Overview

  • Neil Young’s headline slot at Worthy Farm on June 28 is currently missing from the BBC’s official coverage plans.
  • Festival co-organiser Emily Eavis said she “does not believe” the broadcaster will air his set following stalled negotiations over creative control.
  • The BBC has not explained why Young was omitted and maintains it aims to televise as many Pyramid Stage acts as possible.
  • Charli XCX’s simultaneous Other Stage performance has been included in the BBC’s late-night lineup for June 28.
  • Young initially withdrew from Glastonbury in January over concerns about the festival’s BBC partnership and later rejoined after calling the dispute a misunderstanding.
