THOUSANDS of festival-goers set to party on Southampton Common this weekend WILL get the chance to watch England's crunch World Cup quarter-final match.
Organisers of retro festival, Let's Rock Southampton, have announced plans for a giant screen at the event on Saturday.
The screen will show England's World Cup quarter-final game with Sweden, which kicks-off at 3pm.
The announcement was made on Twitter just hours after England won their first ever World Cup penalty shoot-out, beating Colombia 4-3 on penalties, after a 1-1 draw in Moscow.
In an online post, organisers said: "Before you ask, yes we have a screen to show the match on Saturday."
Alongside the football, festival-goers at Let's Rock will have plenty of live music acts to chose from.
Heading the spangled line-up will be New Romantic Adam Ant, with other confirmed acts including Sister Sledge, ABC and Midge Ure.
Go West, Kim Appleby, Sara Cox Presents Just Can’t Get Enough 80S, Atomic Kitten, Snap! Heather Small, The Blockheads and Transvision Vamp’s Wendy James are some of the other names on the list.
The action-packed one-day musical extravaganza will also feature The Smash Hits Party Live: Hazel Dean, Fuzzbox, Bow Wow Wow’s Annabella, Brother Beyond, Peter Coyle ex Lotus Eaters and Black Lace’s Conga Party.
Gates open at 10am with music from midday.
The show ends at 10.30pm.
