BBC Issues Statement After Glastonbury Headline Act Taken Off Schedule as 'Issue Emerged' - Liverpool Echo

  • Neil Young performed as the headline act on the Pyramid Stage at the Glastonbury Festival in the UK on Saturday evening, accompanied by his group the Chrome Hearts.
  • Earlier this year, Young had initially declined the headliner role, citing his objection to the festival's corporate control by the BBC.
  • After a period of uncertainty and conflicting announcements, the BBC confirmed it would broadcast Young's full headline set live on BBC Two, Radio 2, and iPlayer from 10pm.
  • A BBC representative announced that Neil Young’s headline performance at Glastonbury on Saturday will be shown live for viewers throughout the UK on the BBC.
  • The broadcast reversal implies a resolved arrangement despite Young's rocky history with the BBC and Glastonbury, allowing audiences nationwide to access his performance.
