Fans travelling to see music icon Beyoncé in Sunderland this Tuesday are warned to make early travel plans and leave plenty of time for their journey.
The city is set to welcome more than 48,000 music lovers to the Stadium of Light as the star stops off on her Renaissance Tour, and, with local transport and travel set to be under pressure, ticket-holders are urged to be well prepared. A traffic management system will be in place to ease to ensure that public transport and roads do not become too congested and there will be closures and diversions on some roads.
Adding to the occasion will be street entertainment in the city centre in the run-up to the concert. Sunderland City Council and Sunderland BID have arranged a programme of events between 4pm and 7pm to encourage people to make full use of city attractions.
