Fans have speculated that Haim, Pulp or Chappell Roan could take 6.15pm to 7.15pm slot on the Pyramid Stages. Neil Young and The Chrome Hearts were the top billing on the Pyramid Stage this evening, however the set won’t be livestreamed “at the artist’s request”. A BBC spokesperson said: “On Saturday on BBC iPlayer, our Glastonbury Channel and five streams for the main stages will bring a range of live performances to audiences. “At the artist’s request, we won’t be livestreaming Neil Young’s set. “Our plans, including those for our TV highlights shows and on-demand coverage, continue to be finalised right up to and during the festival.”
