Good news, Glastonbury sofa watchers, you'll be able to watch the festival on the BBC for the foreseeable future.

BBC Music has inked a deal to continue broadcasting proceedings from Worthy Farm for the next five years – so that's up to 2022.

"We have worked closely with a fantastic team at the BBC since 1997, it has become an integral part of what we do at Glastonbury," organiser Emily Eavis said.

"Together we have created something really special – two decades of historic live broadcast from many of the biggest names in contemporary music. We are all very excited to look ahead to another five Glastonburys alongside the much-treasured BBC."

The BBC is known for its extensive coverage of the festival, last year reaching 18.9 million viewers with over 25 hours of TV coverage, as well as radio broadcasts and online live streams.

The new contract comes a few days after it was confirmed that the festival will stay at Worthy Farm, despite previous comments by founder Michael Eavis about events moving to a new location in years to come.

Emily insisted that "Glastonbury will always be here at Worthy Farm", revealing they had signed a 17-year contract with a neighbouring farmer.

However, the organisers are working on a separate festival called the Variety Bazaar to be held at a different location over the next few years.

The line-up for this year's Glastonbury was unveiled last week, with the likes of Katy Perry, Lorde and The xx joining headliners Radiohead, Foo Fighters and Ed Sheeran.
