This evening sees Charli XCX's first visit to Worthy Farm since 2017. Five years ago she served as an opening act on the Other Stage – but this year's headline slot will much better suit her heady material.
Part of her Crash tour, expect the album's 80s-influenced synth-pop to dominate proceedings – but it's a safe bet that the hour-and-a-quarter set will include earlier material. Who could say no to some PC Music-influenced hyperpop as the sun sets?
But you don't have to be Out Out to enjoy Charli XCX's Glastonbury 2022 set. Even if you're lounging around and feeling a little jealous of the fest's 200,000 attendees, you can still catch her headline set absolutely free and live from your living room.

Unfortunately, if you try to watch your domestic coverage of Charli XCX's Glastonbury 2022 performance from somewhere outside your home country, you'll soon find a problem – geo-blocking.
That's where the broadcaster prevents you from watching your usual feed from abroad. It's a common problem for streamers all over the world, but there's an easy solution. The best VPN – otherwise known as a virtual private network – can alter your IP address to make it appear like you’re somewhere else. While this can be used for privacy, it can also be used to access your preferred streaming platform back home, even when you're out of the country.
