How to watch Glastonbury 2025 for FREE in Ireland
Want to watch Glastonbury Festival in Ireland? One of the biggest weekend's of music on the planet, boasting over 3,000 performances including Kneecap, the event has international appeal but exclusive streaming rights are held by the U.K.'s BBC iPlayer, making it the only platform you can catch the full festival experience live. For fans in Ireland, this means that watching Noah Kahan or Olivia Rodrigo's sets is seemingly inaccessible. Fear not as a good streaming VPN can make your device appear as if it is back in the U.K. so you can watch your usual free Glasto streams. In this quick and easy guide we'll show you how to watch Glastonbury live from Ireland with a good VPN. As alluded to previously, due to both copyright and distribution limitations, as well as the TV licence that British residents must pay annually to access BBC and other live content from other U.K. channels, there are geo-restrictions in place on BBC iPlayer. This means that Glastonbury is impossible to access from Ireland without using a VPN. We'll show you how to use one of them right here: NordVPN deal: FREE $50 / £50 Amazon gift card Boasting lightning fast speeds, great features, streaming power, and class-leading security, NordVPN is our #1 VPN. ✅ FREE Amazon gift card worth up to $50/£50 ✅ 4 months extra FREE! ✅ 76% off usual price Use Nord to unblock BBC iPlayer and watch Glastonbury live from the U.S. with our exclusive deal. 🇮🇪 If you're in Ireland (or anywhere outside the U.K.)., but don't yet have a BBC account then it is really simple. ❓All you need to do is visit the BBC website or download the BBC iPlayer app (iOS / Android).

Today, an eagle-eyed fan told the Mirror: "I spotted the sound engineer box with Pulp's name on as they were setting up during the Kaiser Chiefs set."

Pyramid Stage Patchwork is a mystery act scheduled to perform on Glastonbury's Pyramid Stage in 2025, and nobody knows who they really are! The mysterious band is slotted between John Fogerty and Raye on Glastonbury Festival 2025's Pyramid Stage. The identity has sparked speculation online, with fans and music journalists trying to crack the code. The main theories include: Pulp - The Sheffield band are currently 6/4 favorites to be behind the secret slot, known for their iconic 1995 Glastonbury headline set. The name 'Pulp' has even been spotted on some gear being assembled backstage today. Haim - Online sleuths discovered there's a book titled "Patchwork" written by one Susan Haim, leading to speculation it could be the LA sister trio. Chappell Roan - Some fans are convinced it's the pop superstar after she posted a photo to Instagram holding a patchwork blanket. However, she does not appear to be in the U.K. let alone the Glastonbury Festival. It's definitely a major artist using "Patchwork" as a pseudonym. The mystery will be solved in a matter of hours now... We test and review VPN services in the context of legal recreational uses. For example: 1.

How to watch Doechii at Glastonbury 2025: live stream Grammy Award-winning hip-hop star online for FREE
There's no disputing who the most hotly-anticipated debutant at Glastonbury 2025 is. Doechii is a Grammy Award-winning hip-hop sensation, whose inventive hits keep going gangbusters on TikTok and Instagram. You can watch Doechii at Glastonbury live streams from anywhere with a VPN and for FREE. Doechii's Glastonbury 2025 set takes place on Saturday, June 28.► Start time: 10:15 p.m. BST / 5:15 p.m. ET / 2:15 p.m. PT / 7:15 a.m. AEST (Sun.)• FREE STREAM — BBC iPlayer (U.K.)• Watch anywhere — try NordVPN 100% risk free If you haven't been lured in by a viral video set to "Anxiety" in the last few months, you clearly haven't spent much time on social media (in which case, well done to you). The 26-year-old from Tampa, Florida is single-handedly shaking up an area of music that hasn't tended to place much value on the female perspective. Doechii earlier this year became just the second solo female rapper (after Cardi B) to take home the best rap album Grammy with Alligator Bites Never Heal, featuring "Boom Bap", "Denial Is a River", "Stanka Pooh" and lead single "Nissan Altima". They've been conspicuous by their absence at her recent performances, but surely the crowdpleasers 'Yucky Blucky Fruitcake,' 'Persuasive' and, of course, "Anxiety" will get some love at Worthy Farm this Saturday. There's good reason she's been hailed as one of the most important artists of her generation. Below are all the details you need to watch Doechii and live stream Glastonbury 2025 for FREE and from anywhere. You can watch Doechii's Glastonbury set on BBC iPlayer, which is live streaming the five main stages all day: Pyramid, Other, West Holts, Woodsies, and The Park. As well as laptops, the service also has apps for smartphones, tablets and a wide range of streaming devices. Traveling abroad right now? You can use a VPN to watch Doechii at Glastonbury 2025 as if you were back home. NordVPN is our top pick of the options and we'll show you how to access it below. Away from home at the moment and blocked from watching the Doechii set on your usual subscription? You can still tune into the West Holts Stage headliner and all other Glastonbury coverage live thanks to the wonders of a VPN (Virtual Private Network). The software allows your devices to appear as if they're back in your home country regardless of where in the world you are. So ideal for viewers away on vacation or on business.
