip-hop, mixing deep introspection and soul-soothing vibes.

Lauren Laverne and Jo Whiley introduce south London singer-songwriter Raye, who takes to the Pyramid Stage as the penultimate artist on the Saturday night bill. Since her last visit to Worthy Farm in 2023, she's had sold-out tours, a critically acclaimed show at the Royal Albert Hall, Grammy nominations, won a record-breaking six BRIT awards and most recently collaborated with musician and producer Mark Ronson.

Lauren Laverne and Jo Whiley present coverage of Saturday night at the Glastonbury Festival, with Raye, Neil Young and the Chrome Hearts, and Charli XCX due to take to the stage.

Jack Saunders presents live as multi-Brit and Grammy award-winning pop icon Charli XCX headlines the Other Stage. With one of the most hyped sets of the weekend, the global superstar became the creator of a cultural phenomenon when she released her number 1 album BRAT in 2024 and this year sees her bring hits like Apple, Von dutch and 365 to Worthy Farm.

Disco pop rockers Scissor Sisters return to Worthy Farm for an energetic glitter-infused hits set.

A look back on all of the big performances of day two at the festival, including special guests, a recap on the headliners and all the big stories from around Worthy Farm.

Clara Amfo and Lauren Laverne present coverage of the final day of the festival, introducing all the stories from Sunday afternoon on the farm. Purveyors of timeless hits Nile Rodgers & Chic bring the disco tunes for what's bound to be an hour of crowd sing-a-longs on the Pyramid Stage, including the traditional annual flash mob dance to Le Freak. Plus, highlights of main stage acts including soul singer Celeste, indie stalwarts the Libertines and Rod Stewart in the annual Sunday teatime legend slot.

BBC Four begins its final night of coverage of the Glastonbury Festival, beginning with the soulful voice of Celeste. An award-winning British singer with a timeless sound, she has drawn comparisons to Billie Holiday and Amy Winehouse, but she brings a style all of her own. Last seen at West Holts in 2022, she now returns to Glastonbury's biggest stage, offering silky vocals and heartfelt lyrics from the Pyramid Stage.

Clara Amfo and Lauren Laverne present coverage of Rod Stewart's Pyramid Stage performance, marking the singer's first appearance at the festival in over 20 years, having previously headlined the festival in 2002. Expect classic songs like Maggie May, You Wear It Well and Do Ya Think I'm Sexy? for the Glastonbury tea-time revellers.

First up are British funk pioneers Cymande, whose rhythmic grooves have been sampled by hip-hop legends like De La Soul, the Fugees and Queen Latifah. After years in the shadows, a new wave of appreciation brings them to Glastonbury for a long-awaited debut the West Holts stage. They are followed by reggae royalty as Black Uhuru step up with a set spanning more than five decades. Expect a politically-charged, roots-driven performance that will resonate with longtime fans and new ones alike.

Clara Amfo, Jack Saunders and Jo Whiley present performances to perfectly soundtrack a Sunday evening, including heading over to the Other Stage for indie rock band Wolf Alice, while rapper AJ Tracey appears in the Woodsies area. An American takeover of the Pyramid Stage kicks off with the raw lyrics and rousing tunes of Vermont singer-songwriter Noah Kahan, while headliner Olivia Rodrigo brings this year's proceedings to a close.

BBC Four brings another Glastonbury double bill, kicking off with Snow Patrol on the Other Stage. Their last appearance at the festival more than two decades ago, and the band return with a set full of anthems, fresh tracks and the kind of singalongs that have soundtracked a generation. Then it's over to the Woodsies area for St. Vincent, a bold, genre-blending performer whose sound fuses indie rock, pop, jazz and more. With influences ranging from Bowie to Kate Bush, she promises a set full of theatrical flair and sonic surprises.

What better way to close BBC Four's Glastonbury coverage than with original rave pioneers the Prodigy. Their first appearance at the festival since the passing of iconic frontman Keith Flint in 2019, the band's headline set on the Other Stage promises to be both electric and emotional. Undoubtedly Liam Howlett and Maxim will bring the fire - and the spirit of Keith - to what promises to be an unforgettable live finale.

Jo Whiley, Jack Saunders and Clara Amfo introduce the Sunday night Pyramid Stage headline performance, Grammy and BRIT award-winning global megastar Olivia Rodrigo. Amidst a world tour, she makes a welcome return to the farm having first performed at the festival on the Other Stage in 2022, and this year marks a new world record by headlining 18 festivals around the globe.
