Watch Glastonbury 2025: Livestream the UK Festival From Anywhere For Free
It's arguably the most sought-after tickets in the world when it comes to music festivals. But if you're not one of the lucky 210,000 attendees heading to Glastonbury, don't worry — our guide below will show you how to catch all the big-name performances from the comfort of your home, no tent required. Below, we'll outline which live TV streaming service will be streaming this year's festival, wherever you are in the world. We'll also explain how to use a VPN if tyou're outside of the UK. Over 2,000 performers are set to play across an incredible 100 stages at the humongous event in Pilton, Somerset, in south west England, over the course of the weekend. This year's line-up sees The 1975 headline on Friday with hyperpop trailblazer Charlie xcx closing The Other Stage on Saturday. This year's coveted "legends" spot will be filled by raspy-voiced rock crooner Rod Stewart, while American Angsty pop powerhouse Olivia Rodrigo closes out the festival on Sunday night. Other acts set to perform include controversial Irish-language rappers Kneecap, pop storyteller Gracie Abrams, hardcore punks Turnstile and an as yet-to-be revealed surprise act going under the mysterious name of "Patchwork". One key act that viewers at home won't get to see is Neil Young, with the veteran rocker's headline Pyramid Stage set on Saturday noticeably absent from the BBC's broadcast schedule as per the Canadian star's wishes. Below, we'll outline the best live TV streaming services to use to watch the festival live. Glastonbury Festival: When and where?

If you find yourself unable to view the festival locally, you may need a different way to watch the entertainment from Worthy Farm -- that's where using a VPN can come in handy. How to watch Glastonbury 2025 online from anywhere using a VPN If you're traveling abroad and want to watch all the big name acts at Glastonbury while away from home, a VPN can help enhance your privacy and security when streaming. It encrypts your traffic and prevents your internet service provider from throttling your speeds. It can also be helpful when connecting to public Wi-Fi networks while traveling, adding an extra layer of protection for your devices and logins. VPNs are legal in many countries, including the US and Canada, and can be used for legitimate purposes such as improving online privacy and security. However, some streaming services may have policies restricting VPN use to access region-specific content. If you're considering a VPN for streaming, check the platform's terms of service to ensure compliance. If you choose to use a VPN, follow the provider's installation instructions, ensuring you're connected securely and in compliance with applicable laws and service agreements. Some streaming platforms may block access when a VPN is detected, so verifying if your streaming subscription allows VPN use is crucial.

Neil Young bans BBC from livestreaming his Glastonbury set
Neil Young will not allow the BBC to livestream his headline Glastonbury set this weekend, the corporation has confirmed. The BBC will broadcast performances from across the five main stages as part of its coverage. But when Young, 79, takes to the Pyramid stage with The Chrome Hearts on Saturday night, BBC viewers will instead be treated to Charli XCX performing on The Other Stage. A BBC spokesperson said: 'On Saturday on BBC iPlayer, our Glastonbury Channel and five streams for the main stages will bring a range of live performances to audiences. 'At the artist's request, we won't be livestreaming Neil Young's set. Our plans, including those for our TV highlights shows and on-demand coverage, continue to be finalised right up to and during the festival.' The announcement is the latest instalment in Young's row with the BBC over his Glastonbury set. In January, the singer published an open letter on his website, announcing: 'The Chrome Hearts and I were looking forward to playing Glastonbury, one of my all time favourite outdoor gigs. We were told that the 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. We will not be playing Glastonbury on this tour because it is a corporate turn-off, and not for me like it used to be.' Two days later he reversed the decision, saying: 'Due to an error in the information received, I had decided to not play Glastonbury festival, which I always have loved. 'Happily, the festival is now back on our itinerary and we look forward to playing!' And this is not the first time he has balked at the idea of the BBC broadcasting his set. He last headlined the festival in 2009, when his management wanted to restrict the number of songs shown on television and online to preserve the 'mystery' of the event. In the end, five songs were aired. Young is a favourite of Michael Eavis, the Glastonbury founder. He was first booked to play the festival in 1997 but was forced to pull out after cutting his finger while making a ham sandwich.

YouTube Will Soon Stop Some Children From Live Streaming
PCMag editors select and review products independently. If you buy through affiliate links, we may earn commissions, which help support our testing. YouTube is making a series of changes this year to try and better protect children on its service. The latest change is children under the age of 16 will no longer be allowed to live stream directly to an audience on their own. According to a change announced on the company's Help pages, and spotted by Android Authority, YouTube will soon move the minimum age for live stream performers from 13 to 16. Children between 13 and 15 can continue to be in live streams, but they need to be accompanied by an adult who is visible in the footage. The adult also needs to be added as a channel manager or owner, and they need to use their account to start the stream. YouTube's announcement says, 'Additionally, live streams featuring 13 to 15-year-olds who are not visibly accompanied by an adult may have their live chat disabled and the account may temporarily lose access to live chat or other features. In the future, we plan to take down these live streams and the account may temporarily lose its ability to live stream.' The changes will take effect from July 22. YouTube also shared advice for teens who plan to live stream. The advice is similar to the company's child safety policy, and it points to things like using privacy settings on a stream, and not sharing personal information such as where they live or go to school. This is all part of YouTube attempting to improve child safety across its platform. Earlier this year, YouTube announced it would begin testing machine learning algorithms to work out when a viewer is lying about their age. YouTube's rules say you must be at least 13 to use the main app, while anyone younger is encouraged to use YouTube Kids. These new machine learning tools predict when a child is using the platform and lying about their age using activity such as the content they've watched. If it identifies a child is watching, it will change its algorithms to make sure the child doesn't see any inappropriate content. It's currently unclear if YouTube is actively experimenting with this, or whether it's still yet to launch.

YouTube Increases Age Limit for Livestreaming
This story was originally published on Social Media Today. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily Social Media Today newsletter. YouTube's looking to avoid potential risks with youngsters livestreaming in the app, with the platform announcing that it's increasing its age limit for livestreams, with live broadcasts to be restricted to users aged 16 and up from next month. YouTube will soon also remove livestreams that display youngsters without the presence of an adult. As explained by YouTube: 'As of July 22, we are increasing the minimum age required to livestream to 16 years old. This means that creators will need to be 16 or older to be able to livestream on YouTube. Additionally, livestreams featuring 13-15 year olds who are not visibly accompanied by an adult may have their live chat disabled and the account may temporarily lose access to live chat or other features. Please note that, in the future, we plan to take down these livestreams and the account may temporarily lose its ability to live stream.' The change is likely to impact gaming streamers the most, who often start in their teens, with the new restriction now delaying their content ambitions. But it may well be an important, valuable change in protecting younger users from exploitation and risk, though YouTube's hasn't shared any official reason for the update. Though there have been various reports of teens being exposed on livestreams over the years. At the same time, YouTube is also currently embroiled in a debate in Australia as to whether the app should be included in the government's upcoming age restrictions on social media use, with Australian officials set to implement a 16-year-old access limit for all social media apps. YouTube has been exempted from this, due to its educational value, but the nation's eSafety Commissioner has this week called for YouTube to be included in the change, as it also poses a risk. Maybe, upping the age of livestreaming could help YouTube pushback against this, by reiterating that social elements are not its focus, and that its social video tools, like livestreaming, are already restricted to over 16s anyway. I don't think that law changes in Australia would be the only motivation on this front, but it could be another reason for the update, which, presumably, won't have a major impact on overall streaming activity. Really, it seems like a sensible update, which will keep kids safe, and it's good to see YouTube looking to take a stronger stand on this front.
