Glastonbury Experience 2020: How to watch and listen

Glastonbury weekend may not be what we're used to this year, but you can still get into the festival feeling at home. The Glastonbury Experience on the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ will mark the 50th anniversary of the legendary festival in style, with hours of classic performances and footage airing across TV, radio and online.

Here's how you can keep up with all the action...

Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Two will be airing a 90 minute live programme each night of Glastonbury weekend (Friday to Sunday), with Jo Whiley and Mark Radcliffe presenting Friday’s programme and Clara Amfo and Lauren Laverne hosting on Saturday and Sunday. Jo and Mark will also pay tribute to Glastonbury’s famed Sunday afternoon ‘Legends’ slot with a special programme early Sunday evening, taking a look back at the many legendary artists to have graced that much loved festival slot.

Over on Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Four, there will be three programmes featuring the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's intimate Glasto backstage live sessions. These will include acoustic performances from Ed Sheeran, Dua Lipa, Kano, Leon Bridges, Patti Smith, Richie Havens and Youssou N’Dour.
