No ticket required! How to enjoy Glasto from your armchair: As the world's most famous music festival begins, ADRIAN THRILLS sifts through the hours of BBC TV's coverage


This year's TV marathon gets underway as The One Show broadcasts live from Worthy Farm (BBC1, 7pm).

Fronted by James Murphy, LCD Soundsystem will bring the New York dance underground to Worthy Farm as they entertain fans ahead of Dua Lipa's set (BBC iPlayer, 7.45pm), while girl band the Sugababes take to the West Holts Stage (BBC4, 7.30pm). Their soft rock polarises opinion, but there's no doubting Chris Martin's wide-eyed enthusiasm — or his band's ability to galvanise a huge crowd with hits such as Yellow and Viva La Vida (BBC1, 10pm). Eminem sideman Mike Elizondo (who co-wrote the rapper's The Real Slim Shady) returns as producer, adding hip-hop swing to tracks which strive to recapture the zest of the group's live shows.
