Fans of both football and music alike will be faced with some difficult decisions this summer.
Glastonbury Festival will take place between Wednesday June 26 and Sunday June 30, with Dua Lipa, Coldplay and SZA set to headline across the weekend.
Unfortunately for those invested in England’s progress at Euro 2024, the festival will clash with England’s last 16 tie on Sunday, June 30.
Will England games be shown at Glastonbury?
No, is the short answer. Festival organisers have confirmed that there would be no screens showing any Euro 2024 matches.
A Glastonbury spokesperson said: "It won’t be known until the week of the festival whether or not England or Scotland will actually play a match during the festival.
"But, as we have already been asked about our plans, we wanted to let everyone know well in advance that the decision has been made not to screen the potential matches.
"We would like to wish both Gareth Southgate and Steve Clarke’s sides all the best in Germany.

"And we hope we’ll all be able to watch them play quarter-final matches in the days after this year’s Festival."
The focus will be very much on the music at Glastonbury, even if the rest of the nation is glued to Gareth Southgate and his players in the knockout stages.
As England won their group, it means the last-16 clash takes place on Sunday, June 30 at 5pm, during which time Canadian singer Shania Twain will be performing her set during the legends slot at Worthy Farm.
