Chappell Roan will make her Reading and Leeds headline debut this weekend when she plays the iconic festival.
If you didn’t manage to get a ticket or can’t easily get to that part of the UK, you’ll still be able to watch the Midwest Princess on the BBC iPlayer.
And if you’re going to be out of the country this weekend grabbing some summer sun, you’ll still be able to stream the set live through a VPN.
How to watch in the UK
If you’re in the UK and have a TV licence, you can watch an hour’s worth of highlights from Chappell Roan’s headline set via the BBC iPlayer or on BBC One at 10.40pm on Friday night.
If you’re on holiday outside of the UK and don’t want to miss the show, you can watch it live with the help of a VPN. Find details below.

Has Chappell Roan played Reading & Leeds before?
This year will be the first time that Chappell Roan has headlined the Reading and Leeds festivals, with the set coming less than two years since Roan released their debut album The Rise and Fall Of A Midwest Princess.
Roan’s latest single The Subway was released earlier this month.
