How to watch Glastonbury Festival 2019 live on TV

The UK's biggest music festival is back after what feels like an impossibly long break.

Glastonbury is set to welcome 200,000 festival-goers next week when it returns after two years out of action.

But, like always, tickets were like gold dust and there are thousands of budding festival-goers who will be left stuck at home while those lucky few who managed to snatch up tickets head off to Somerset.

So for those who will be forced to watch from home, here's how you can keep up with all the best performances.
