WTF are the BBC playing at? First they put it on an hour late last night so it's way too late for mums of non-sleeping toddlers, and then when we sit down to watch it today it's inexplicably the only set not on IPlayer Angry

We can’t find it either!

Catslovepies · 26/06/2022 18:24

It's ridiculous, isn't it? Apparently they're catching hell for it on twitter.

AnyFucker · 26/06/2022 18:26

Is it because it was shit ?

ImStillMe · 26/06/2022 18:30

I'm looking for it too!

Yup been watching Twitter for hours hoping for an update. They said on the official BBCGlasto account hours ago that it would be on "very soon"

I wonder if they're doing a lot of post-processing on it to try to make his voice sound better and it's taking longer than expected.

I was waiting for the Foals one, that took ages too. I’m not sure why some are up earlier and others aren’t…

Artists have to consent to their performances being broadcast and allowed on iplayer, maybe he hasn’t consented to iplayer.

Kittykat93 · 26/06/2022 18:58

The question is why would you want to listen to it in the first place 😁

BlanketsBanned · 26/06/2022 19:06

maybe it needs editing, there was a scuffle fight which they might want to remove, I hope we can watch it, I only saw half. Just watching Diana Ross which is not as good as I hoped.

There was also a lot of flags about a certain disgraced member of the royal family, they probably want to get rid of those too 😆

someone in the crowd was taken ill as well

Chewbecca · 26/06/2022 19:11

I’ve been checking all afternoon too, want to see Dave and Bruce.

Flaunch · 26/06/2022 19:12

The Glastonbury coverage this year has been absolutely bloody awful.

Pedallleur · 26/06/2022 19:12

Supposedly to do with rights over images. 3 major artists on that stage and their management all have a say. Might be certain bits left out.

Depends what their management and the artists decide.

Nesbo · 26/06/2022 19:16

Rights issues. BBC has to do difficult negotiations with everyone involved to decide exactly what they can show beyond the initial live broadcast, and these are artists that are very, very demanding.

Catslovepies · 26/06/2022 19:16

If it's about rights then surely they could have agreed in advance? It's not like it came as a complete surprise to them that they ended up on stage together! Prince Andrew flags sounds credible, though 😂

BlanketsBanned · 26/06/2022 19:17

It wasnt broadcast live but they say it will be available

Nesbo · 26/06/2022 19:22

You don’t get to unilaterally decide when a deal is agreed unfortunately. Maccas representatives may well have wanted to wait until the performance was done before starting to negotiate the terms for licensing rights in the performance.

the BBC can’t force them to do anything, they have to negotiate.

Pedallleur · 26/06/2022 19:30

Also these artists DON'T need publicity. They can sell out anywhere. Sometimes it's about keeping the mystery. Everyone wants to see it. Kate Bush has never released her 2014 show. Maybe it was one for the photo album but she didn't need the publicity

He may not need publicity but he is only who he is because of millions fans who spent their hard earned money on records and vastly overpriced concert tickets

VeniVidiWeeWee · 26/06/2022 20:25

If millions bought them then they aren't overpriced.

AnyFucker · 26/06/2022 20:55

Watch Billie Eilish instead, not that boring has-been

(speaking as an actual has-been)
