BBC Confirms Neil Young Glastonbury Set Will Be Televised Live After All


The BBC has confirmed Neil Young's Glastonbury set will be shown on BBC iPlayer and Radio 2 tonight from the Pyramid Stage.

Neil Young ‘s on-off relationship with the BBC and Glastonbury appears to have been resolved, for now, and the singer’s set will be shown live tonight on the national broadcaster. “We are delighted to confirm that Neil Young’s headline set from Glastonbury on Saturday will be broadcast live to audiences across the UK on the BBC,” said a spokeswoman.
