If you want a LONG STORY, keep reading:

Ten rows down, to the right, in Orange. Note the other sapphic / queer artists also on the lineup (Shura, Billie Eilish, Janelle Monae, Christine & The Queens, Years & Years, Lizzo, etc)

Ever since I found out about KP playing Glasto in 2019, I wanted to watch it. But the livestreams on BBC 1 Iplayer have been down for years, and even when they were up, you couldn't watch unless you lived in the UK or portions of Europe. Highly frustrating.

For a brief time back in 2019 however, almost all of the 2019 Glasto performances WERE online for view, and some dedicated preservationists / archivists / tapers / bootleggers ripped them for history and shared to Sharemania. This was where I first read about it existing. Very few people downloaded KP at the time though, they just weren't as into her as they were other artists. 

We can see from here that the HD lost media file was originally 1.71 gigs and 720p. So the current file we found today is a lower quality, but at the bare minimum preserves it for now until I can purchase the full HD direct from the B B C archives in England. 

King Princess sings on The Park stage, Glastonbury Festival, June 28th, 2019

Thrilled to say I finally discovered KP's lost Glastonbury 2019 set in FULL and on the SURFACE WEB no less.... on a Chinese version of Youtube (?!) uncensored too!

SUPER STOKED... please enjoy! Using a video ripper, I've extracted the files in 480p from the Chinese site. The audio is very crisp and clear for what it is, and I can't wait to actually chop that up into a workable album. 

Part of the reason I suspect I was unable to find this before today; was that I was always searching for the exact title or associated words, always running "king princess glastonbury 2019" through search engines and such. But it wasn't listed under those keywords, and that's how it's stayed hidden. 

look at that happy legend

This Chinese youtube site Bilibili, got pretty creative. Instead of saying it was Glastonbury at any point, they simply titled this video as, "the full premiere of King Princess's latest performance!" And the date was July 2019... and the timestamps went as far as 46:58.... and we know from the previous research and the official BBC player website the performance is right exactly at 47 minutes or so. So this was what started to get me super excited that we might indeed be on the right path to tracking this video down.

I CAN'T BELIEVE WE FOUND IT FOR REAL THOUGH AFTER ALL THESE MONTHS.

Even the day after the concert appeared online, fans on Sharemania were requesting something playable in the United States, and not getting any reply:

Requests for this performance date back to as early as the day after it aired.

I anticipate eventually making another post with the crisper 1080 version if that is possible or at the bare minimum a 720.
