Friday 24 June 2022 07:18 AM ADRIAN THRILLS: How to watch Glasto with gusto from your living room  trends now

Back for the first time since 2019, the greatest music show on Earth returns today, as Glastonbury gets under way. 

Thousands of fans have pitched their tents, but armchair viewers can enjoy the action, too — and without having to brave the mud. 

With a bumper line-up, there's something for everyone.

Wolf Alice

Wolf Alice rise to the occasion in front of big crowds, and are sure to draw one to the Pyramid Stage this afternoon . . . if they can make it back from LA in time, with their original flight home having been cancelled. Here's hoping they do: The Last Man On Earth, from last year's chart-topping Blue Weekend album, is a Worthy Farm anthem in the making (4.45pm, BBC iPlayer).

Crowded House

They always take the weather with them, and revellers will be hoping the Antipodean rockers bring sunny skies to the Pyramid Stage today (8pm, BBC4). Frontman Neil Finn, fresh from touring with Fleetwood Mac, has turned Crowded House into a family affair, with sons Liam and Elroy now alongside him on guitar and drums. Hits such as Don't Dream It's Over are ripe with tuneful nostalgia.

Robert Plant & Alison Krauss

Glastonbury's Michael Eavis may never get his wish of seeing Led Zeppelin on the Pyramid Stage, but former frontman Robert Plant should at least air a couple of Zep classics when he resumes his partnership with bluegrass star Alison Krauss (8.30pm, BBC4). Plant has recently been singing Rock And Roll and The Battle Of Evermore. Krauss's other-worldly voice is a thing of beauty.

Arlo Parks

Having scooped last year's Mercury Prize with her dazzling debut album, Collapsed In Sunbeams, the Hammersmith singer gets to play, aptly enough, on the Park Stage (9.30pm, BBC4). Parks' sensitive, poetic songs explore coming of age and unrequited love.

Billie Eilish

At 20, the Californian pop icon will become the youngest solo artist to headline Glastonbury (10pm, BBC2). She's unlikely to be daunted, having delivered a triumphant set — wearing a baggy, two-piece outfit designed by Stella McCartney — on her first visit in 2019. Expect whispered vocals, laid-back beats . . . and a blockbusting Bond theme in No Time To Die.

Other highlights

Sam Fender's rabble-rousing enthusiasm marks him out as one of this year's rising stars (midnight, BBC3), while American R&B duo TLC should prompt a singalong when they play Waterfalls (iPlayer, 5.30pm). Scandi-pop sensation Sigrid is a powerhouse vocalist (7pm, BBC3), and rapper Little Simz mixes sharp lyrics with funky, vibrant arrangements (10.30pm, BBC3).
