There will be a free World Cup screening at the Odeon this Saturday, with the Australia versus USA match livestreamed from Seattle onto a large high-definition screen.

After videos of fans celebrating the Socceroos' World Cup win at live sites in Melbourne and Sydney went viral on Sunday, many Hobart locals were left wondering why nothing had been organised in their city.

DarkLab and the City of Hobart have teamed up to put on the event, which kicks off at 5am on Saturday.

DarkLab CEO Leigh Carmichael said the venue would be lit green and gold, while Hobart Lord Mayor Anna Reynolds said the event added “another vibrant layer” to winter festivities.

Free tickets will be released on the Odeon website from 10am Thursday, with beanbags provided, breakfast rolls and hot drinks for sale and no alcohol served.

The Notorious Strumpets Tour explores the realities behind these labels and reveals the humanity of the women who lived within these walls.

Hear the stories history almost left behind.
