PLANNING FOR THE WEATHER
The concert takes place in Queen Square, which is an open air green-field site. It has some limited pavement and tarmac paths on the peripheral entrances and exits, however most of the space consists of grass and green space.

It is an open-air event so we would advise all attendees to be prepared for the unpredictable and increasingly adverse British summer weather. Prepare for rain or heat and dust by bringing layers and packable clothing / provisions such as waterproof coats, hats, sunglasses and sun cream.

Ground conditions are also weather dependent; if we experience extreme weather the ground may become muddy and the grass may well get churned up, or may dry out unevenly, so appropriate footwear is advised.                                                                                                                                                                                                               
WHERE CAN I BUY MERCHANDISE?                                                                                                There will be a number of official merchandise outlets located inside the venue. We would advise against purchasing any unofficial merchandise outside the venue.
