Coldplay fan? Here's how to watch 'Glastonbury' virtual concert in the Philippines
MANILA, Philippines — One of the performing arts' foremost festivals is now set for this weekend's great show online.
The five-day pre-pandemic festival is now going to be a five-hour musical and performing arts show on the grounds it usually is staged at. "Glastonbury: Live at Worthy Farm" streams on May 23, 5 p.m.
It will feature performances from Coldplay, Damon Albarn, George Ezra, HAIM, IDLES, Jorja Smith, Kano, Michael Kiwanuka, Roisin Murphy, Wolf Alice, plus DJ Honey Dijon.
For a bit of a thrill, there will be "unannounced surprised performances" to the festival that typically attracts more than 200,000 people to Somerset, England annually every June.
"The ground-breaking, five-hour extravaganza will be interspersed by a spoken word narrative, written and delivered by some very special guests, guiding festival-goers on a journey through the sacred valley in Somerset," reads the description on the festival's official web site.
The event supports three of the festival's main charitable partners Greenpeace, Oxfam and WaterAid.
"Glastonbury: Live at Worthy Farm" is shot by Grammy-nominated director Paul Dugdale. It is co-promoted and co-produced by UK livestream business Driift.
