Football fans at Glastonbury this past weekend faced a dilemma with England’s last-16 fixture against Slovakia scheduled for 5 PM. Despite the match not being screened on Worthy Farm, many sought out pixelated livestreams after Shania Twain’s legend’s slot. Notably, Louis Tomlinson, former One Direction member turned indie musician, organized an unexpected viewing party near the Pyramid stage.
Tomlinson, who had left the festival earlier to procure a television, generator, and internet dongle, originally planned to set up backstage. Due to Wi-Fi issues, however, he relocated to the campsites, drawing a crowd eager to watch alongside him. Dressed in a vintage England windbreaker, Tomlinson quietly observed the game from the front, initially unnoticed by many among the growing audience.
While concerns about obstructing pathways prompted discussions with event organizers, a compromise led to relocating the screening near a campsite. The atmosphere grew tense as England secured victory with late heroics from Jude Bellingham and Harry Kane, sparking jubilant celebrations among festival-goers as the final whistle blew, including a fan lighting a flare in celebration.
