GLASTO SETS BBC RECORDS

6/28/22

The Glastonbury festival has crushed BBC’s digital viewership records: Performances were streamed a record 34.1m times on BBC iPlayer, 23m of them live, a 116% spike over 2019’s numbers.

The 23m live streams are the most ever for a BBC program brand. The data is for viewing and listening between 6/10 and 6/27. Especially popular were sets by Paul McCartney, Billie Eilish, Crowded House, Diana Ross, Little Simz, Megan Thee Stallion, Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds and Sam Fender.

“The BBC provided the ultimate armchair experience of the world’s best-loved festival this weekend with a dedicated Glastonbury channel on BBC iPlayer, 6 Music’s All Day Glastonbury coverage, performances from the biggest artists on demand on BBC Sounds and over 35 hours of coverage across our TV channels, said BBC Director of Music Lorna Clarke.

More than 90 sets from the five filmed stages are available for a limited time on BBC iPlayer.
