The BBC coverage of the 2025 Glastonbury Festival has been dogged by technical errors. Even at the festival itself, the opening ceremony was branded a flop by disappointed festival-goers. During a set on The Other Stage, the screen cut to black for many BBC viewers today. And it's no better online for those watching iPlayer as the main Saturday feed also suffered from a huge technical difficulty. Those wanting to watch Scissor Sisters were greeted with an apology message that was emblazoned on the screen. It read: "Sorry for the interruption. We're working to fix this." Glasto fans flooded social media in their droves as they were left fuming by the blunder. Writing on X - formerly known as Twitter - one expletive-filled fan fumed: "F****** hell @BBC you cut Blossoms short and now Scissor Sisters when it's just a black screen. Sort it out." A second stated: "Scissor Sisters have been on stage 8 minutes and the screen is still black! Fury as Glastonbury crowd chants 'death to the IDF' during Bob Vylan set aired live on BBC "I've only wanted to watch them, Jade, and Raye all day and now it's not even working for Scissor Sisters!" "#Glastonbury Jeez put up with watching that Winehouse wannabe Raye screen goes blank for Scissor Sisters," exclaimed an angry user. While a fourth asked: "Having to watch Charli because no streams on iplayer I don't even know what she sings #Glastonbury." "Cmon BBC Iplayer…where's Charli xcx?", enquired someone else. Glastonbury backlashes Glastonbury Festival has been going for 54 trailblazing years - but at times it has been a stormy ride Here, we look at the biggest backlashes to hit the iconic music event. The Smiths (1984): One of the first bands to divide the early Glastonbury purists were Manchester indie stars The Smiths. The band's set even sparked a full scale stage invasion as they introduced the crowd to their guitar-driven, post-punk romanticism music. Guitarist Johnny Marr described their usual fanbase as "cup final supporters", adding: "Eventually, I did manage to instigate a stage invasion, which raised a few eyebrows. One fan was trying to climb on stage, I helped pull him up, and then a few more people followed, and all of a sudden we'd managed to turn it into a Smiths gig." The Fence (2002): It wasn't a band or musician that sparked controversy in 2002... it was a fence. Organiser Michael Eavis came under fire when he organised the erection of a £1million fence around the site. The ring of steel was brought in to protect ticket holders and those who might inadvertently endanger themselves by breaking in. Diehard Glasto fans, however, felt it was at odds with the event's hippy ethos of peace and love. Eavis and co refused to back down, though, and the fence remains in place today. JAY-Z (2008): Despite its long history, Glastonbury had never welcomed a rapper for a headline set - until 2008. Jay-Z's top bill booking was met with a flurry of digs, including some from Oasis's Noel Gallagher, who claimed hip hop had no place at the festival. In a perfect clap-back, Jay-Z walked out to a version of Wonderwall before launching into his powerful hit 99 problems. Seven years later, his pal Kanye West followed in his Glastonbury footsteps and topped the bill. Metallica (2014): Thrash metal rockers Metallica were met with raised eyebrows when they were announced as Glastonbury headliners. Some critics claimed they lacked mainstream appeal, while others felt they were past their prime. However, frontman James Hetfield managed to quickly win the crowd round thanks to his good humour and polite manners. Adele (2016): Although Adele wowed both festival goers and music fans at home with her headliner set, the British songstress did cause a stir by turning the air blue. She warned the crowd about her "potty mouth" but not everyone was impressed with with the 30 plus expletives she dropped on the stage during her headline set, which aired on the BBC. And a sixth added: "Since iPlayer is so useless this weekend you only have what's on BBC One and Two of #Glastonbury." On iPlayer, if you wanted to catch the action from The Other Stage, you would have to swap to the dedicated feed which was still working. 5 Viewers would have had to switch to a dedicated feed for The Other Stage on iPlayer to watch Charli XCX perform (pictured in 2022) Credit: Redferns

BRIT awards, MOBO Awards and MTV EM Awards followed, with the album also shortlisted for the 2023 Mercury Prize. This year's appearance at Glasto will be the second time the singer has graced not only Worthy Farm but the Pyramid Stage, although the 2025 8 p.m. slot is decidedly more prestigious than her lunchtime appearance in 2023. In terms of the setlist, expect to hear some of the artist's biggest hits including 'Prada,' 'Bed,' 'Secrets' and of course breakout hit 'Escapism.' If the last time Raye stepped out onto the Pyramid Stage is anything to go by, this will be one of the weekend's can't-miss sets.

Glastonbury day four: Who is playing and how hot will it get?
Festival-goers are in for another hot one today, as day four of Glastonbury 2025 kicks off with sunshine on the forecast. Acts gracing the Pyramid Stage today will include John Fogerty, Raye, and Neil Young and the Chrome Hearts, as well as a mystery "Patchwork" performance. Over on the Other Stage, big crowds are expected for Charli XCX and the Ezra Collective. Artist Doechii will be making her first Glastonbury appearance on the West Holts Stage this evening. In his first performance at Glastonbury since 2019, Tom Odell has a set scheduled later tonight for Woodsies, which featured a surprise pre-lunchtime set from Lorde on Saturday 27 June. The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) and the Met Office's amber heat-health alert is still in force today, with people urged to be cautious in the sun. Temperatures are expected to reach highs of 26 degrees today, with the mercury set to rise closer to 30 on Sunday (29 June). The UKHSA South West has issued the following advice for those at Glastonbury Festival: Stay hydrated and avoid excessive alcohol consumption, particularly in hot weather as this may dehydrate you. There are over 800 water taps across the site, carry a refillable bottle with you throughout the day Seek shade wherever you can, wear (or improvise) a hat, and wear sunglasses to protect your eyes Loosen your clothing and allow the air to circulate Reapply sunscreen and cover up, Factor 30 or above is good, but covering your skin is better If attending with a small child, turn their pushchair away from the sun rather than covering it for shade, covering the pushchair will increase the temperature inside Know the symptoms of heat exhaustion and heatstroke and what to do if you or someone else has them If you or someone you know feels ill or faints, seek help from stewards, security or the medical services on site.
