Lily Allen is back on the party scene, having recently shared that she stayed up partying until 4am at Dua Lipa's Wembley after party, and as is Moss.

But can you watch at home - and why is it important that people can tune in? Kneecap are set to perform perhaps the most talked about set of the weekend at Glastonbury Festival. The Prime Minister of our country seemed to feel like it is such a pressing concern that he has weighed in on it - amid a heatwave and the continued cost-of-living crisis. The hip-hop trio from Belfast are due to take to one of the main stages at Worthy Farm in the coming days. A regular foe of the group, Kemi Badenoch, has even called for the set to be censored by the BBC - perhaps in a desperate attempt to stay relevant amid plummeting polling.

Here's all you need to know - as of Monday, June 23. Will Kneecap's Glastonbury Festival set be on TV? Kneecap are due to perform at Glastonbury 2025 | HENRY NICHOLLS/AFP via Getty Images Throughout the weekend, the BBC will be providing plenty of live coverage from Worthy Farm. It will be split across terrestrial TV and iPlayer - with it also being on the radio as well. Kneecap are due to perform on the West Holts stage on Saturday (June 28) at 4pm. This is one of the five stages that will have dedicated live streams on the Beeb's streaming platform.

It means that if you want to watch, make sure you have Why Kneecap's set needs to be televised in 2025 If we turned the clocks back a year, you probably were not aware of Kneecap at all - however they have become increasingly controversial and the subject of much media interest. Ironically, of course, that does include this article. Over the weekend figures from across the political spectrum have weighed in on the group's upcoming slot at Glastonbury. The Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer told The Sun that it was 'not appropriate' for the trio to appear while Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch urged the BBC not to show their set. The band's vocal support for the Palestinian cause has seen them embroiled in a media whirlwind. Comments made during a concert allegedly in support of Hezbollah - a proscribed group in the UK - saw member Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh (who performs under the stage name Mo Chara) charged, although he had been released under conditional bail after a court appearance this month. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Whether you enjoy Kneecap's music or agree with their views, it feels like a dangerous president for the Prime Minister trying to influence the line-up of one of the country's biggest music festivals. If you don't want to watch Kneecap this weekend, then don't go to the iPlayer app and find the live stream. But the trio undoubtedly have a message that many people want to listen to and they deserve to be heard - if all of the other acts on the West Holts stage will be as well. You control the buttons you press after all - and you can simply put on one of the four other live streams during their set. I hope the BBC don't give into political pressure, because censoring Kneecap would be a deeply embarrassing moment and set a dangerous precedent.

Glastonbury festivalgoers are expected to use 270 TERABYTES of data during the five-day event - the equivalent of uploading 77 million Instagram photos

The day that festivalgoers have been waiting for is almost finally here. On Wednesday, Glastonbury Festival will officially open its gates to over 200,000 attendees, excited to see the likes of Charli XCX, Doechii, and Rod Stewart. Ahead of the event, Vodafone has revealed the staggering amount of data it expects to be used over the five days. Despite there being fewer attendees, the tech giant predicts that data consumption on site will rise by 20 per cent on last year. In total, Vodafone says that it's anticipating a whopping 270 terabytes of data being used during the festival. To put that into perspective, that's the equivalent of 87,000 hours of HD video streaming, streaming 28 million songs on Spotify, or uploading 77 million Instagram photo posts. 'We know how important staying connected is to the overall festival experience,' said Andrea Dona, Chief Network Officer at VodafoneThree. 'We're excited to return to Worthy Farm this year and deliver the highest capacity ever, ensuring attendees have the best possible experience.' To keep up with the demand for data during the five-day festival, Vodafone is deploying 11 masts across the 900-acre Worthy View site. 'This year, we have gone even further with both our network and app so fans can connect seamlessly with their friends and family and get as much out of Glastonbury as possible,' Ms Dona added. 'I'm delighted we can deliver an even bigger and better experience for Vodafone customers on our reliable, award-winning network for Festivalgoers.' Vodafone's data predictions come shortly after it launched its Glastonbury app. The tech giant has added a step counter to the 'My Highlights' section of the app, where users can compare their activity to their friends. What's more, Vodafone will match the daily average step count with donations to - Vodafone's campaign to help people and businesses cross the digital divide by providing connectivity, devices and skills to those who need it most. Aside from new step counter, Vodafone has also added several exciting new features. People who find it hard to stick with the group will be happy to hear that there's now a live location sharing option. Meanwhile, those who are excitedly planning their days will enjoy the Shared Line-ups feature, which allows you to plan your itinerary in line with your friends. In addition, Vodafone has added the ability to shortlist acts via 'Add to Favourites', helping users to distinguish between their locked line-up and their top considerations at one quick glance. Finally, the map has been given an 'intuitive' search feature. So whether you're trying to hunt down a delicious burrito, find your tent, or pinpoint the merch stand, you can simply use the seach bar within the app to look for it. Vodafone's Official Glastonbury Festival App for 2025 is available now on both App Store and the Google Play Store. Beyond the app itself, Vodafone will also be offering free phone charging and WiFi at its Connect & Charge tent at the centre of the Glastonbury site.
