Manford said tickets to his gig would be transferable or refunded

A host of concerts, comedy gigs and other live performances are being axed or altered this week due to England's World Cup semi-final against Croatia.

Comics Jason Manford and Chris Ramsay have postponed Wednesday's shows in Stevenage and Ulverston respectively.

Justin Timberlake will screen the game before his concert at the O2 in London, while All Saints will wait for the game to finish before beginning theirs.

"I heard there's a big game on tomorrow before our show," Timberlake wrote.

"So I had a little chat with @TheO2." He added: "For the first time ever... we're going to play this England-Croatia match up on my big screens."

The big match will also be shown before Niles Rodgers' concert with Chic at Alnwick Castle in Northumberland.

In their own Twitter message, All Saints said they would be on stage at the Electric Brixton in south London at 21:30 BST.

"We couldn't let you miss the #WorldCup now, could we?" said the girl group, who will also be showing the game before their concert.

Manford took to social media to inform fans he would "bow under the weight of an expectant and hopeful nation" and postpone his appearance.

His concert at the Gordon Craig Theatre in Stevenage, Hertfordshire, had already been put back once due to bad weather when the "Beast from the East" hit the UK in March.

Ramsay, meanwhile, said his gig in Ulverston in Cumbria would be postponed until 19 September "due to the fact that it's blatantly coming home".

Elsewhere, organisers of the Kew the Music festival in south-west London said they would display the score in various places while the Gipsy Kings perform.

But screenings in Middlesbrough's Centre Square have been axed due to "outbreaks of disorder" during a showing of England's quarter-final against Sweden.

Football fever has also found its way into the Eggheads studio, from where host Jeremy Vine posted this cheeky message.
