Even to some of the most glittering names in music, the pitch is compelling. There is a gig. It is a very short gig: a tight six minutes or so.

There are acts that look back on their brush with soccer fondly, artists who serve as beacons of hope for the (somewhat unwieldy) trio that is scheduled to play just before the final of Euro 2024 on Sunday in Berlin.
