Is Paul McCartney’s set on iPlayer?

It will be on the streaming platform for 28 days.

However, fans were frustrated about the length of time it took to get the performance up on the streaming service.

One fan took to Twitter, tweeting: “Where is Paul McCartney’s set on I Player? Was disappointed at the delay in showing it last night, sat down to enjoy it today and it’s not there”

What have the BBC said?

In a statement given to Metro, the BBC outlined the cause of delays.

They explained: “This year we are delighted to bring audiences our most extensive coverage of Glastonbury to date.

“Paul McCartney’s much anticipated set was broadcast on BBC One at 10.30pm as well as on Radio 2 and will be available on BBC iPlayer and BBC Sounds.

“Due to the complexity of broadcasting an event of this scale and the volume of performances we cover, there is sometimes variation between performances taking place and their transmission.”

However, it’s not unusual for a programme to take 24 hours to be available to watch on iPlayer after airing on the BBC.

What was Paul McCartney’s full set list?

The 80-year-old former Beatle played for three hours, including an expansive encore.

McCartney surprised fans by singing a duet with a virtual reality John Lennon.
