Milburn legend Joe Carnall to play Sheffield Euro fan zone ahead of quarter final

The lead singer of legendary Sheffield band Milburn will be putting on a special performance at the city’s very own Euro Fan City this weekend.

Joe Carnell, chief songsmith of the indie band, will perform before the quarter final match between England and Switzerland kicks off at 5pm on Saturday, June 6.

Described by organisers as “South Yorkshire’s ultimate fanzone”, the area on Devonshire Green is complete with a giant screen and food and drink deals. It has also added a live music programme to its entertainment roster and indie fans are in for a treat this weekend.

Fan City has already welcomed thousands of fans this summer and a string of high profile guests including England legends Chris Waddle and Viv Anderson plus live anthemic musical chanting in the form of Everly Pregnant Brothers and The Rosadocs.

Milburn released their debut album, ‘Well Well Well’ in 2006. They were all friends who quickly made a name for themselves for delivering amazing live shows, selling out venues and playing such legendary establishments as the Cavern Club and The Garage, as well as supporting fellow Sheffielders the Arctic Monkeys.

Despite splitting up, the band got back together in 2016 and are set to perform their biggest headlining show ever at the Rock N Roll Circus at Don Valley Bowl on Saturday, August 31.

The 2000-capacity football and food village offers the best atmosphere to cheer on the Three Lions. With the biggest outdoor screens in South Yorkshire, fans have been experiencing England’s matches like never before.

Tickets for the England v Switzerland game are just £10 plus booking fees for advance ticket buyers. For more information about Fan City's events and to grab your tickets, click here. For a full list of events you can click here .
