Whether The 1975, Neil Young and Olivia Rodrigo do it for you or not, Glastonbury is so much more than its headliners. Kneecap, Charli XCX and Alanis Morisette are poised to steal the show at Worthy Farm — and that's before we get to the secret acts.

You can watch Glastonbury live streams from anywhere with a VPN and for FREE.

There could be as many as three high-profile mystery artists performing at the world-famous festival this year, one under the pseudonym 'Patchwork'. No such band exists, but that's who's earmarked for the Pyramid Stage from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. ET on the Saturday, an extremely prominent slot.

Haim, Lady Gaga, Pulp, Lewis Capaldi, Robbie Williams, Mumford & Sons and even Oasis have been linked with it, but that's not the only slot that needs filling. On the Friday, there's an empty slot on the Pyramid Stage from 11:55 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. ET, and on Woodsies from 6:30 a.m. to 7:15 a.m. ET.

Some notable confirmed acts to keep an eye out for include English Teacher, Father John Misty, Wet Leg, Raye, Loyle Carner, Blossoms, Nick Lowe and, especially for "Sopranos" fans, Alabama 3. Don't be afraid to try to catch some unknowns too. David Bowie played to an empty field when he first performed at Glastonbury in 1971.

Here's how to watch Glastonbury live streams for free from anywhere. Scroll down for the full lineup on the main stages.

Can you watch 2025 Glastonbury live streams in the U.S., Australia or Canada?

Famously, Glastonbury is only shown in the U.K.. However, the BBC broke with tradition last year by live streaming Dua Lipa and Coldplay’s sets globally on BBC.com.

At the time of publication, the BBC hasn't revealed if it has something similar planned for 2025. Don't stress, we'll make sure you're in the loop with Glastonbury announcements right here.

If you're currently on holiday in the U.S., Australia or Canada from the U.K., one of the best VPN services will help tap into your FREE home coverage of Glastonbury 2025. We recommend NordVPN.
