Sir Paul McCartney pulled in one of the biggest crowds that the Pyramid Stage has ever seen at Glastonbury 2022 when he headlined Saturday at the festival, and we were beginning to get worried that it was never going to land on BBC iPlayer to watch all over again. The good news is that his landmark set, along with special guests Dave Grohl, Bruce Springsteen and even a virtual duet with John Lennon, is now available to watch on-demand and in full until the end of July. Here's how to watch Paul McCartney at Glastonbury 2022 wherever you are in the world.

There were complaints at the time of the gig that the BBC did not air Sir Paul's performance live and there were concerns that licensing issues of one sort or another were going to get in way. Fortunately, it was just a temporary problem and Macca's material is now available to watch for the next 29 days, at least.
Sir Paul McCartney became Glastonbury Festival's oldest solo headliner when he walked out onto the Pyramid Stage. But the 80-year-old icon of British music was not alone for long. Foo Fighters front man Dave Grohl stepped out to join him, in his first appearance since the death of drummer Taylor Hawkins, to play I Saw Her Standing There with the headliner. Grohl joined in for the last song too along with Bruce Springsteen who had played Glory Days and I Wanna Be Your Man on the night as well. You can take a look at the full setlist here.
Arguably, the most special moment for McCartney, though, was his virtual duet with former Beatles compadre John Lennon, with the long lost front man's isolated lyrics from I've Got A Feeling. But enough with the appetite whetting. Go and see it for yourself! Read on for all the details of how to watch Paul McCartney's Glastonbury 2022 set online from wherever you are.
