Turn us up! We're getting you hyped for the World Cup with big tunes, big vibes and a massive party before kick-off.

The World Cup is finally here and we're kicking things off the only way we know how – with a massive party.

Whether you're getting ready with your mates, on your way to the watch-along, firing up the group chat or already in full football mode, we've got everything you need to get the celebrations started. Expect huge tunes, unbeatable vibes and nothing but feel-good energy as we build up to tonight's opening match.

This isn't just the warm-up – this is the party before the party. Wherever you are, whatever you're doing, turn us up and get involved as we bring the atmosphere, the soundtrack and the excitement ahead of a huge night of football.

And when the final whistle blows, the party doesn't stop. Take us with you on BBC Sounds and keep the vibes going wherever you are.

Listen live or catch up anytime on BBC Sounds.
