England's World Cup hotel will have colossal music festival on its doorstep featuring Fatboy Slim and David Guetta

England will have a huge music festival on their doorstep during their time out in Qatar for the World Cup.

The festival is called 'MDL Beast' and will be based in Al Wakra. The event will go on for 28 consecutive days and has a stellar line-up of artists ranging from hip-hop to house and techno music.

Gareth Southgate's team are based just down the road at Souq Al-Wakra hotel.

200,000 party-goers are expected to attend MDL Beast, and FA chiefs have admitted that the party venue is "relatively close", reports The Mirror.

They chose the hotel because of the luxury facilities and convenient location to the England training ground.

Some of the names at the festival include Fatboy Slim, David Guetta and Calvin Harris. The former is due to play on December 6 on a giant Glastonbury-style outdoor stage.

Alcohol will be served at the event, tickets cost roughly £40 and the music will go until 2am.

The event has been designed to offer travelling football fans large-scale entertainment while out in Qatar.

The MDL Beast organisers did consider using other venues but decided to go for Al Wakra based on the principle of respecting the values and culture of the Middle East.

England face the USA, Iran and Wales at the tournament which kicks off next month.
