Fans of Sir Paul McCartney were outraged at the BBC after tuning in to watch the headliner's Glastonbury set to discover that the BBC's coverage was delayed.
The legendary Beatles star made history as the oldest ever solo headliner to perform at the popular music festival.
However, fans at home were left feeling disappointed as they attempted to watch his set live on BBC iPlayer. The BBC's coverage of the performance did not begin until a hour after it began on stage.
The musician, who is 80, opened his set on the Pyramid Stage at 9.30pm with a rendition of The Beatles classic tune Can't Buy Me Love.
However, as people tuned in to iPlayer they were met with a message reading: ‘Watch Paul McCartney’s headline performance on the Glastonbury Channel on iPlayer and BBC One from 10.30pm’, Birmingham Live reports.
One person tweeted: "Umm, please @BBC can you tell us why Paul McCartney, one of the all time greats, doesn’t get live @glastonbury coverage from the start of his set?"
Another wrote: "Disgraceful @glastonbury and @BBC, for whatever reason, can’t deliver Paul McCartney live to millions of people."
"#bbcglastonbury what are the BBC playing at? Where is Paul McCartney? This is an absolute shambles," another fan raged.
The BBC told the Metro: "This year we are delighted to bring audiences our most extensive coverage of Glastonbury to date. Paul McCartney’s much anticipated set was broadcast on BBC One at 10.30pm as well as on Radio 2 and will be available on BBC iPlayer and BBC Sounds."
The statement continued: ‘Due to the complexity of broadcasting an event of this scale and the volume of performances we cover, there is sometimes variation between performances taking place and their transmission."
