Haim, Idles and More Slated for ‘Live at Worthy Farm’ Livestream Event

Organizers of theGlastonbury Festival have  recently announced a May 22nd global ticketed livestream event, “Live at Worthy Farm.” The lineup for the show will feature Coldplay, Damon Albarn, Haim, Idles, Wolf Alice, Jorja Smith, Kano, Michael Kiwanuka, DJ Honey Dijon and more “unannounced surprise performances,” according to a release announcing the show. The ongoing pandemic has definitely put a wrench in live music, putting the music festival on hold for the second year on hold.

“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,” said festival co-organizer Emily Eavis. “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!”

The first-ever livestream Glastonbury will be filmed on the legendary festival site at such landmarks as the Pyramid Field and the Stone Circle and support Glastonbury’s three main charitable partners: Oxfam, Greenpeace and WaterAid. The five-to-six hour show will also feature spoken word interludes written and delivered by special guests that will guide festivalgoers “on a journey through the sacred valley in Somerset.”

The show will be shot by Grammy-nominated director Paul Dugdale and co-promoted and produced by UK livestreamer Drift. Ticket purchases are limited to one ticket per order, which will grant the user a unique access code and details on how to connect to the stream.
