Glastonbury has finally announced its headliners much to gig-goers’ excitement but the timing could mean a hard decision for football fans.
The Somerset festival will welcome 210,000 music fans from Wednesday, June 26, through to the epic final day on Sunday, June 30.
Incredible news for anyone who managed to bag Glasto tickets, Shania Twain will be impressing everyone (much) as she belts out her hits in the coveted Legends slot.
Last year saw an epic first and last performance in the slot, with Rocketman Elton John giving a jaw-dropping set with special guests.
However, this could actually clash with England’s fixture at the Euro 2024 should they win the group C as Gareth Southgate is hoping.
Shania, 58, will take to the Pyramid Stage on Sunday at around 5pm, which would clash with England possibly playing a third-place group D team.

Placing second at that stage won’t dodge a headliner either as the game would then interfere with Coldplay’s set on Saturday.
This will be the band’s fifth time headlining, which has caused a little bit of commotion among Glasto-goers as they lamented the same group ‘again’.
England’s Euro 2024 journey will kick off on June 16 with a match in Gelsenkirchen against Serbia, before a game against Denmark four days later.
Assuming they win their group, England will move on to the next stage and face the third-place team from groups D, E or F.
In fact, anything other than a third-place finish in their group will mean some sort of Glasto clash is likely.
Despite English footie fans possibly facing a huge decision, the Canadian country star is feeling upbeat about what will surely be an iconic performance.

She told Zoe Ball on her Breakfast Show: ‘I really am so excited. I mean, the best part of it is being able to share it now. It’s just so exciting.
‘It’s been hard to keep it to myself, to be honest. So I’m really glad that this is announced. And I’m just buzzing.
‘There’s like a stamp that comes with this slot and I feel like I’m there, I’ve arrived at this slot. It’s going to be gorgeous, at sunset time, it is stunning.
‘I’ve watched some of the other performances and I’m already planning what I’m going to wear. You know, all that exciting stuff.’
Along with the Giddy Up! legend, Dua Lipa and SZA will also be making history at this year’s festival, as it marks the first time in Glastonbury’s 54-year history that female acts have taken two of the three headline slots.
Rounding out the festival are names like LCD Soundsystem, Little Simz, Cyndi Lauper, Keane, Burna Boy, PJ Harvey, Olivia Dean and Paloma Faith.
