And for those attending the concert, and anyone else living, working or travelling in the area, a number of roads will be closed near the stadium, to prevent gridlock and to allow the coaches and buses to get to the venue.
Traffic heading from South Bristol to the Cumberland Basin will be diverted around the South Bristol Link Road to the Long Ashton bypass, or over Bedminster Bridge, to avoid the Ashton Gate area, which is expected to be very busy with the concert finishing at around 10.30pm.
