By Press Release
Today Barclaycard presents the IW Festival announces that That Peter Crouch Podcast Live will open the festival earlier than ever before to celebrate England’s EUROs group stage match against Denmark, taking place on the opening day of the festival, Thursday June 20. The Big Top Field will open at 4.30pm for some pre-match podcast build up, before kick off at 5pm, followed by a post-match podcast debrief with Crouchy and the team.
With the festival taking place in the middle of EURO 2024, the UK’s most listened to sports podcast will bring football banter, insightful discussions and banging tunes from the RPJ Band to the festival, led by host Peter Couch. It’s the perfect way to kick off the festival weekend.
Once the podcast wraps, the RPJ Band will perform, followed by Norwegian singer/songwriter Dagny and finally, iconic pop/rock band Scouting For Girls will close the Big Top on Thursday night. The England game will also be shown outdoors on a big screen in Electric Ladyland.
Festivalgoers have also started planning their costumes as the festival’s 2024 theme was revealed as ‘Summer Solstice’. Flower crowns, fairy wings, midsummer folklore and more will adorn those on site who, as is the festival’s tradition, will gather in Strawberry Fields at 3pm on Saturday 22nd June for their chance to be crowned best dressed, with judging hosted by Miss Molly McQueen from Cirque de la Quirk.
Beyond the main stages, the Festival is thrilled to bring back Cirque de la Quirk, Down by the River, Electro Love, Hipshaker Lounge, Intoxicated Tea Rooms, Kashmir Café, Kidzone, Octopus’ Garden, Platform One Stage and This Feeling! to the 2024 event.
These incredible new additions to the 2024 line-up join previously announced headliners including legendary English electronic group The Prodigy, who have been entertaining crowds with their iconic electronic anthems for over three decades; Pet Shop Boys, headlining the Main Stage on Saturday night, with “DREAMWORLD The Greatest Hits Live”; and American rock heroes and one of the world’s biggest-selling artists Green Day, who will close the Festival’s Main Stage on Sunday night in a UK festival exclusive.
Over June 20 – 23 the festival will also host incredible performances from acts including Scouting For Girls, Suede, Jo Whiley’s 90s Anthems, The Streets, Keane, Simple Minds, Beverley Knight, Zara Larsson, Jake Shears, Dagny, McFly, Pet Shop Boys, The Bootleg Beatles, Picture This, Blossoms, Nothing But Thieves, Crowded House, The Darkness, Toyah & Robert Fripp, Rick Parfitt Jnr & The RPJ Band, The Mary Wallopers and The K’s.
