Emily Eavis said: “We’re truly honoured that Thom and Jonny have chosen our livestream event to premiere their brand new project, The Smile. Sadly, we are all unable to gather together at Worthy Farm, but alongside sets from other wonderful performers, this has all the makings of a special Glastonbury moment - and one we can broadcast to the world."
If you can’t make tonight’s broadcast, then don’t worry.
By popular demand, we’ve already added two Sunday broadcast times for the livestream at 2pm (BST) and 7pm (BST).
