This year you can enjoy the Glastonbury Festival in high def, so it’ll be just like being there but without the mud. The BBC is beaming more than 30 hours of live coverage of the 2007 event, much of it in HD, with the rest spread across BBC Two, Three and Four and BBC radio.
Coverage promises the best from the Somerset site’s stages, including the Pyramid, Other, John Peel and Jazz/World stages. There are special acoustic performances and reports from all around Worthy Farm.
It all starts with an introductory show on Friday 22 June, with live headline acts from the Pyramid Stage on each night of the weekend. This year the big names in the line-up include Arctic Monkeys, The Killers and The Who, which should all make it into the three nightly HD broadcasts starting at 8pm.
On top of that, there are interactive streams via digital TV red button features, offering four different choices and a chance to catch highlights that you may have missed when they were going out live. So, enjoy Glastonbury in the dry before BBC HD switches to blanket Wimbledon coverage for the next two weeks, and the likely chance of even more rain.
