England fans are just finding out about huge clash this weekend if team wins tonight

Festivalgoers and football fans have been forced to pick a lane

People are really having to pick a lane this week and have faced quite the impossible decision - football or festivals?

As you are probably aware, loads of Brits are currently either watching the Three Lions take on Slovenia or frantically packing their festival gear to head to Glastonbury tomorrow (26 June).

Although both of these may sound like attractive prospects, unfortunately, you can't have both.

You either stay loyal to Gareth Southgate and the lads throughout Euro 2024 and cheer them on, or you travel down to Somerset for the time of your life at the iconic festival.

That's because Glastonbury has announced that it will not be showing England's next match at the four-day festival - and the news is really testing the loyalty of a lot of music lovers and sports fans.

The lads are set to face off against a Group D team next Sunday at 5pm, if they come out on top of Group C.

If England are in second place, they will hit the pitch at 8pm on Saturday instead.

But if the lads somehow finish third in the group, their round-of-16 tie will take place on Monday - however, no matter what day it is, no one at Glastonbury will be watching it.

The world-renowned festival, which takes place from 26 June to 30 June, released a statement regarding it's controversial decision before Scotland were knocked out of the tournament on Sunday (23 June).

The festival organisers said: "In previous years, we have endeavoured to show notable matches on big screens where possible, particularly on days before the main stages have opened.

"However, with England and Scotland's last 16 matches potentially clashing with headline sets at this year's festival, the decision has been made that - as in 2014 and 2016 - should England or Scotland qualify from their groups, their last 16 matches will not be shown at the festival.

"We would like to wish both Gareth Southgate and Steve Clarke's sides all the best in Germany. And we hope we'll all be able to watch them play quarter-final matches in the days after this year's festival," it added.

Thousands of people are flocking to Worthy Farm as the gates for Glastonbury open tomorrow, with headliners this year including the likes of Dua Lipa, Coldplay, and SZA.

But sadly, festivalgoers can't enjoy the best of both worlds this year and will miss out on England's next game.

There was mixed reaction to the news on social media, with some supporting the move, while others were left gutted.

One wrote: "Good job I ain't going then!"

Another said: "And why should it? It’s not a football fan zone, it’s a celebration of music."

A third added: "They've made the right decision, the headliners are so s**t this year most people would probably watch England instead."

While a fourth said: "Lucky Glastonbury."
