BBC To Broadcast Glastonbury Globally

Taken from the official website:

"The BBC has for many years brought Glastonbury to UK viewers, capturing brilliant concert footage and behind the scenes interviews with the bands. Now for the first time, BBC Worldwide has gained the TV distribution rights and will be taking the Festival to music fans worldwide.

Jon Mansfield, Head of Content Development for BBC Worldwide Music commented:

“In this momentous year, as Glastonbury celebrates its 40th anniversary, BBC Worldwide is proud and privileged to be able to bring the much celebrated BBC coverage to a global stage.

A Glastonbury performance is one of the most prestigious moments in many artists' careers and frequently results in truly historic performances.

BBCW Music are honoured to play a part in bringing those extraordinary moments to what we believe, through our substantial TV distribution network, will potentially be the Festival’s biggest global audience ever!”"
