“I would like to thank Emily and Michael Eavis once again for allowing us this exclusive access to their very special creation, as only the BBC can bring the nation together to enjoy their beloved festival.”
The Glastonbury presenter teams include Annie Macmanus, Clara Amfo, Deb Grant, DJ Target, Greg James, Huw Stephens, Jack Saunders, Jamz Supernova, Jo Whiley, Lauren Laverne, Nathan Shepherd, Nick Grimshaw, Steve Lamacq and Zoe Ball.
