England final to be screened at Musicom
Football fans will cheer on local hero Jude Bellingham at Musicom this Sunday, with the England v Spain Euro 2024 final set to be screened.
The Himley Hall and Park event, which is organised by Dudley Council as part of the Black Country Festival, will have a huge 45m2 screen in the park to let fans watch the match after the live entertainment has finished.
Those attending will be treated to a host of top tribute acts to artists, including Tina Turner, Madness, Taylor Swift, Bruno Mars, Michael Buble and Fleetwood Mac, from 12 noon to 8pm. The park will then remain open to ticket holders until the England final finishes, with food and drinks stalls available throughout.
On Saturday the Symphonix Rock Orchestra will headline alongside tributes to Oasis and the Foo Fighters. The event will run from 5pm to 10pm. There will also be a comedy tent, funfair, food and drink stalls, street entertainment and performances from local bands and musicians on both days.
The weekend event will take place this year thanks to a £365,000 grant from the Commonwealth Games Legacy Fund.
Councillor Patrick Harley, leader of Dudley Council, said:
“Musicom is a fantastic family friendly event that brings thousands of people to Himley Park every summer and now with England in the final, there is even more reason to celebrate.
“We are so excited to see our local hero Jude and the England team play in the final on Sunday, and with the big screen everyone at Musicom will be able to get behind our boys for this historic match.
“Tickets will sell very quickly for this momentous event, so I’d encourage people to get online and book theirs now.”
