A special, condensed director's cut of the Glastonbury Festival Live At Worthy Farm stream, which premiered online on Saturday (May 22), will be broadcast on BBC television in the coming weeks.

In addition, there will be another chance to catch highlights from the livestream across television, radio and online platforms between Friday and Sunday, June 25 to 27, as a part of the Glastonbury Experience 2021 – the BBC's annual celebration of Glastonbury Festival.

Alongside this shorter edit of the stream, BBC Two will also air a 60-minute behind-the-scenes documentary, presented by BBC Radio 2 presenter Jo Whiley, during the Glastonbury Experience 2021.

The programme will feature the story behind the staging of Glastonbury's first ever festival without an audience, interviews with the artists, backstage footage and performance highlights from Live At Worthy Farm.

The BBC-commissioned documentary will be produced by Ryan Minchin and executive produced by Alison Howe at BBC Studios Music Productions.

The Live at Worthy Farm livestream has been praised for the music on show, but was beset by technical issues, leading to it being made available free to all, and having issues with the sound and syncing.
