🌍 Watch Glastonbury outside the UK

If you want to catch up with everything that’s going on down on the farm from outside of the UK, you’ve got two options. Firstly, the BBC Music YouTube channel, as well as Glastonbury’s social media pages will be uploading highlights online.

The other option is to find a VPN which basically securely routes your internet connection through another country so that you can set it to a UK location and sit back and watch on iPlayer. This will help you circumvent the geo-blocking that will try to stop you from watching a Glastonbury livestream in particular parts of the world. Once you’ve made an account and installed the app, you’ll be able to watch Glastonbury Festival live on iPlayer all weekend – and for the next 30 days on catch-up.
