MK Dons announce watch party at Stadium MK for England v Panama World Cup tie

MK Dons have announced that the SMK Live music event will include a watch party for England’s World Cup match against Panama.

Following the musical line-up on Saturday 27 June, the stadium will broadcast the action live from the United States as England play Panama in their World Cup match. The organisers are billing the broadcast as one of the biggest screenings of the game taking place in the UK for the World Cup.

Basement Jaxx are performing as the headline act on the 27th, with a supporting bill that includes Clean Bandit, Groove Armada, Jax Jones, Sigma, Katy B and Moonchild Sanelly. There will also be a to-be-announced half-time guest who will perform at half-time during the England-Panama match.

Viewing the game in the stadium will be available for ticket holders only and no separate tickets will be issued for game-viewing alone.

Tickets to attend the festival are available now from MK Dons, Ticketmaster and other ticket vendors.

SMK Live will be an inaugural festival launching in 2026, with a second night on 28 June headlined by the Black Eyed Peas in a UK exclusive headline show.

England’s match against Panama will be the last of their three group stage games at the World Cup, with the game taking place in New Jersey. The Three Lions’ group also contains fixtures against Croatia and Ghana.
