How to watch Coldplay at Glastonbury 2024 live streams from anywhere with a VPN
Watching Glastonbury live streams is a tradition for millions of Brits across the country, but what if you're not there when the music is being broadcast live on the BBC and you really want to catch Coldplay?
Look no further than a VPN, or virtual private network. A VPN makes it look as if you're surfing the web from your home country, rather than the one you're in. That means you can access the streaming services you already pay for, from anywhere on Earth. Or anywhere that has an internet connection, at least.
For instance, a Brit who's currently in the U.S. could watch the Glastonbury 2024 live streams on BBC iPlayer, even though they're not in the U.K., and see Coldplay (and everybody else) perform to crowds of thousands of fans. Just make sure you have a valid TV license if you're accessing the service.
