The Glastonbury Festival of Contemporary Performing Arts is the largest greenfield music and performing arts festival in the world. The festival is best known for its contemporary music, but also features dance, comedy, theatre, circus, cabaret and many other arts. For 2005, the enclosed area of the festival was over 900 acres, had over 385 live performances and was attended by around 150,000 people. While the villagers of Pilton have been complaining about the noise generated during the weekend for many years, in 2007 over 700 acts played on over 80 stages. Glastonbury was heavily influenced by hippie ethics and the free festival movement in the 1970s, especially the Isle of Wight Festival.

2021x17 Glastonbury in the 90s

  • 2021-06-24T23:00:00Z2h

The 1990s was arguably Glastonbury’s redefining decade. From the arrival of Britpop to Robbie Williams to extreme weather conditions, it was the decade television cameras came, dance music conquered and the festival changed beyond all recognition.

Told through archival material from the time and by those who were there, and voiced by Skin from Skunk Anansie, who were the last headliners of the decade.

Throughout the 21st century, the Glastonbury Festival has become a global story - changing with the times, embracing new music and just generally getting bigger. Since the turn of the century, the festival has seen emerging global headliners such as Coldplay and The Killers, a wildly packed Chemical Brothers performance in 2000, the much-debated arrival of hip-hop with Jay Z in 2008, Beyonce’s game-changing performance in 2011, Kylie’s return and Stormzy’s defining headline set in 2019 - as well as those much-loved teatime legend slots. Dizzee Rascal narrates this musical journey through all things Worthy Farm in the 21st century.

2021x19 Legends of Glastonbury

2021x19 Legends of Glastonbury

  • 2021-06-26T23:00:00Z2h

Lauren Laverne introduces from the archive some of the most memorable performances from the legendary artists who have played Glastonbury Festival over the years. Artists include singer-songwriter Paul Simon from the Pyramid Stage in 2011, pop princess Kylie Minogue, London’s Nutty Boys Madness from 2009, South Africa’s Ladysmith Black Mambazo from 2000, sixties icons Crosby, Still and Nash, reggae legend Jimmy Cliff, grande dame of punk Pattie Smith from 2015, blues guitar great BB King, Chrissie Hynde’s Pretenders from 2017, double-denim kings of rock ‘n’ roll Status Quo, punk icons Blondie from 2014, pop and reggae superstar Eddy Grant, and Dame Shirley Bassey in her 2007 Pyramid Stage performance. Then, for good measure, the 2015 set by guitar heroes The Who and the ultimate living legend, Sir Paul McCartney, headlining the Pyramid Stage in 2004. Plus many more legends too numerous to mention.

Presented by Jo Whiley, this exclusive behind-the-scenes documentary follows director Paul Dugdale and the team as they put together the spectacular filmed event Live at Worthy Farm. The programme features interviews with Emily Eavis, some of the festival’s key creative talent, as well as the artists who performed, including Damon Albarn, Kano, Roisin Murphy, Wolf Alice, Kae Tempest and Coldplay. For many of them, due to Covid-19, it was their first opportunity to play live in over a year. The documentary offers unrestricted access to the production and tells the story of how Glastonbury’s very first festival without an audience was staged.

This year, yet again, Glastonbury Festival as we know it just wasn’t to be. Instead, back in May, a host of artists performed at Worthy Farm for a unique cinematic event that was streamed across the globe. Showcasing the very best of that ambitious production - shot by Grammy-nominated director Paul Dugdale - this programme takes viewers on a magical journey through performances filmed on location at Worthy Farm’s most famous landmarks, as well as some of its lesser-known, secret corners.

Artists featured include Coldplay, Damon Albarn, Haim, Idles, Jorja Smith, Kano, Wolf Alice, Michael Kiwanuka and Roisin Murphy, while spoken-word elements are provided by very special guests including PJ Harvey, Jarvis Cocker, Kae Tempest, George The Poet and Michael Eavis.

Documentary that tells the extraordinary journey of Joe Rush, Glastonbury’s 'waste alchemist' artist and the Mutoid Waste Company, his underground travelling art and party collective of wild, subversive performers, musicians and artists.

I Am a Mutoid offers a wealth of unseen archive from the Glastonbury Festival, the warehouse party scene, and art installations from London to Berlin.
