Glastonbury: How to watch Lil Nas X live at home

Lil Nas X Glastonbury Pyramid Stage

If you’re not lucky enough to be in the crowd at Glastonbury tonight, you’ve still got a multitude of options for watching the hugely anticipated appearance of Lil Nas X on the Pyramid Stage live from the comfort of your home.

They’re due to get started at 7 pm for a 1-hour-long set. It’s a Glasto debut for Lil Nas X, taking the subheadline slot before Elton John plays his final ever UK show on the stage at 9pm. While it’s the first time Lil Nas X has been on the line-up, he was at Glastonbury 2019 when he was a surprise guest during Miley Cyrus.

Click here to watch the live stream of the Pyramid Stage on BBC iPlayer, where Lil Nas X starts at 7pm tonight. Alternatively, open the iPlayer app on your smart TV where Glastonbury will probably pop up on the first page. If you’ve got a compatible TV, you’ll get the option to watch Lil Nas X in 4K Ultra HD.

If you miss the live stream, it’ll be available to watch on catch-up for 30 days. Highlights from his set will also be shown on BBC One at 9pm tonight.

Apart from Lil Nas X and Elton John, there’s plenty more to look forward to tonight with Rudimental headlining the West Holts Stage, Alt-J headlining the Park Stage and Queens of the Stone Age headlining the Other Stage. All will be shown live on BBC iPlayer. Click here for the full running order of every artist being shown live today, listed in time order.

Watch from outside the UK

Though the BBC’s iPlayer content is usually unavailable outside the UK, it’s easy to watch from abroad with a decent VPN. These apps can securely route your internet connection through another country, so if you tell the app to use UK servers, the websites you’re visiting will think you’re in the UK.

Some VPNs are blocked by the BBC, so you need to use a large reputable provider like NordVPN with a wide selection of different UK servers you can use to connect. If you do find one doesn’t work, simply switch to another.

Click here to go to NordVPN and get started. Once you’ve made an account and installed the app, you’ll be able to watch Glastonbury live on iPlayer all weekend – and for 30 days on catch-up.

Full list of Sunday’s live streams

This isn’t the only stage available to watch live online. The BBC are running official live streams of Glastonbury’s five biggest stages – along with a special 4K / UHD channel available on select devices. Check them out below.

Once the main music line-up gets underway on Friday, the BBC will run live streams from the five biggest stages on BBC iPlayer. Most of the sets from the Pyramid Stage, the Other Stage, the West Holts Stage, the Park Stage and Woodsies will be available live and on catch-up on iPlayer. In addition to this, there will be 40 hours of coverage on BBC TV channels and over 85 hours on BBC Radio. The Pyramid Stage coverage will be available in 4K Ultra HD.

Back in May, when the BBC’s plans for this year’s Glastonbury coverage were announced, Lorna Clarke, BBC Director of Music said: “Glastonbury 2023 will have even more live coverage from site, including a record number of hours on BBC One. There will be more programming in the lead-up, including an updated version of Glastonbury: 50 Years and Counting and more content to discover on BBC Sounds and BBC iPlayer. As always, scale and discovery is at the heart of our BBC Glastonbury coverage.

This year we’re proud to deliver over 40 hours of coverage across our TV channels to our audiences, as well as over 85 hours of live radio broadcasts, in addition to content on BBC Sounds. We’ll also be increasing the scale and accessibility of our BBC iPlayer offer, with even more themed and live streams. For the first time, we will be streaming Pyramid Stage performances live in British Sign Language, making our coverage more accessible than ever before. Our thanks once again go to Emily and Michael Eavis, for allowing us to bring their treasured festival to so many music fans throughout the weekend and beyond.”

Emily Eavis added: “We’ve worked in partnership with the BBC since 1997, and they’ve become an incredibly valuable part of what we do at Glastonbury. I think we’ve created something really special together and we’re delighted that they’re continuing to evolve their coverage with additions such as streaming Pyramid Stage performances live in British Sign Language. We’re looking forward to welcoming them to the farm in June and here’s to many more Glastonburys together.”
