BBC will air Neil Young's Glastonbury set in sudden change of schedule plans
It has been announced that Neil Young's Glastonbury performance will be aired on the BBC tonight after all. Neil Young has made a full 180 decision over his headline performance at Glastonbury, which is taking place at the Pyramid stage later tonight. In a whiplash-inducing turn of events, the BBC will in fact air the musician's performance, after it was announced earlier this week that Young had requested his set not be televised live. A BBC spokesperson said: "We are delighted to confirm that Neil Young's headline set from Glastonbury on Saturday will be broadcast live to audiences across the UK on the BBC.' Viewers will be able to watch the performance on iPlayer's Pyramid Stage stream from 10pm, as well as BBC Two and Radio 2. On-demand plans continue to be finalised, reported The Mirror. Young announced last year he would play Glastonbury in 2025, only to retract his decision upon learning of the BBC's involvement. However, he later changed his mind. BBC presenter Colin Paterson explained earlier this week: "I asked [event co-organiser] Emily Eavis what was going on and she says she does not believe that Neil Young's set will be broadcast by the BBC. "There's been all kinds of backstage wrangling and negotiations, but as things currently stand, Neil Young's headline set on Saturday night will not be broadcast by the BBC. Instead, they'll be showing Charli xcx." When Young played Glastonbury in 2009, only five songs were televised. Speaking at the time Mark Cooper, then executive producer of the BBC's Glastonbury coverage, said: 'Neil Young's career has been conducted on his own terms. They believe in the live event and retaining its mystery and that of their artist. "They have decided to make one song available online over the weekend to give a flavour of his set. That's Rockin' in the Free World and that's their decision. You probably won't find too many Neil Young performances available freely on TV or online.' In another development, fans are now fearful after his last two European shows in Bergen, Norway, and Copenhagen, Denmark, were hit with sound problems. Fans complained about a poor vocal mix during the show, and some were also unhappy that on at least one of those shows, Neil didn't have any large screens for fans to see the action from the back of the crowd. BBC bosses are said to be treading carefully after the star pulled out of the festival earlier this year citing concerns about the BBC's 'corporate control'. He said in January: 'We were told that BBC was now a partner in Glastonbury and wanted us to do a lot of things in a way we were not interested in. It seems Glastonbury is now under corporate control and is not the way I remember it being.' A BBC spokeswoman said: 'We aim to bring audiences as many performances as possible from the Pyramid Stage, and our schedules and plans continue to be finalised, right up to and during the festival.' Young has voiced his concerns, making principled stands recently. He blocked his music from Spotify for two years, saying a podcaster on the platform had spread vaccine misinformation.

Neil Young's headline set at Glastonbury to be shown live BBC says
A spokesperson for the BBC said: 'We are delighted to confirm that Neil Young's headline set from Glastonbury on Saturday will be broadcast live to audiences across the UK on the BBC.' Young's set will be shown on the BBC iPlayer Pyramid Stage stream from 10pm, as well as broadcast on BBC Two and BBC Radio 2. The 79-year-old is due to perform on the Pyramid Stage at Worthy Farm on Saturday night with his band the Chrome Hearts. The singer, who began his career in the 1960s with the band Buffalo Springfield, previously said he had initially turned down the offer to perform at the festival, saying it was 'under corporate control' of the BBC in a message on his website. (Image: PA) But Young later backtracked and was announced as one of the headliners saying he had 'always loved' the event and he was looking forward to performing. Young is best known for songs such as Rockin' In The Free World, Cinnamon Girl and Like A Hurricane, and albums such as Zuma, Harvest and After The Gold Rush.

Neil Young's Glastonbury set will be screened live
In a reversal of its previous decision, Neil Young's headline set at Glastonbury Festival will now be shown live on the BBC on Saturday night, the BBC has announced. The corporation had previously said that the Canadian rock veteran's set would not be broadcast live "at the artist's request". A spokesperson said: "We are delighted to confirm that Neil Young's headline set from Glastonbury on Saturday will be broadcast live to audiences across the UK on the BBC." Young's set will be shown on the BBC iPlayer Pyramid Stage stream from 10pm, as well as broadcast on BBC Two and BBC Radio 2. A spokesperson said: "We are delighted to confirm that Neil Young's headline set from Glastonbury on Saturday will be broadcast live to audiences across the UK on the BBC." The 79-year-old, who recently played Malahide Castle with Van Morrison, will be part of the five-day celebration of performing arts and music with his band the Chrome Hearts. Earlier in the year the singer, who began his career in the 1960s with the band Buffalo Springfield, said he had initially turned down the offer to perform at the festival, saying it was "under corporate control" of the BBC in a message on his website. But he then backtracked and was announced as one of the headliners, saying he had "always loved" the event and he was looking forward to performing. Young last played Glastonbury in 2009.
