The Secret Act has been non-stop talked about since it was first announced earlier this month. Rumors have been circling about who it could be, but it now appears centered on one man in Lewis Capaldi.

It would not just be the Scottish Beyonce's first Glastonbury appearance since the audience pitched in to help him out with his set in 2023 due to much publicized mental health issues, it would actually be FIRST major gig since then.

There have been a couple of minor outings but he seems to have saved the big return for the Pyramid Stage. And, with his new single, 'Survive' dropping today it could be the highlight of the opening day.

Below are all the details you need to watch Lewis Capaldi and live stream Glastonbury 2025 for FREE and from anywhere.

Using a VPN is incredibly simple.

1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we've said, NordVPN is our favorite.

2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance, if you're away from the U.K. but want to view BBC iPlayer as usual, you'd select a U.K. server from the list.

3. Sit back and enjoy the action. Head over to BBC iPlayer and enjoy Capaldi's set.


Can you watch Lewis Capaldi at Glastonbury in the U.S., Australia or Canada?

The Glastonbury Festival is only shown in the U.K. so you won't find this Glastonbury set in any international listings.

However, if you're currently on holiday in the U.S., Australia or Canada from the U.K.. You can download one of the best VPN services and tap into your FREE home coverage of Glastonbury 2025 through the BBC iPlayer. We recommend NordVPN.
