It looks like Neil Young’s Glastonbury headlining set won’t be shown on the BBC, in what looks - at face value, at least - like a bit of score-settling when earlier this year the 79 year old singer songwriter briefly pulled out of the festival, alleging it was “under (the) corporate control’ of the broadcaster.
Speculation arose about Young's non-appearance yesterday when the corporation shared its coverage plans for the next few days. As in recent years, every act from all five of the main stages – Pyramid, Other, West Holts, Woodsies and Park will be shown, either live on the main channels or on BBC iplayer.
