What to Watch Tonight: Elton John and Glastonbury
Glastonbury Festival coverage cumulates with Sir Elton John headlining, tonight at 9pm on BBC One.
Clara Amfo, Lauren Laverne, Jack Saunders and Jo Whiley present a historic moment in the history of Glastonbury Festival and British music – Elton John’s last ever U.K. show.
Elton arrives in the fields of Worthy Farm to make his debut, headlining the Pyramid Stage and closing an amazing weekend of live music. With a career of hits spanning over five decades it’s guaranteed to be a spectacular and emotional swan song to one of the world’s greatest showmen.
Prior to Elton, Clara Amfo, Lauren Laverne and Jack Saunders are live from the third and final day of Glastonbury, introducing one of the most loved moments and coveted sets of the weekend, known as the tea-time Legends slot.
This year it’s the turn of British folk singer-songwriter Yusuf/Cat Stevens who first shot to fame in the late 1960s with his Top 10 album ‘Matthew & Son.’ Set to serenade the Pyramid Stage crowd with classics like Father and Son, Wild World, Where Do The Children Play?, Moonshadow and Morning Has Broken, he is sure to encourage a united sing-a-long moment.
From the Other Stage, chart-topping pop vocal powerhouse Becky Hill makes her debut with a spectacular show that no doubt will bring the dancefloor to the fields of Worthy Farm.
There will also be a couple of live performances in the studio with Bristol Reggae Orchestra and the Windrush choir, the opening act on the Pyramid Stage.
