As we know, the worldwide renowned festival Glastonbury will take place as a live stream this year. Indeed, the event organisers already disclosed the schedule of the festival, taking place online on the 22nd of May and running for five uninterrupted hours: this broadcasted journey will see performances of Coldplay, Damon Albarn, Wolf Alice and IDLES, just to name a few. However, due to popular demand, the event is now running on two dates.
Originally set for one night only, the event could be seen online by purchasing a £20 ticket. Now, the festival has just announced that, due to popular demand, they booked extra broadcast slots and 2 pm and 7 pm BST on Sunday, May 23rd. Hence, fans are going to be able to watch the performances on the following day too. People who purchased the ticket for Saturday and want to swap it for Sunday can do it via this link.
Organiser Emily Eavis already commented on what to expect from this year’s Glastonbury: ‘We are going to take you on a journey through all of those spots that you know from Worthy Farm – the woods, the railway line, the stone circle, the pyramid, and it’s going to build into this epic journey around the site into the night.’ In. fact, the event will also present evocative performances from the Stone Circle, with Eavis herself teasing some ‘atmospheric performances’ that concert-goers will be able to enjoy from home, by inviting friends in their gardens to ‘have a moment and get into the spirit of the festival’.
Initially, Glastonbury was cancelled in January for the second consecutive year due to the ongoing COVID outbreak. Luckily, the event will now be streamed online, and in-person events are good to restart from June 21st following the UK Government staggered roadmap to take the country out of lockdowns.
