麻豆约拍

To mark what would have been the Glastonbury weekend the 麻豆约拍 is bringing you The Glastonbury Experience featuring over 100 archive performances available to watch on 麻豆约拍 iPlayer or listen to on 麻豆约拍 Sounds and a dedicated channel showing nothing but great performances from the Glastonbury archives from Thursday 25th to Monday 29th June.

You can get planning your Glastonbury viewing with our handy schedule but to get you started we've picked out a handful of artists appearing today who are not to be missed.

Thursday at Glastonbury is usually when you ease yourself into the festival weekend, but not this year. We're bringing you all the action from previous years from the very get-go - including must-see sets from Radiohead, Little Simz and more.

Here are our picks for Thursday's action...

• How to watch and listen to all the Glastonbury 2020 action

One of the most accomplished and consistently brilliant singer-songwriters of the past decade, Laura Marling was scheduled to perform at Glastonbury 2020 before its cancellation, what would have been the Berkshire folk performer's fourth performance at the fest. She's pretty much a Glasto veteran at this point, first performing in 2008, again in 2011, culminating in a spellbinding and transfixing Pyramid Stage set in 2017.

Some of the greatest Glastonbury sets are when you can tell playing the festival truly means something to the artists themselves. That was clearly evident during Bristol punks IDLES' set on the Park Stage in 2017. "We’ve waited 12 years to play here," frontman Joe Talbot told the crowd during the set. "This is the best place on earth. I’ve stood where you are and cried to Thom Yorke, Battles, The Horrors. They changed my life, and I hope in some way we can change yours." Their resulting set was as urgent and life-affirming as we've come to expect from the band, and you just know they would have won plenty of new fans in the audience.

UK MC Little Simz recently labelled 2019 as the "best year" of her life. It's understandable, really: her third album 'Grey Area' was critically acclaimed - nominated for a Mercury Prize and winning an NME Award for Best British Album. Her Glastonbury 2019 set came just months after the career-high LP's release and saw Simz in a jubilant and triumphant mood. She even brought along a megaphone too, just to make extra sure her rhymes were heard at the very back of the West Holts crowd.

James Murphy and his New York band's grand goodbye tour of 2011 was meant to be a full-stop for the seminal dance-punk group, later documented in their live film, Shut Up and Play the Hits. But thankfully for the group's fans - and Glasto-goers in 2016 - it ended up not being the end of the band, with LCD Soundsystem returning reinvigorated in 2016 for a reunion tour ahead of a new album (what would become 2017's American Dream). The band, led by Murphy in a very slick all-white suite, turned in a stellar display during their Other Stage headline set at Glastonbury 2016, regaling and turning the clocks back with their timeless and seminal indie hits.

Regarded as one of the festival's all-time headline sets, as well as the definitive Radiohead live performance, Thom Yorke and his band's 1997 set almost never happened at all. The group's members have since revealed how burn out and technical difficulties marred the performance for them (Thom Yorke famously nearly walked off stage mid-set), but they are amongst the only ones. Coming just two weeks after the release of 'OK Computer', it was the sight of a band at the very peak of their powers.
