FOR those who missed out on Glastonbury tickets this year – or who prefer to watch from the comfort of their own homes – the BBC has announced a special celebration of the Somerset festival.

As well as more than 90 hours of live performances from Worthy Farm, the broadcaster is also hosting a two-month celebration of Glastonbury throughout June and July across TV, BBC iPlayer, radio and BBC Sounds.

Lorna Clarke, BBC director of music, said: “This year, we’re making it easier than ever for millions of music fans to access Glastonbury’s standout moments, while also giving them the freedom to explore the festival their way – Glastonbury is theirs and the BBC brings it to them.

“I would like to thank Emily and Michael Eavis once again for allowing us this exclusive access to their very special creation, as only the BBC can bring the nation together to enjoy their beloved festival.”

The roster of BBC broadcasters this year, across all platforms, is: Anita Rani, Annie Macmanus, Arielle Free, Cerys Matthews, Clara Amfo, Craig Charles, Danni Diston, Danny Howard, Deb Grant, Dermot O’Leary, DJ Target, Gilles Peterson, Greg James, Huw Stephens, Jack Saunders, Jamz Supernova, Jo Whiley, Lauren Laverne, Matt Everitt, Nathan Shepherd, Nick Grimshaw, Sam MacGregor, Sarah Story, Steve Lamacq and Zoe Ball.
