The BBC's Hosting a 5-Day Glastonbury Celebration Featuring Beyoncé and Adele's Iconic Performances

The 2020 Glastonbury Festival would have been the 50th anniversary of the iconic British summertime event, before it was cancelled due to the coronavirus. And while things certainly look different this summer in the UK, the BBC is determined to celebrate Glasto with a five-day TV and radio event that'll be broadcast across many of its channels from Thursday, 25 June, to Monday, 29 June.
