There are selected performances in HDR from Glastonbury and Centre Count will all be HDR.

I checked on what was coming from Glastonbury's Pyramid stage. It was UHD, in stereo and in HDR (to be exact it was HLG, not surprising as HLG was developed for live broadcasts).

It is a hit and miss finding HLG/HDR - bit hit and missing finding something really live too.

I believe that UHD and HLG comes only from Glastonbury's Pyramid stage.

I clicked on the iPlayer app on my 360 10 minutes before Macca was due to start and selected the UHD feed. 

It failed to start, but was playing on my LGTV in UHD - I had to log out of the app on my 360 and log back in to get it to play. It was constantly stuttering (ethernet connection) but played fine on my LGTV built in app.

The UHD was from that stage - but not everything from that stage seemed to be UHD.
