Promising bucket hats full of nostalgia, “Glastonbury: 90s Hits” is the third of three episodes replaying Glastonbury’s most crowd-pleasing moments across the 70s, 80s and, finally, 90s.
Some of our favorite bands hit superstardom during these years. Oasis debuted in 1994, wowing the crowds with songs like “Supersonic” before returning the next year as bona fide legends, alongside Pulp, who replaced The Stone Roses on the Pyramid Stage when that band pulled out, and which saw Jarvis Cocker lead festival goers in a barnstorming singalong to “Common People”.
It was the decade that first provided TV coverage of the festival, which allowed for the electrifying live sets of artists like Robbie Williams, Bob Dylan, R.E.M., Skunk Anansie, and Radiohead to be broadcast out of waterlogged fields (1997 was famously known as “The Year of the Mud”) and into homes across the U.K.
So, put your rose-tinted glasses on for this nineties throwback, and watch “Glastonbury: 90s Hits” online with our following guide – and 100% FREE with BBC iPlayer.
