Doves to Man the Decks for England's World Cup Matches

Doves are among the acts showing their support for Mother England during the World Cup by playing DJ sets which coincide with screenings of their home team's matches at London's Relentless Garage.

It's not a dramatic departure for the melancholic UK rockers as its three members, Jez Williams, Andy Williams and Jimi Goodwin, were all originally in dance-oriented group Sub Sub throughout the 1990s. Among those joining Doves in the Relentless Garage lineup is ex-Stone Roses and current Primal Scream bassist Mani, who will kick things off at the venue when England plays its World Cup opener against the U.S. on June 12. You can check out the complete lineup below:

England vs USA: Kid British (live), Mani (DJ set) (June 12)

England vs Algeria: Doves (DJ set), Sound Of Guns Live (June 18)

England vs Slovenia: Ian Broudie (live), The Twang (DJ set) (June 23)

Possible England second round match: The Rifles (live), Jersey Budd (live), Soccer AM DJs (June 26 or 27)

Possible England quarter final: Starsailor's James Walsh (live), TBA
