With the first hangovers of the weekend on next-day delivery, Friday at Glastonbury is the festival at its bright-eyed, bushy-tailed best, so who better than The 1975 (10.15pm BST, Pyramid) to bring the house down? With a secret act (4.55pm), Alanis Morissette (6.15pm) and Biffy Clyro (8.15pm) in the warmup slots for the synth-pop band's Pyramid Stage headline set tonight, here's how to watch Friday at Glastonbury 2025, as the world's greatest festival gets underway.

Before you go any further, a word of warning: beware of the BBC's Glastonbury TV schedule, as it's very difficult to tell which performances are being covered live and which aren't. If you want to watch any of the acts live, we'd recommend swerving the BBC's linear TV coverage entirely and firing up BBC iPlayer instead.

For Friday at Glastonbury, live coverage starts at 12pm on BBC iPlayer, but only 7pm on TV. Our understanding is that the Loyle Carner (10.30pm, Other) and The 1975 sets will be televised live, along with highlights of the Supergrass (12pm, Pyramid), Wet Leg (3.45pm, Other), English Teacher (4.30pm, Park), Franz Ferdinand (5.15pm, Other), Blossoms (6pm, Woodsies), and Wunderhorse (7.30pm, Park) performances.

BBC iPlayer, by contrast, has multiple live streams running simultaneously, covering the Pyramid, Other, West Holts, Woodsies and The Park stages, as well as select acts.

With further standouts including CMAT (1.30pm, Pyramid), Glass Beams (2.30pm, West Holts), Ash (5.05pm, Avalon), Billy Bragg (9pm, Leftfield), and The Fratellis (11.05pm, Avalon), there's lots to look forward to, and lots you could miss.

Read on as we explain how to watch Friday at Glastonbury live streams from anywhere. We've also listed the Friday lineup for the main stages further down the page.
