This year’s Isle of Wight Festival will get underway earlier than ever before to celebrate England’s EUROs group stage match against Denmark. Organisers have revealed this afternoon (Thursday) that the Big Top field will open at 16:30 for some pre-match build-up, before kick-off at 17:00. This will be followed by a post-match debrief with That Peter Crouch Podcast Live. With the festival taking place in the middle of EURO 2024, the UK’s most listened to sports podcast will bring football banter, insightful discussions and banging tunes from the RPJ Band to the festival, led by host Peter Couch. It’s the perfect way to kick off the festival weekend. Once the podcast wraps, the RPJ Band will perform, followed by Norwegian singer/songwriter Dagny and finally, iconic pop/rock band Scouting For Girls will close the Big Top on Thursday night. The England game will also be shown outdoors on a big screen in Electric Ladyland.
