Paul McCartney's Glastonbury set leaves viewers fuming with BBC as complaints pour in

he BBC have now spoken out after fans complained about their coverage of Sir Paul McCartney’s set at Glastonbury.

After a set from Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds, the Beatles legend took to the festival’s famous Pyramid Stage to headline Saturday night and perform a three hour long set which featured tracks from both Wings and The Beatles’ back catalogues, including Get Back, Something and Hey Jude.

Sir Paul kicked things off at Glastonbury not long after 9.30pm, but unlike most other sets at the Worthy Farm event, like Sam Fender's a night earlier, it wasn’t available to watch as it happened on BBC iPlayer, with it not being available to watch until an hour after it started.
