Glastonbury 2024: Your ultimate sofa-side festival guide

As 200,000 revellers descend on Worthy Farm for Glastonbury 2024, thousands more will be tuning in from the comfort of their homes. Thanks to the BBC's comprehensive coverage [cough and ours on readdork.com - Ed], you won't have to miss a beat of the iconic festival. This year's lineup boasts Dua Lipa, Coldplay, and SZA as headliners, with country-pop legend Shania Twain filling the coveted Sunday Legends Slot.

The BBC is pulling out all the stops to bring the Glastonbury experience to your living room. Across BBC One, BBC Two, and BBC Four, viewers can catch their favourite artists performing on the festival's main stages. But the television coverage is just the beginning.

BBC iPlayer will host a dedicated Glastonbury Channel, running from midday on Friday through Sunday evening, offering a continuous stream of live performances, exclusive interviews, and behind-the-scenes glimpses. New for 2024 is Glastonbury Channel II, a catch-up service for the day's most talked-about performances. You can also enjoy livestreams of most sets from the five major stages - Pyramid, Other, Park, West Holts, and Woodsies - directly on iPlayer, with British Sign Language interpretation available for Pyramid Stage performances. You can find all the iPlayer action here.

BBC TV coverage kicks off at 7:30pm on BBC Two, warming up the audience with performances from the Sugababes and Paul Heaton. BBC Four joins the party at the same time, offering alternative viewing with Paul Heaton and the Sugababes from the Pyramid and West Holts stages. At 9pm, BBC Four switches to Dexys and PJ Harvey, while BBC Two continues its build-up to the main event.

The evening culminates with Dua Lipa's headline set on the Pyramid Stage, broadcast on BBC One from 10:30pm. For those seeking a rockier alternative, IDLES will be tearing up BBC Four from 10:15pm.

On BBC Radio 1, Jamie Laing, Vick Hope, and Katie Thistleton will be reporting live throughout the day, with the station also broadcasting Dua Lipa's full headline set. Over on Radio 2, Zoe Ball hosts her Breakfast Show live from Worthy Farm, bringing listeners the festival atmosphere bright and early.
