What the BBC successfully did is project some part of the &#8216;festival feeling&#8217; into our living rooms. Sure, it was only a small part, but it did make you feel as you were there to some small extent.<\/p>\n<p>So, it&#8217;s over and no doubt everyone&#8217;s rushing around, trying to figure out how to get tickets for Glastonbury 2020 and of course how to afford it. Interesting point that the average visitor spends over \u00a3650 each on their visit, including tickets, equipment etc. It kind of dispels the image of a free concert filled with all sorts of people from across the social spectrum. I&#8217;m afraid most of the &#8216;free spirit&#8217; hippy types I know couldn&#8217;t raise 10% of that sum never mind be organised to try and get a ticket month in advance.<\/p>\n<p>However, let&#8217;s not denigrate the festival as it&#8217;s not entirely their fault &#8211; great bands, organisation and even a social conscience don&#8217;t come cheap, and this simply wouldn&#8217;t happen without a large income unfortunately. For music lovers it&#8217;s a treat and anyone who enjoys music will find something to enjoy.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Watch_Glastonbury_on_the_BBC_iPlayer\"><\/span>How to Watch Glastonbury on the BBC iPlayer.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>First here&#8217;s a great little taster from a previous festival &#8211; the 2019 Glastonbury Festival &#8211;<\/p>\n<p><center><br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/pNHlQytuAsg\" width=\"660\" height=\"415\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/iframe><\/center><br \/>\nSo as the festival is over does the mean all those amazing live events can&#8217;t be enjoyed again? \u00a0Well of course, the festival is released on various formats so you should be able to buy the DVD soon but there is another option.<\/p>\n<p>The whole event is still on the <a href=\"https:\/\/iplayerusa.org\/index.php\/enjoying-bbc-iplayer-using-smart-dns\/\">BBC iPlayer<\/a>, and you can even select and watch your favorite performers. \u00a0The Glastonbury Festival has its own page where you can select and watch from the archive &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/iplayer\/episodes\/b007r6vx\/glastonbury\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">here&#8217;s the link.<\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0The content there changes all the time, especially when there&#8217;s a new festival on.\u00a0 It&#8217;s a great way to spend an evening, soaking up the atmosphere of one of the world&#8217;s most iconic music festivals.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Check_BBC_iPlayer_Glastonbury_Archive\"><\/span>Check BBC iPlayer Glastonbury Archive<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Now you may have heard that the <a href=\"https:\/\/iplayerusa.org\/index.php\/how-to-stream-bbc-in-the-usa\/\">BBC<\/a> has extended its archive to allow shows to be watched for much longer. That is definitely the case as most of the BBC shows can be streamed for over a year from their broadcast. However, there are some exceptions and unfortunately the BBC Glastonbury&#8217;s coverage is one of them, so you only have a limited time to enjoy them for free. I&#8217;ve just checked, and it has reverted to the 30-day limit, so you only have a few weeks to logon and enjoy the festival.<\/p>\n<p>Please do check it out, it&#8217;s one of the best and I&#8217;m sure everyone will enjoy it. My favourites were the Killers and Stormzy but you&#8217;ll find lots of other classic performances too.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Use_the_VPN_Solution_for_BBC_iPlayer\"><\/span>Use the VPN Solution for BBC iPlayer<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>For those outside the United Kingdom the usual restrictions apply but they can be mitigated quite easily.
