Glastonbury Festival is the largest greenfield music and performing arts festival in the world, and one of Britain's defining cultural events – known for its iconic fashion as well as its unique atmosphere and memorable acts.

Here are the best ways to watch the livestreams on 28 and 29 June, and enjoy front-row seats to one of the world's biggest festivals. 

What time does the livestream start?

The livestream will be made available shortly before Dua Lipa's live performance on Friday, 28 June from 5-6:45 pm EST and Coldplay's live set on Saturday, 29 June from 4:45-6:45 pm EST, both at http://www.bbc.com/pages/glastonbury-live.

Please note that this scheduled time does not account for unexpected delays that can occur because of the nature of live music events.

What devices can I watch the stream on?

The livestream will be available to watch via a web browser on your laptop, tablet or mobile device. You can access the stream by visiting http://www.bbc.com/pages/glastonbury-live in a web browser or by following the link in the latest release of the BBC mobile app.

Will other performances be available as well?

No, we will only livestream Dua Lipa and Coldplay.

Will the full set be available to watch later?

Yes, the full sets for Dua Lipa and Coldplay will be available on demand. We aim to have the streams ready within 24 hours after the concerts conclude, although there may be instances where this process takes longer.  The sets will then be online for a short time on https://www.bbc.com/video.

Will the stream be available in UHD?

No, the stream will only be made available at a maximum resolution of HD (720p).

Why does it not match the same coverage as what's available in the UK?

Contractual obligations mean that we are unable to show wider festival coverage outside of the UK. The livestream of Dua Lipa and Coldplay's performances shown on bbc.com will match the live coverage streamed to UK audiences.

I'm having technical problems with the stream – what can I do?

Buffering can sometimes be caused by the connection between your router and your device. To play the stream smoothly and without interruption, you'll need a good internet connection.

Here are some suggestions for improving your internet connection:

· Disconnect other devices using the same network

· If possible, try an alternative browser

· If possible, try a wired connection

You can also contact our technical support team here: https://www.bbc.com/contact-bbc-com-help  

Is there a cost to watch the livestream?

No, there is no associated cost or payment required to watch the livestream of Dua Lipa or Coldplay's performances.

Can I watch the livestream from any country?

Yes, the livestream of Dua Lipa and Coldplay's performances is available in all countries with access to the bbc.com website or mobile app.

Can I watch the livestream from the beginning if I join the stream after the event has started?

No, unfortunately contractual agreements do not allow viewers to rewind the livestream, only to watch it live.
