The event will support Glastonbury’s three main charitable partners, Oxfam, Greenpeace and WaterAid, as well as helping to secure the Festival’s return in 2022.
A limited edition line-up poster for the event is also available, with proceeds going to Stagehand, the live production welfare and benevolent fund which is helping crew who have fallen into the gaps in Government financial support during the pandemic.
Emily Eavis said: “After two Glastonbury cancellations, it brings us great pleasure to announce our first online livestream, which will present live music performances filmed across Worthy Farm at landmarks including the Pyramid and, for the first time ever, the Stone Circle. It will feature a rolling cast of artists and performers who have all given us enormous support by agreeing to take part in this event, showing the farm as you have never seen it. There will also be some very special guest appearances and collaborations. We are hoping this will bring a bit of Glastonbury to your homes and that for one night only people all over the world will be able to join us on this journey through the farm together!”
Shot by acclaimed Grammy-nominated director Paul Dugdale, the hugely ambitious production will take viewers on a journey of the world famous Glastonbury site, which typically greets more than 200,000 people each June. The show will be co-promoted and produced by the pioneering UK livestream business Driift, who have hosted globally successful livestreams for artists including Laura Marling, Nick Cave, Biffy Clyro, Niall Horan and Kylie Minogue, and BBC Studios Productions.
For one night only, the greatest show online!

The Festival’s joint charities share a common goal of working together for people and the planet, by taking action against some of the biggest challenges of our time like climate change and the impact of the pandemic. Together, we are working with communities around the world who have been hit the hardest, to deliver solutions that save lives and overcome injustice, but we need your help to make a real difference.
Just a £5 donation could help pay for a tap to pipe clean water to a household in Southern Africa, changing the lives of a whole family whilst £10 could buy a hygiene kit with the basics everyone needs to survive and thrive from soap to sanitary pads. Please give what you can.
