The Killers at Ashton Gate: Full list of banned items including umbrellas, food and perfume

The Killers are set to play Ashton Gate next week after their gig was pushed back twice due to Covid-19. The American rock band are bringing their 'Imploding the Mirage' tour to Bristol on Thursday, May 26, and will be supported by the Manic Street Preachers.

The long awaited gig will kick off 7.30pm with the fan village opening at 3.30pm and stadium bowl 5.30pm. Fans are assured that all tickets bought for the 2020 gig which sold out in hours are being transferred to the new 2022 date.

Ahead of the big event, Ashton Gate has posted a list of frequently asked questions on its website, including what people can and can't bring in. Anyone with tickets to the gig will have to make sure they leave umbrellas, and any food or drink, at home.

In answer to the question 'what can I bring with me?' the stadium responded: "If it is necessary to bring a bag, ensure it is as small as possible. Nothing larger than size A4 will be permitted. All bags will be searched on entry.

"Suitable clothing in case of inclement weather. Umbrellas will not be permitted inside the venue. One bottle of water (500ml or smaller) in transparent plastic will be permitted, but these must be sealed on entry."

It has also posted a list of prohibited items, urging people to check their website nearer the time of the concert for any updates. The list of banned items are as follows:

  • Glass, cans, bottles or thermos flasks of any kind
  • Flammable liquids and aerosols (including perfume, hairspray etc)
  • Laser pens/pointers
  • Laptops, iPads, professional cameras/video equipment
  • Food and drink, unless for medicinal purposes
  • Umbrellas, signs, banners, flags, inflatables, selfie sticks
  • Air horns, whistles or other noise making devices
  • Knives or weapons, fireworks, confetti, glitter bombs or sprays

The website continues: "There will be a wide range of bars and food outlets located around the Stadium both inside the concourses and outside in the fan village. There are also plenty of toilets located inside the concourses as well as temporary toilets in the fan village."
