Even if you’re not at the festival, you can enjoy the live music performances from the Glastonbury Festival 2023 thanks to the BBC iPlayer. However, if you’re not in the United Kingdom, you’ll need to use a VPN (virtual private network) to unblock access to the streaming service.
We’ve put together this guide to help you watch Glastonbury 2023 for free from anywhere in the world.
How to Watch Glastonbury Festival 2023 Online For Free
BBC Two will bring the magic of Glastonbury right to your TV screens. However, if you’ve cut the cord, you can use the BBC iPlayer, its online streaming service, instead. The iPlayer will carry all of the BBC’s television coverage online.
To make things better, the BBC iPlayer is a completely free service. All you need to do is sign up for a free account.
However, BBC iPlayer restricts its content to the United Kingdom. This means fans from outside the region won’t be able to access the 2023 Glastonbury Festival live stream. This is especially frustrating since there are no other official streams or broadcasters.
Luckily, you can overcome geo-blocks with a VPN, which lets you change your IP address. You can connect to a UK server in seconds and make it seem like you’re accessing the internet from within the UK.
If you’re outside the UK, follow these steps to enjoy Glastonbury from wherever you are in the world:
