From June 22nd-26th, Worthy Farm hosts the 34th Glastonbury Festival. If you weren't able to get tickets, fear not, over the weekend the BBC has a plethora of coverage from the festival:

On Television:

The BBC One Show hops channels to kick off BBC Two's coverage on Friday at 7pm. Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings will see Jo Whiley, Mark Radcliffe, Lauren Laverne, Huw Stephens and roving reporters Gemma Cairney and Martin Dougan introduce a wide range of performances from across the site.

Over the weekend BBC Four will be broadcasting performances from artists including James, Foals, PJ Harvey, New Order and Charles Hazlewood conducting members of the Paraorchestra for a performance of Philip Glass's Heroes Symphony, inspired by Bowie's 1977 album Heroes.

Broadcasts from Glastonbury will also be available on BBC Red Button.

On Radio:

Between them, BBC Radio 1, BBC Radio 1Xtra, BBC Radio 2 and BBC 6 Music will broadcast over 50 hours of coverage from the festival.

Online:

You can dart between the Pyramid, Other, West Holts, Park, John Peel and BBC Introducing Stages without donning your wellies via BBC Music. You can even curate your own 'bands to see schedule' (without fear of losing your print-out in a field or worrying your phone battery might die) by signing in/logging on to My Glastonbury.

If it's all too much for one weekend, over 100 performances will then be available to watch until Tuesday 26th July 2016, on the BBC Glastonbury website and BBC iPlayer.

At your leisure:

Have a listen to the BBC's Glastonbury playlist on BBC Music, or download the BBC Music app to get tailor made content on your phone or tablet - watch sets from your favourite artists and catch-up with the best interviews from the day.

Just for fun:

Take the 'How Glastonbury are you?' quiz (we got a fair to middling 5/10).

Or read good and bad memories people have shared from past festivals in #GlastWhoa or#GlastWoe.
