Quote

The BBC’s celebration of Glastonbury 2022 will begin earlier than in previous years:

In the days leading up to main festival coverage on TV, BBC Two will broadcast Glastonbury: 50 Years & Counting, produced and directed for BBC Studios Music Productions by the award-winning Francis Whately. This kaleidoscopic portrait of Glastonbury and its social and musical history is given through the testimony of its principal curators, Michael and Emily Eavis, as well as artists who have appeared there. Contributors include Aswad, Chris Martin, Dua Lipa, Ed O’Brien, Fatboy Slim, Florence Welch, Johnny Marr, Linda Lewis, Orbital, Noel Gallagher, The Levellers, Thom Yorke and Stormzy.

Also in the lead-up, BBC One and BBC iPlayer will show Stormzy: Road to the Pyramid Stage (w/t). This programme will see the mega-star rapper reflect on his Glastonbury journey, which led to one of the all-time iconic headline performances in 2019. Fans will get another chance to watch this acclaimed set in full on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.

and this:

 

On radio and BBC Sounds, 6 Music presents All Day Glastonbury from Wednesday 22 June. Lauren Laverne broadcasts from the Worthy Farm gates as the first festival-goers enter the site during her breakfast show that day (7.30am-10.30am). All Day Glastonbury continues on 6 Music throughout the weekend, in addition to extensive coverage on Radio 1, Radio 1Xtra and Radio 2, which sees Zoe Ball present her breakfast show from Worthy Farm on Friday 24 June.

BBC iPlayer’s dedicated Glastonbury channel launches on Thursday 23 June, presenting a four day stream of live performances, preview programmes and more.

BBC ONE showing Paul McCartney, Olivia Rodrigo and Diana Ross. That’s huge.

Very limited Glastonbury 4k content available but saw this foo fighters rip a while back which is stunning , ruined by the subtitles though

Clearing the BBC One schedule to show the whole of the Pyramid Saturday night live (with a break for the news) is mad.

I think BBC ONE is only showing Olivia Rodrigo, Paul McCartney and Diana Ross. Which is still massive.

Glastonbury: 50 Years & Counting on BBC Two and BBC iPlayer

A film three years in the making, producer/director of the acclaimed David Bowie Five Years trilogy, Francis Whately, turns his attention to a kaleidoscopic portrait of Glastonbury for this social and musical history of (probably) The World’s Greatest Music Festival. The story is told through the testimony of its principal curators, Michael and Emily Eavis and the musicians who have performed there, including Thom Yorke, Florence Welch, Dua Lipa, The Levellers, Aswad, Orbital, Fatboy Slim, Linda Lewis, Noel Gallagher, Ed O’Brien, Chris Martin, and Stormzy.

This is not a chronological plod through the festival’s evolution, so much as a thematic and story-driven exploration of the peaks and troughs, the agonies and the ecstasies, that have shaped its many eras. Balancing the driving forces of social conscience and hedonism, Glastonbury has always been both a world apart and a barometer of the state of the nation. Cameras take viewers backstage and deep into the archive to reveal the forces that have driven this alternative nation between utopia and dystopia, the Greatest Night of Your Life and a Muddy Field in the Middle of Nowhere.

I wonder is this new footage or just pieced together archive clips which would be no different than watching the Julie Temple docufilm.

Julien Temple film was released in 2006, which is 16 years ago so lots of different material to choose from. 🙂

I think its in the contract now for the headliners to have to agree to it. And then it might come down to if theyre ok with the full set being shown live or just partial with the full one on iplayer afterwards. Rolling Stones only had like half their set air in real time for example. Remember since its only being broadcast via bbc and the rest of the world pretty much cannot tune in or have access to it due to geo restriction til after its happened, it kind  of plays into the favor of the artist anyway for not having their whole show out there in pro shot form. Of course Kendrick probably gets streamed the following month in Miami at Rolling Loud which will be shown on youtube, but it likely wont have some elements he uses at glastonbury and some diff guests.

This sounds interesting, maybe indicates who the TBAs are on the BBC Introducing stage...

In 2022, the BBC Music Introducing stage will be situated in the Interstage area of the festival, with the line-up curated by Wolf Alice (Friday 24 June), IDLES (Saturday 25th June) & Arlo Parks (Sunday 26 June), through the Introducing shows across the UK.

I wonder how we will get our hands on these tasty 4K streams? I think everything on Get Iplayer was only 720p. But that could be because it was only uploaded in 720p rather than a limitation of Get Iplayer?

Yeah wouldn’t surprise me if the fest had added it to the contracts after the Stones ‘will they won’t they allow it’ saga. Kendrick is the first headliner since then with a history of not allowing his sets to be filmed so this is a good sign.

Ive only ever seen 720 rips from one year of stuff which was 2014. Like it was all uploaded 720 and then not at a good bit rate, so it looked like shite. Everything else has been in 1080 and the files sizes show it. If there was an update for the program to support 4k, hopefully thats been resolved? Is there any programming on BBC thats broadcast in true 4k or even available that way to stream?  So then we could try and download to see if it works properly?

I wonder who this is, hmmmm.....

[gooner1990]

Would still love the 'best of xx year' compilations to be released...I know 1998, 1999 and 2003 were shown during lockdown but most of the other earlier ones (before 2011 ish) are never shown anymore.

Anyone know if the teaser/ promo videos have started running on the BBC yet? That's a key milestone for me every year which confirms, just in case there was still any doubt, that it is  in fact happening and very, very imminent.

I was in Paris at the weekend for the CL final and my flight home got in yesterday morning to reveal the lineup announcement and then this morning we got the BBC coverage announcement providing a very much needed lift to my spirits after everything that went on in Paris and a pretty serious hangover.
