Classic sets to be shown in place of 50th anniversary festival scuppered by coronavirus
The final weekend of June should have seen 200,000 revellers descend on Somerset for the 50th anniversary of the Glastonbury festival. With the event cancelled owing to the
Coronavirus pandemic, the
BBC has announced extensive broadcast plans celebrating the
British music institution from 25-29 June.
David Bowie’s headline set, from the year 2000, will be shown in full for the first time ever as part of the coverage across BBC Two, BBC Four and iPlayer. The coverage will also feature full headline performances from
Jay-Z,
Beyoncé, Adele and Coldplay.
