There’s plenty more music on offer, from the likes of DJ Sev and others, as well as some stunning freestyle football tricks by Nicolas Kharumnuid from Smit and a magic act by John Lanong.
The event will then be capped off between the final between France and Croatia on a giant 30-foot by 20-foot LED screen, the two teams that have battled their way through the field of 32 to contest the grand finale.
