But if you can’t make it due to rail strikes or weren’t lucky enough to secure a ticket this year, how and when can you watch Glastonbury at home?

Here is everything you need to know so you don’t miss any of the action.

If you can’t watch, don’t worry, the BBC has got you covered with a dedicated section on its BBC Sounds app, as well as All Day Glastonbury playing on 6 Music from Wednesday. There will also be extensive coverage on Radio 1, Radio 1Xtra and Radio 2.

Lorna Clarke, BBC Director of Music, said: ‘I’m very proud of the BBC’s long history of broadcasting from Glastonbury, the highlight of our Summer of Live Music.

‘Our coverage this year will be our most extensive to date, with over 35 hours of programming across BBC One, Two, Three and Four, and over 40 hours on BBC iPlayer – in addition to digital live streams from the five biggest festival stages.

‘We’ll also have wall-to-wall coverage on the BBC’s pop radio networks and BBC Sounds – with over 60 hours of broadcasts from the festival itself.

‘For the first time, we’ll be showing sets from the Pyramid stage in Ultra High Definition, a fantastic progression in our Glastonbury story, which aims to help audiences access every epic musical moment.’
