Why does it not match the same coverage as what’s available in the UK?
Contractual obligations mean that we are unable to show wider festival coverage outside of the UK. The livestream of Dua Lipa and Coldplay’s performance shown on bbc.com will match the live coverage streamed to UK audiences.
I’m having technical problems with the stream – what can I do?
Buffering can sometimes be caused by the connection between your router and your device. To play the stream smoothly and without interruption, you’ll need a good internet connection.
Here are some suggestions for improving your internet connection:
· Disconnect other devices using the same network
· If possible, try an alternative browser
· If possible, try a wired connection

No, there is no associated cost or payment required to watch the livestream of Dua Lipa or Coldplay’s performance.
Can I watch the livestream from any country?
