The 1975 at Glastonbury: Preview
Chart-toppers The 1975 will kick off a weekend of explosive headline performances on Friday, June 27, taking a coveted top spot on Glastonbury’s Pyramid Stage. Ahead of Neil Young and Olivia Rodriguez, they’ll dazzle the crowd with a no-doubt pyrotechnic stage show featuring an hour-and-a-half-long set of songs like “Sex” “The Sound,” and “Give Yourself a Try.” Stream the whole thing – and in glorious Ultra High Definition – with our guide below where we explain how to watch The 1975 at Glastonbury online for free with BBC iPlayer and from anywhere.
Broadly defined as pop-rock, UK band The 1975 have received global acclaim since the release of their self-titled debut album in 2013, which introduced fans to their most well-known track to date, “Chocolate.” Despite criticism from some quarters – including Oasis singer Liam Gallagher – for not conforming to the classic rock mould, they’ve scored five consecutive UK number 1 albums, won multiple Brit Awards, and been praised for their musical eclecticism, with Billboard hailing them as “the most ambitious pop-rock band of their generation.”
FREE on BBC iPlayer via the Glastonbury hub, live or on-demand shortly after each broadcast. It’s free to sign-up for a BBC iPlayer account. All you need is an email address and a UK postcode (e.g. BA4 4BY). You should also have a valid TV licence.

How to watch The 1975 at Glastonbury from anywhere
If you’re a UK citizen on vacation or working overseas, you can still live stream Glastonbury just as you would at home.
While BBC iPlayer is for licence fee-paying Brits and blocks access from IP addresses outside of the UK, there’s a handy piece of software called a VPN which can change your IP address and allow you to watch UK TV online, making it look like you’re accessing streaming services from any country in the world.
For example, UK citizens in the States can subscribe to a VPN, join a UK-based server and tune into all the programmes on BBC iPlayer from anywhere in the world, just like you would back home.
How To Use A VPN To Unblock Streaming Services:
1. Choose your ideal VPN and install – our go-to recommendation for unblocking is NordVPN, costing from just $3.69 a month with its 2-year plan
2. Connect to a server – for BBC iPlayer, for example, you’ll want to connect to a server located in the UK
3. Stream away! – login to your streaming service – BBC iPlayer in this instance – and stream like you were in your home country

Has The 1975 Played Glastonbury Before?
Glastonbury Festival’s 2025 edition is the first time The 1975 have headlined. But the pop-rock band have attended the festival before on three other occasions, including in 2016 with a set on the Other Stage.
Why Do They Call Themselves The 1975?
Frontman Matty Healy settled on the band’s current name when he found a pre-owned copy of the 1957 novel On The Road – a classic work of American literature – whose scribblings included the oddly inscribed date “1 June, The 1975” on its pages.
