Now all the music lovers across the globe can enjoy the celebration from the comfort and safety of their homes.
Glastonbury 2021 will be filmed across the Festival’s Worthy Farm site, at landmarks including the Pyramid Field and the Stone Circle. The event has a range of performers, including Coldplay, Damon Albarn, HAIM, IDLES, Jorja Smith, Kano, Michael Kiwanuka, Wolf Alice, and DJ Honey Dijon. A number of unannounced surprise performances are also in store.
Co-organizer Emily Eavis, in a statement, said, “After two Glastonbury cancellations, it brings us great pleasure to announce our first online live stream. It will feature a rolling cast of artists and performers who have all given us enormous support by agreeing to take part in this event, showing the farm as you have never seen it. There will also be some very special guest appearances and collaborations. We are hoping this will bring a bit of Glastonbury to your homes and that for one night only people all over the world will be able to join us on this journey through the farm together!”
