Transport – How to get there?
Public transport is strongly advised for everybody attending the 2026 outdoor gigs.

Promoters do not operate transport to or from the venue. There will be no parking facilities provided at the concert site – please leave plenty of time.

What’s the age policy?
Age policy varies by show – see the individual ticket page for each gig for the final policy. Strict age monitoring will be in place and any under-18s attending an over-18s show will be refused entry without refund. The promoter reserves the right to refuse admission without refund to anyone who fails to comply.
