Glastonbury 2021: How to watch live stream of Live At Worthy Farm this year

The music festival at Worthy Farm was cancelled in 2020 as the government put a stop to large crowds gathering in a bid to stop the virus spreading.

And while the in-person event has been stopped again in 2021, organisers Michael and Emily Eavis will be broadcasting a livestream from the site in Pilton, Somerset.

The concert will be filmed across Worthy Farm featuring familiar landmarks such as the Pyramid Field and the Stone Circle and it will support Glastonbury’s three main charitable partners Oxfam, Greenpeace and WaterAid, as well as helping to secure the festival’s return in 2022.

Emily Eavis said: “After two Glastonbury cancellations, it brings us great pleasure to announce our online livestream, which will present live music performances filmed across Worthy Farm at landmarks including the Pyramid and, for the first time ever, the Stone Circle.

“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.”

How to watch Glastonbury 2021 live stream

If you're keen to watch this year's Glastonbury 2021 livestream, the first thing you'll need to do is buy a ticket from worthyfarm.live for the cost of £20.

Once your ticket is booked, you can rest assured that your place at the virtual festival is confirmed, but you won't receive details on how to stream Live At Worthy Farm straight away.

It has been confirmed each attendee will have a unique access code that enables them to enter the event and that this code can only be used by one person at a time, so you mustn't share it around.

The organisers also recommend that attendees tune into the stream for when it starts in their respective region (that's 7pm here in the UK), as there may not be any possible way to rewind during the show.

Your unique access code and a link to the stream will be emailed to you seven days before the event, so expect that to come through around 15th May 2021 (be sure to check your junk or spam folders if it doesn't appear).

Glastonbury webcam: How do I watch?

After purchasing tickets, people will be sent a unique booking which can be used to watch the event on one device at a time.

It can be streamed from any up-to-date web or mobile browser that is connected to the internet with recommended browsers being Chrome, Safari or Edge.

If you are planning to view via a Play Station, X Box, Smart TV, Fire Stick or other device that has a web browser and is connected to the internet, you can type in the URL link and access the livestream using your unique code.

It can also be cast on a Smart TV using Apple Airplay or Google Chromecast (3rd Generation or later). Chromecast 2nd generation or older may not be compatible.

The livestream will have a pause and rewind function meaning it can be viewed from the start if you log on late. However, you must log on before the end to use this function.

Glastonbury 2021 line-up: Who's performing?

Live At Worthy Farm has assembled a killer line-up which should have no trouble recreating the excitement of a typical Glastonbury Festival, with Coldplay getting top billing on the limited edition poster.

Music fans can also expect to see exclusive performances from the likes of Blur frontman Damon Albarn, rock groups HAIM, IDLES and Wolf Alice, as well as Jorja Smith, Kano and Michael Kiwanuka.

There will also be special guests throughout, although these are being kept secret for the time being, while superstar DJ Honey Dijon will also feature.

When is the next Glastonbury festival?

Much to the disappointment of fans, Glastonbury was cancelled in 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic and the decision was made to postpone the event again this year as the virus continues to spread.

The next Glastonbury Festival is scheduled to take place from Wednesday 22nd June to Sunday 26th June 2022, but tickets are sold out having rolled over twice since the event's first cancellation.
