Worthy Farm has closed its gates once again until next year but the 50th anniversary festival will be a tough one to forget. Paul McCartney and Kendrick Lamar headlined the Pyramid Stage, Diana Ross had the Sunday legends' slot, while Billie Eilish blew the crowd away with her headline opening night performance.
Tickets were, of course, like gold dust and the 200,000 or more who went will be counting their lucky stars for a long time – well, once they've got back home and managed to dry out all their gear.
Fortunately, the armchair experience from the BBC was one to remember too with Glastonbury 2022 marking the first time the BBC has broadcast a music event in 4K. What's more, with live streams of the five biggest stages, it was a pleasure to be able to switch performances without having to trek the 40 minutes between each venue.
Best of all, most of the bigger shows are still there to enjoy until the end of July 2022 which should give you a chance to pretty much see them all and decide for yourself what the very best gig was at Glastonbury 2022. So, read on for all the information or how to watch Glastonbury 2022 on-demand from anywhere in the world.
