Harry Styles at Emirates Old Trafford - stage times, support, setlist, tickets and parking

Harry Styles is heading to Manchester for two huge gigs at the Emirates Old Trafford cricket ground this week. Pop superstar Harry will play on Wednesday and Thursday night at the stadium to an anticipated 74,000 fans on both nights as he continues his Love on Tour stadium tour.

The tour started at the weekend in Glasgow at the Ibrox Stadium, where Harry told fans how excited he was to be playing his first ever solo stadium tour. And this week Holmes Chapel-raised Harry will head back home to the north west to entertain the masses in Manchester.

The show comes fresh from the release of Harry's third studio album, Harry's House, released to great acclaim last month and already spawning the megahit chart-topper As It Was. But if the setlist from Glasgow is to be replicated in Manchester, fans get expect a clutch of Harry's fan favourites, including Sign of the Times, Adore You, Watermelon Sugar and the now legendary Kiwi.

With so many fans expected at these two gigs, it will pay to be extra organised about your travel arrangements. The ground recommends public transport as the best option as roads will be closed immediately around the stadium on Wednesday and Thursday.

Here we take a look at all the details of the gig including the support act in Manchester, anticipated stage times and how to get there.

Who is the support act?

4pm - Doors open

7.15pm - Mitski

How to get there?

Fans are advised to travel to the show via public transport as there is no car parking available at Old Trafford Cricket Ground. Old Trafford tram stop is directly next to the venue, but gig-goers are being advised to also seek out stops within a short walking distance - such as Trafford Bar, Firswood or Wharfside when it gets to peak time around the gig. Fans can park for free at Parkway or Sale Water Park and use Park and Ride services to board the tram to Trafford Bar/Wharfside.

Fans can also park at Old Trafford Football ground, but parking is not free. The 255, 256, 263 and x50 bus services will also run within walking distance of Old Trafford.

Will there be road closures?

The roads around the stadium (Brian Statham Way, Great Stone Road, Warwick Road and part of Talbot Road at the front of the ground) will have closures in place during the concert. Brian Statham Way will be closed between 10.30am and approximately 11.30pm, Talbot Road and Great Stone Road will be closed at the end of the event (between 10.30pm and approx.11.30pm) to ensure safe transit of spectators.

There will be a diversion signposted via White City Way to Chester Road to bypass the event zone. The closed roads will be opened again when it is deemed safe.
