The event, Live At Worthy Farm, was due to start at 7pm but many reported on social media they were unable to access the stream due to an invalid codes error message.
A tweet from the official Glastonbury festival account said: So sorry to those of you who haven t been able to get onto the stream yet. We re speaking to Driift to find out what the issue is and trying to do everything we can to get this sorted ASAP. Please bear with us.
