Glastonbury everything you need to know: weather forecast and how to watch

Britain’s greatest music festival is here. Somerset’s Worthy Farm is a hive of activity. The pennants have been hoisted and the usually quiet dairy farm has transformed into the epicentre of the UK’s live entertainment scene for five days. 

Elton John, Arctic Monkeys (now fighting fit after Alex Turner’s laryngitis forced the band to cancel a Dublin show) and Guns ‘N’ Roses lead the charge, with US rapper Lizzo holding her own among this heavy musical artillery. You can find the complete line-up here.  

What is the weather doing?

Of course, the Glastonbury experience is as much determined by the weather as the acts. 2022’s festival was relatively dry, especially in comparison to the quagmires of yesteryear, and many will be hoping the current spell of fine sunshine continues. 

Friday was hot and Saturday is set to be hotter, with temperatures of 26C and no cloud. Any worry of thunderstorms on Sunday seems to have passed, as that’ll be warm and sunny too, with a max temperature of 25C.

How to watch? 

Didn’t get tickets? You’re not alone – tickets sold out in just six minutes. 

Fortunately, you can keep up with the excitement via the BBC. The broadcaster has already confirmed fans can follow the festival with more than 40 hours of live video, including all the main sets, and 85 hours of live radio. 

In addition, as with last year, you catch up with anything missed on the dedicated channel on BBC iPlayer. Footage will remain on the platform for 30 days afterwards, too. 

And don’t forget the Telegraph’s Glastonbury live blog – the best place to find authoritative news, reaction and reviews.
