Glastonbury is live from Worthy Farm this weekend!
Worthy Farm Global Livestream 22nd May with encore streams on 23rd May

Public Statement from Glastonbury
It was an extraordinary and disappointing weekend where many people were unable to access the live stream this weekend to watch Glastonbury. I for one didn’t get to see it, but my ticket was through the 02 Priority app so no refund available for me. To anyone who would like a refund, fill your details using the link mentioned by Emily Eavis. My heart goes out to all of the organisers who helped make this an amazing weekend.

Emily Eavis said: “After two Glastonbury cancellations, it brings us great pleasure to announce our first online livestream, which will present live music performances filmed across Worthy Farm at landmarks including the Pyramid and, for the first time ever, the Stone Circle. It will feature a rolling cast of artists and performers who have all given us enormous support by agreeing to take part in this event, showing the farm as you have never seen it. There will also be some very special guest appearances and collaborations. We are hoping this will bring a bit of Glastonbury to your homes and that for one night only people all over the world will be able to join us on this journey through the farm together!”
Shot by acclaimed Grammy-nominated director Paul Dugdale, the hugely ambitious production will take viewers on a journey of the world famous Glastonbury site, which typically greets more than 200,000 people each June. The show will be co-promoted and produced by the pioneering UK livestream business Driift, who have hosted globally successful livestreams for artists including Laura Marling, Nick Cave, Biffy Clyro, Niall Horan and Kylie Minogue, and BBC Studios Productions.

Can I share my link with a friend?

If someone else tries to access the show via your link, you will be kicked out of the stream. We recommend accessing your stream in advance of the start time to make sure that it works properly.
What if I am late?
Please join the livestream as you normally would have done. Even if you miss the beginning, we allow rewind functionality, so you’ll be able to rewind and enjoy the full show. If you arrive considerably later after the scheduled start time, but still arrive before the scheduled end time, the same applies, you’re still able to press play and rewind back to your desired point in the stream.
If you arrive after the scheduled end time, your code and access to the livestream will still be valid until a while after the event is scheduled to finish, and then you can rewind to the beginning. If you’ve arrived too late and your code isn’t allowing access, we’re sorry but we’re unable to offer a refund.
Can I watch on my phone, tablet and my computer?
Yes, you should be able to view the stream from any modern web or mobile browser that is connected to the internet – simply click the link we send you & you should be taken to the stream.
If you have a Play Station, X Box, Smart TV, Fire Stick or other device that has a web browser & is connected to the internet, you can type the URL link we send you into that browser & then access the stream using your code. Please remember though that each link can only be used to stream this event on one device at a time.
Can I cast or mirror the livestream to my Smart TV?
If you have a Smart TV, you should be able to cast the stream to your TV using Apple Airplay or Google Chromecast (3rd Generation or later). Unfortunately, Chromecast 2nd generation or older may not be compatible with our stream player and your TV.

Can I show the livestream on my TV which is NOT a Smart TV?
If you do not have a Smart TV, or are unable to cast using the methods above, you may wish to try using an HDMI cable to connect to your TV if it still has an HDMI port. You will probably need to follow the manufacturer’s instructions, but the following two articles are quite helpful too:
What are the recommended web browsers?
We’d recommend Chrome, Safari or Edge browsers, although many others will work just fine.
What connection speed do I need to livestream the show?
Live At Worthy Farm is a high-quality video stream. The maximum quality available is 1080p Full HD. To check your connection speed, please go to a speed test site such as www.fast.com.
Will there be sub-titles or closed captions for deaf & hard of hearing fans?
Please contact info@driift.live to register your interest and we’ll be in touch.
Is there anything else I need to do before the show?
We recommend that you check your WiFi router is working properly & you can connect to the internet ok. Aside from that, don’t forget to put some drinks in the fridge & order that pizza……
Can I rewind to specific sets to watch?
Yes. The setlist with set times will be on the page below the video so you’ll know where to skip back to. You’re able to rewind and fast forward (up to the live point) as much as you like. Please be aware that after five hours beyond the scheduled end time, the video will cease to play on the Livestream event page, and the rewind feature will no longer be available.
Can I pause the livestream whilst doing something else?
Yes. We’ll pause the stream for you until your press play again. Tap or select the pause button in the bottom left of the player. Please be aware that after five hours beyond the scheduled end time, the video will cease to play on the Livestream event page, and the pause feature will no longer be available.
I have questions about the poster I ordered with my tickets
If you have ordered a ticket + poster bundle, your poster will be despatched by Sandbag. If you would like to purchase additional posters, please head over to the Glastonbury webshop HERE.
I purchased a ticket but can no longer attend. Can I get a refund?
Unfortunately, this event is non-refundable.
Can I record the show?
Audio or video recording on your own device is strictly prohibited. Knowledge of such actions, including posting a video of the stream, can hurt your chances of being able to view or access virtual events in the future.
Can I add a donation to my booking, and where will it go?
When booking a ticket for the Livestream, you will be given the option to add a donation to your order, in denominations of 2, 5 and 10 of the currency you are booking in.
Your donations will be split equally between the Festival’s main three supported causes, Oxfam, Greenpeace and WaterAid.
The Festival’s joint charities share a common goal of working together for people and the planet, by taking action against some of the biggest challenges of our time like climate change and the impact of the pandemic. Together, we are working with communities around the world who have been hit the hardest, to deliver solutions that save lives and overcome injustice, but we need your help to make a real difference.
Just a £5 donation could help pay for a tap to pipe clean water to a household in Southern Africa, changing the lives of a whole family whilst £10 could buy a hygiene kit with the basics everyone needs to survive and thrive from soap to sanitary pads. Please give what you can.
