TV viewers were unable to watch Arctic Monkeys' performance at Reading Festival in the UK on Saturday night after the band requested the set was not shown live.
The group headlined the event’s main stage with a setlist including R U Mine?, I Bet You Look Good On The Dance Floor and new track I Ain’t Quite Where I Think I Am.
The BBC said fans would be able to watch them on BBC One from 11.35pm on Sunday.
A tweet from BBC Radio 1 on Saturday said: "At the artists request, we will not be able to bring you the Arctic Monkeys set live this evening.
"But you will be able to watch them tomorrow on BBC One, from 23:35."

The tweet prompted a shocked reaction from some fans who were hoping to watch the performance live.
Arctic Monkeys are due to close the sister festival in Leeds on Sunday night.
The band – frontman Alex Turner, guitarist Jamie Cook, bassist Nick O’Malley and drummer Matt Helders – announced their seventh studio album, The Car, earlier this week.
The record was partly recorded in a priory and comes four years after their last record, 2018’s Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino.
The group’s debut, Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not, was released in January 2006 to critical acclaim and commercial success.
