one sound world presents:
WORLD CUP MUSIC FESTIVAL
WATCH THE GAME. FEEL THE MUSIC
From June 11 to July 19, the World Cup Music Festival will transform the FIFA World Cup 2026 into something uniquely New York. Each game in July and select games in June will be screened live on a full professional system, bringing fans together in real time to share the tension, joy, and pride of the game. When the final whistle blows, the focus shifts seamlessly from screen to stage as live bands and curated DJs perform music rooted in the cultures of the teams that just played.
Under the banner “Watch the Game. Feel the Music,” programming for World Cup Music Festival will span multiple weeks aligning key matchups with genre-specific performances Brazil with Brazilian bands, Mexico with Mariachi, Eastern European teams with Balkan Brass bands and DJ sets.
Evenings build into headline concerts and dance-floor celebrations curated by Drom with each country’s musical identity. Country-specific beer selections, themed cultural touches, and thoughtful scheduling ensure that each night feels distinct like stepping into a different corner of the world without leaving New York.
