CHANGES have been made to a Colchester Festival with big Britpop names of the 90s to allow the England Euro's Final to be screened.
Summer Sundays is set to bring six big Britpop names to Castle Park this weekend but due to England making it to the Euro's finals, changes have been made.
Bosses at the festival, taking place on July 14, have confirmed the event will be starting early to accommodate screening the finals match which starts at 8pm.
Originally doors were going to open two hours later at 2pm and end at 10.30pm.
The new timings are as follows:
- 12pm - Doors open
- 12.20pm - Tom Hingley plays Inspiral Carpets
- 1.20pm - The View
- 2.20pm - Cast
- 3.30pm - Ash
- 5pm - Embrace
- 6.30pm - Ocean Colour Scene
- 8pm - Match kick-off
Lee Fudge, Summer Sundays marketing manager, said: “We are excited to bring Summer Sundays to Colchester for the first time ever - especially on such a special day.
"With a wide variety of music - including Ocean Colour Scene, good food, drinks and a silent disco, followed by the Euro’s football game, we expect the remaining tickets to sell out quickly.”
There will also be a silent disco, street food, craft beer, fresh cocktails and a festival market for all to enjoy.
Tickets for the full day cost £49.50.
