Glastonbury Festival organizers have announced Live At Worthy Farm, a five-hour livestream on Saturday, May 22nd aimed to ease the pains of the U.K. mega-fest’s fans after cancellations in both 2020 and 2021.
Filmed across the festival’s Worthy Farm site at landmarks including the Pyramid Field and the Stone Circle, the event will feature performances from a number of Glastonbury vets including Coldplay, Damon Albarn, HAIM, IDLES, Jorja Smith, Kano, Michael Kiwanuka, Wolf Alice, and DJ Honey Dijon, who will all perform as part of an uninterrupted film production. There will also be a number of unannounced surprise performances.
Shot by Grammy-nominated director Paul Dugdale, the ambitious production will take viewers on a journey of the world famous Glastonbury site, which typically greets more than 200,000 people each June. The show will be co-promoted and produced by the pioneering UK livestream business Driift.
As Glastonbury organizer Emily Eavis notes in a statement, “After two Glastonbury cancellations, it brings us great pleasure to announce our first 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. There will also be some very special guest appearances and collaborations. We are hoping this will bring a bit of Glastonbury to your homes and that for one night only people all over the world will be able to join us on this journey through the farm together!”
