Viewers have major complaint as The 1975 kick off Glastonbury headline set

The 1975 have only been on stage for five minutes, but music fans tuning in from home are already booting off about the coverage of their headline set at Glastonbury.

The world-renowned festival at Somerset's Worthy Farm is well and truly underway, and revellers have already enjoyed a few unexpected delights.

Two years after losing his voice live on the Glastonbury stage, Lewis Capaldi made an epic comeback with a secret set - while festivalgoers have also been pleasantly surprised by the bar prices this year, too.

But the biggest bombshell from Friday (27 June) was always going to be what kind of show The 1975 put on while headlining the Pyramid Stage for the first time...and thankfully, it looks as though they aren't going to disappoint.

Which is a good job really, as it would have been a mammoth anti-climax if they missed the mark with their highly anticipated set, which kicked off just after 10pm.

There's been a host of rumours flying around in the lead up to their headline slot, while reports claim that the band have splashed 'four times their actual fee' on the production of the bucket list gig.

And given all of this excitement about Matty Healy, Adam Hann, Ross MacDonald and George Daniel taking to the stage, people have been left pretty gutted that they didn't actually see their live opening on telly.

Loads of Brits are tuning into the BBC's coverage of Glasto to get their music fix from the comfort of their own homes, but viewers didn't get to see the beginning of The 1975's set in real time.

People have been taking to social media to share their frustrations with the broadcaster.

One person said: "BBC WHY THE HECK IS THE 1975 ON MY PHONE LIVE BUT NOT ON MY TELLY."

Another added: "WHY DIDN'T BBC SHOW THEM COMING ON STAGE."

Others complained that the stream was 'crashing' while they were tuning into the band's headline gig.

One fumed: "BBC iPlayer crashing during The 1975 is not it. Been doing it low key all day, but now it’s worse."

And a second said: "BBC iPlayer keeps messing up. You have one job, let me watching The 1975 at Glasto. And I actually have a TV licence, so."

Despite grumbles from some viewers, the crowd seems to be rocking, while frontman Matty Healy opened the show in style - armed with a cig and what appeared to be a pint of Guinness.

He told the crowd, on behalf of the entirety of The 1975: "We cannot thank you enough for coming to see our band."
